Actyon Sports Hits the Road in 2012

SYDNEY – Jan 18, 2012: Ssangyong Australia has revealed the first details of the new tougher Actyon Sports that will be launched in Australia in March this year. The details follow the launch of the ute in Korea under the ‘Korando’ nameplate.

Jeff Barber, Director, Ssangyong Australia said that anticipation was already building as to the direction the Korean car company will take in the Australian market with the new addition.

“We’re really looking forward to launching the Actyon Sports, especially if overseas reactions to the new tough-looking design of the concept vehicle are anything to go by.”

“While we can’t reveal the specifications for the Australian market until launch date, we’re confident of giving our competitors a run for their money. What we can say at this stage, is that there will be three derivatives – the Tradie, Sports and SPR, available in 4x2 and 4x4, six-speed manual and Australian-made six speed automatic transmission,” he added.

“Australians seeking a great value work-horse will find the new ute satisfies in every way,” Mr Barber concluded.

The vehicle forms part of Ssangyong’s diesel range, with fuel efficient high-torque engines as standard, and all priced at the same value-point Australians have come to know and love from the carmaker.
