Ssang Yong Actyon Sports Surprise

Ssang Yong Actyon Sports Surprise

Date: 2012-12-19
It really wasn't what I was expecting from Ssang Yong. I am not sure how to explain what I was expecting, but when I sat down behind the wheel of the Actyon Sports, I was pleasantly surprised.

Ssang Yong has been credited with brave design flair, and I liked the measure of flair used on the interior treatment. "This is a no nonsense double cab four by four come to take its share of the double cab market in South Africa."

The body styling again showed restraint of flair, again I was appreciative and like the shape and Ssang Yong's retention of individuality with the new design.

Consumption figures well below 8 liters per 100 kilometers and tow capacity of 2300kg. The four wheel drive model I tested was equipped with a switchable part-time electric high and low range four wheel drive system and the Electronic Stability Control program made driving the Actyon Sport a pleasure. It ticked all the boxes with ABS brakes, airbags and smooth power steering. A four speaker audio system with USB and Bluetooth, auto dimming, adjustable seats and they say that you can get one, brand new, for just R3 600.00 per month. I didn't check the terms and conditions, but hey. Wow! That's a double cab.
