new SsangYong Actyon Sport?

[damieG82]

courtesy the SsangYong display at this year's Geneva Auto Show, here's their 'SUT 1' concept. Can't help but think this is the new Actyon (well in a dressier 'concept car' form)

i find d tray rel small tho SSSSSSSSSSSS

[3stagevtec]

wow, that looks great! and if it is Mercedes powered as well, it seems like a good buy..

[biggy82]

much better looking than the current Actyon. ditto on the tray size being too small

[lighthammer]

Looks like the lancer and the kia cerato came together and got married, and then they had a threesome with a honda accord.

to me it seems like they did their research when building this truck.. exactly how many of the luxury / pickup owners ever use their trucks for transporting / hauling stuff? and when ever they do, it usually for transporting small items to the beach etc..

in this case, smaller tray = larger interior = more leg room / comfort = better daily use truck..

^^^^ it'd stil be btr to have both as in my case my pickup is d work horse as well as a family ride.......------> Nav and Lux by comparison.......

I agree in having both, but compromising some tray space for interior space is a good idea imo.. That truck can still carry bags of cement / a few bricks / tiles etc for the odd house job.. Remember 99.9% of the time, your average family will not use the tray..

the current model is spitefully ugly

Yeah, why not?
It had quite a few car-companies that tried to make pickups out of cars...


The old Subaru Baja


Holden pickup (with a 6.2L V8 engine)


A peugeot-something-something...


An american classic - El Camino

^^ yess it does...! i love itt! nice colour tooO!

[sliderz1]

dat Hoggar livin up 2 peugeut unmistakable stylin..............

if d looks on d Holden eh ketch yuh........d V8 will

[venum]

the el camino is prob the most successful of car-turned-pickups

saw some clean and well done ones in texas last year

the actyon is prob the newest line of these

they still crappy imho

between that and a wingle, well it's a hard choice,

the chinese may win

[Rutless Tiida]

And the Wingle styling is getting better...

Wingle 5



Wingle 3

Don't know about the built quality....

[damieG82]

lighthammer and venum, I think yall are mistaken about this vehicle on a number of fronts

first off, this is NOT a car-turned-pickup like the El Camino, and others as pictured above. The current Actyon is a proper utility vehicle employing a separate ladder frame as opposed to a monocoque. It also has selectable 4 wheel drive with low range for true off road performance, which you can see in many a youtube video.

What actually makes it superior to other pickups is its 4 wheel independent coil suspension, 6 speed auto tranny with tiptronic control, and passenger-centric body, ie load space is reduced to gain superior interior room becuz lets face it, 'lifestyle' vehicles like this hardly ever do any large/heavy load carrying.

Additionally, SsangYong uses Mercedes knowhow in its chassis and engine design since the two companies shared an official alliance some years back. And this brings me to build quality... it's far superior to a GWM Wingle. Heck, I'd say a 15 year old Musso has better build quality. One look at any fleet service Wingle is proof positive of this fact

Wingle 5



Don't know about the built quality....

[DriFT_KiNG]
