KGM Actyon Hybrid lands in Australia

KGM has revealed the latest addition to its growing range of electrified vehicles with confirmation the Actyon Hybrid will be making its way to Australia.

The artist formerly known as Ssangyong offers the Torres mid-size SUV in Hybrid and EVX pure-electric guise as well as the all-electric Musso EV ute and these are now joined by the slightly larger Actyon Hybrid.

Measuring 4740mm long, 1910mm wide and 1680mm tall with a 2680mm wheelbase, the Actyon Hybrid is at the larger end of the medium SUV segment, offering a minimum of 430 litres of luggage space (measured to the top of the rear seats) and a maximum of 1440 litres with the rear seats folded.

It uses a 110kW/220Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine in conjunction with a 130kW/300Nm electric motor to send a combined maximum of 150kW to the front wheels only. Claimed combined fuel consumption is 5.5L/100km.

Two variants will be offered, the $50,000 K50 and $53,000 K60 (both prices driveaway) but KGM is offering a $2000 discount as an introductory launch offer, reducing prices to $48,000 and $51,000 respectively.

The full specification list can be found at the bottom of this article, but the only option is metallic paint at $700 for any colour other than basic white.  

KGM backs its vehicles with a seven-year/unlimited kilometre warranty with five years’ of complimentary roadside assistance and a seven-year/150,000km warranty on the high voltage battery.

Vehicles are available in dealerships now.
