The SsangYong Actyon( /ækˈtiːən/) is a series of compact crossover SUV that replaced the SsangYong Korando and SsangYong Musso Sports and is available as either Coupe Sports (Actyon) or Sports Utility Truck (Actyon Sports).
Both are available 2WD or 4WD systems and a third generation common rail VGT turbo diesel engine or a 2.3 litre overhead cam four-cylinder petrol engine.
Replacing the original Musso, the Actyon Sports has a wider track, increased load capacity and a more fuel efficient European designed engine.
The vehicle also comes with double wishbone front suspension and a five-link rear end as well as the availability of ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is a big offering from the South Korean manufacturer. Along with ESP, the Actyon comes with hill descent control as standard (on some models).
