The Korean brand name SsangYong has disappeared this month in
Australia with the local distributor now adopting the KGM branding of its
parent company. The KGM Group acquired SsangYong two years ago
changing its name globally, at which time it was known here as KGM
SsangYong. The naming move is significant given the arrival of new
product – the recent KGM Torres mid-size SUV and the soon to be
launched Actyon coupe SUV in two grades, the nameplate returning after a
14-year hiatus. The Actyon credited with starting the sloped roof trend that
is now so prevalent with many SUVs. Two versions of the Actyon will be
available, the K50 at $47,990 drive-away and the K60 for another $3,000.
The Torres and Actyon models join the long-standing and highly regarded
Musso dual cab ute.
