Car SsangYong New Actyon: reviews are numerous, informative and positive

In 2006, the Korean firm SsangYong released a car that simultaneously deserved the title of the original and stylish among connoisseurs, and ugly and "showy" - from the opponents. This car was created as a crossover for young and active drivers who are not shy to stand out among others. The new car was named Actyon, and he was able to achieve recognition: the SUV brand SsangYong was spoken at the level of brands with significant sales.

In 2011, SsangYong ceased to claim superoriginality and transferred the developments of Actyon to the base of the long-produced Korando model. Initially SsangYong Korando, produced from the early 90's, was a copy of the licensed Jeep CJ-7. But after Grandfather put on a new body, in which the Italian roundness replaced the English futuristic. The new SsangYong Korando is the first SUV firm with a load-bearing body, and not with a chassis frame construction. This car in Russia and Europe began to be called New Actyon, and under the name Korando it is sold in Korea and Ukraine.

New Actyon-Korando and Actyon have three more significant differences:

1. New Actyon has a bearing body, unlike the chassis of the frame structure of the former Actyon.

2. The New Actyon has a front-wheel drive with a plug-in full, as opposed to a rear-wheel drive with full-time connection from the former Actyon.

3. The New Actyon is economical, but tighter in the initial speed range of a two-liter petrol engine, unlike a 2.3-liter gasoline engine from the former Actyon.
