KGM Motors UK, formerly known as SsangYong, proudly introduces the all-new Actyon SUV, a reimagined version of the world’s first coupe-style SUV that originally debuted in 2005. This groundbreaking C+ segment vehicle, offered exclusively in the K50 trim level, marks the South Korean automaker’s 70th anniversary with a striking blend of style, utility, and advanced technology.

A Legacy Reborn

The Actyon name encapsulates a spirit of adventure and youthful energy, urging drivers to “Act Young” and “Act On” as they pursue new horizons. Embodying KGM’s refreshed brand philosophy, ‘Practical Creativity,’ the Actyon combines bold aesthetics with exceptional functionality. Its coupe-style design features a dynamic rear-side profile, 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, and distinctive daytime running lights inspired by the four iconic trigrams of the Korean flag, creating a sophisticated yet sporty presence.

Kevin Griffin, Managing Director at KGM Motors UK, expressed his excitement: “The launch of the new Actyon perfectly reflects our commitment to delivering vehicles that inspire and empower. It is KGM’s first fully-fledged SUV since our rebrand in January 2024 and represents the next exciting chapter in our journey, following the success of the Torres and Torres EVX.”

He continued, “With its distinctive coupe design, advanced technology, and versatile functionality, the Actyon is more than an SUV – it’s a statement. We are confident it will captivate both loyal customers and a new generation of drivers.”

Luxurious Comfort Meets Intuitive Technology

Inside the cabin, the Actyon redefines luxury with hand-stitched black Nappa leather seats, accented by bold red Nappa leather side inserts. Premium materials, including suede, TPU-wrapped door trims, carbon fibre, and dark wood finishes, harmoniously blend refinement with the vibrant energy of a coupe-style SUV. A glowing crystal gear switch adds a touch of elegance to the sporty interior.

Noise-cancelling Michelin tyres and laminated front door glass ensure a serene ride, while a dual 12.3” digital cluster and infotainment display provide an intuitive driving experience. Equipped with TomTom navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, the Actyon keeps drivers connected and informed. Ambient mood lighting with 32 colour options allows for personalisation, creating a bespoke atmosphere within the vehicle.

The redesigned steering wheel offers both form and function, with an ergonomic, wide design that improves visibility of the instrument cluster. Customisable quick-access buttons enable easy control of essential functions like rear-seat sleep mode, navigation, route cancellation, and climate settings.

Performance and Versatility

At the core of the Actyon lies a 1.5 G-Di turbocharged engine paired with a 3rd generation Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a balance of power and efficiency. This combination ensures a smooth and responsive driving experience, whether navigating city streets or venturing off-road.

The Actyon excels in practicality, offering best-in-class load capacity with a spacious 668-litre boot that expands to 1,568 litres when the rear seats are folded. A 1.5-tonne towing capacity underscores its utility, while features like a hands-free kick-motion power tailgate, front and rear heated seats, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel enhance convenience and comfort.

Uncompromising Safety

Safety remains a top priority for KGM. The Actyon includes a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking. The 3D 360° ‘surround view’ monitoring system ensures safe and effortless parking, while additional features like remote rear-seat heating control further demonstrate KGM’s commitment to innovation and driver convenience.

Exclusive Colours and Warranty

Available in five stunning colours—Grand White (Solid), Dandy Blue (Metallic), Iron Silver (Metallic), Forest Green (Metallic), and Space Black (Metallic)—the Actyon caters to a variety of style preferences. Each vehicle comes with a comprehensive 5-year / 100,000-mile warranty, providing peace of mind for every driver.

Join the Celebration

As KGM Motors celebrates 70 years of automotive innovation, the all-new Actyon serves as a testament to the brand’s legacy and future ambitions. Combining style, performance, and practicality, this coupe-style SUV is poised to redefine the driving experience for a new generation.
