So, until recently, SsangYong was focused on classic SUVs, while many others have long switched to crossovers. By 2011, and this manufacturer followed this example on the model "Saneng Aktion". Technical characteristics, a place in the market of this car are considered further.

All versions of both generations are equipped with disc brakes, front ventilated. For the first Actyon, wheels with a diameter of 16, 18 inches were available, and 16-18 inch wheels were fitted to the new car.

Updates

Production of the first generation of the model in the elevator liftback was stopped in 2011, and the pickup is produced to this day. In 2014, it was updated. Outwardly, the front part was changed mainly, and also diode lighting devices were installed. In the equipment added climate control. In addition, a little updated interior decoration, "Saneng Aktion." The technical characteristics remain the same, as the design has not changed.

SsangYong New Actyon, introduced in the market since 2011, also underwent a single upgrade in 2013. The external upgrade was done in the same way as for Actyon Sports. That is, the main changes occurred in the front. So, we installed another bumper, radiator grille, fog lights. Also modernized lighting: in the headlights and taillights integrated LEDs.

Technical specifications have not changed, however, from the range of engines excluded the 175-strong version.

Driving performance

The considered car is considered one of the best in this segment in terms of off-road capabilities, especially the first generation of "Saneng Aktion". Technical characteristics, its clearance corresponds to lightweight classic SUVs. Therefore, it is much better off-road than crossover.

The second-generation car was created in accordance with the classical for crossovers scheme with a bearing body and automatically connected all-wheel drive, unlike the first "Saneng Aktion". Its technical characteristics therefore correspond to crossovers, that is, it is more suitable for solid roads. And yet the car has good geometric parameters and clearance for this class of cars.

Dynamics and speed characteristics are not outstanding for the segment, since most analogues have more powerful engines. Actyon first generation in any version can accelerate about 165 km / h.

The same speed can reach the petrol version of the new "Saneng Aktion". The technical characteristics of the diesel modification provide it with a maximum speed of about 10 km / h. The fastest is the 175-strong version, capable of reaching about 180 km / h.

Place on the market

Actyon has not gained much popularity among local consumers. This is partly due to the fact that this model is very specific, especially the first generation. The car on a design represents a classical off-road car as the manufacturer was until recently concentrated on release of such cars. In the market more adapted for urban conditions are in demand. The manufacturer took this into account when developing a new generation of "Saneng Aktion". Technical characteristics, its price is between the budget and the middle levels of the segment. The cost of the simplest version starts at 0.95 million rubles. In comparison, the price of similar options is much more popular Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage is about 1.5 and 1.16 million rubles, respectively. A simpler model of Hyundai Creta is sold from 0.75 to 1.2 million rubles. The maximum version of New Actyon is worth 1.46 million rubles.

Actyon Sports is more expensive: from 1.24 to 1.63 million rubles.
