The KGM Actyon is already set to arrive in Europe

A few weeks ago we discussed the return to the market of the SsangYong Actyon. In this new incarnation, under the KGM umbrella, it came as a modern, well-sized SUV aiming to carve out a place in this important segment. However, it was mentioned that for the time being it would only be available in the South Korean market, so it seemed quite far away.

But the situation has changed, as it has now been announced that this revived model will be available in the European market. For the time being, the entry point into Europe will be Poland. In this European country, the first reservations for the South Korean SUV are already starting to come in.

The Actyon’s three trim levels

The new KGM SUV, formerly SsangYong, has a length of 4,740 millimetres and has been presented for the Polish market in three trim levels. These are called Joy, Adventure and Wild. The entry-level trim is the Joy, which includes features such as leather upholstery; electrically adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation; a two-zone automatic climate control; navigation systems; a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster; a 12.3-inch digital infotainment screen and eight airbags.

That said, in Poland it will only be available with a single 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with direct injection. This unit delivers 163 CV and is paired with either a six-speed automatic or six-speed manual gearbox. All-wheel drive is only available in combination with the automatic gearbox.

For now, the order book is already open and the first reservations are being taken. However, the first units will not arrive until the last month of the year. The starting price of the KGM Actyon in Poland is 37,450 euros, while the top-of-the-range version, the Wild model with automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive, costs 47,522 euros.

A sales success in South Korea

The model has been on sale in South Korea for a few months and has managed to attract the attention of buyers in the country. Since its market launch it has recorded sales that come close to 60,000 units.
