The SsangYong Actyon /ækˈtiːən/ is a compact SUV built by the South Korean automobile manufacturer SsangYong Motor from 2005 to 2011 for the first generation and 2012 to present for the second. It was available either as an SUV (Actyon) or as a pick-up truck (Actyon Sports). They replaced the SsangYong Musso and Musso Sports. The name is an amalgam of the words "action" and "young".
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).
The European sourced diesel engine produces 104 kW (139 hp) of power at 4000 rpm and 310 N·m (229 lb·ft) of torque at 2700 rpm. The 2.3-litre petrol engine produces around 110 kW (148 hp) at 5500 rpm ad 214 N·m (158 lb·ft) at 4500 rpm.
