2025 KGM Actyon checks in

UPDATE, 28/05/2025: KGM SsangYong Australia has changed its name yet again and will now be known as KGM Australia.

The re-rebranding coincides with the arrival of the Actyon coupe-SUV; the brand’s third entry into the already bustling medium SUV segment.

Priced from $47,000 drive away and available in just two forms, the 2025 KGM Actyon is comfortably the most premium-oriented offering between itself, the Torres it’s derived from, and the aging Korando.

Headline equipment on the base K50 variant includes 20-inch alloy wheels, a powered tailgate with hands-free operation, leather upholstery, heated and eight-way power-adjustable front seats with ventilation, a heated steering wheel and outer rear seats, interior mood lighting, dual-zone climate control and smartphone mirroring.

The dearer K60 ($50,000) adds a 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, rear sun blinds and a wireless phone charger.

Safety equipment shared between the two grades comprises eight airbags, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assist and blind-spot warning.

How much does the 2025 KGM Actyon cost?
K50 – $47,000
K60 – $50,000

ORIGINAL, 16/01/2025: KGM SsangYong Australia has confirmed the premium-oriented Actyon will enter local showrooms in the second quarter of the year, taking the brand’s total number of medium SUVs to three.

Pricing and specification details of the 2025 KGM SsangYong Actyon will be announced closer to its arrival, however its inevitable entry into the sub-$60,000 medium SUV segment has raised some questions since it will overlap with both the Korando and box-fresh Torres.

“Each of these three models offer individual characteristics,” KGM SsangYong Australia PR and product manager John Taylor told carsales, confidant the trio can coexist peacefully and offer customers “more choice” of value-focused SUVs.

No other OEM currently offers a trio of models within the mainstream medium SUV class, however that will change later this year when GWM-Haval launches the new-generation H7 to complement the existing H6 and H6 GT.

Odds are the Actyon will be priced above the mechanically related Torres, likely starting around the $46,000 mark and stretching into the mid-$50,000s so to bridge the gap between the Torres and the ladder-frame Rexton seven-seater.

Longer and wider but not as tall as its sibling, the Actyon features the same 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (120kW/280Nm) and six-speed automatic transmission but dons a more elegant exterior design and premium interior, the latter headlined by dual-12.3-inch displays, a flat-bottom steering wheel, wireless charging, crystal gear selector and leather upholstery.

Unless it can rattle the likes of the Mitsubishi Outlander and Toyota RAV4, odds are the Actyon will face the stiffest competition from the incoming Jaecoo J7 – a luxury spin-off of the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro.

Expect the Actyon to be offered in the same ELX, Adventure and Ultimate guises as the Torres and mirror the corresponding away from front- and all-wheel drive configurations.
