The name of the Korean company SsangYong in translation into Russian means "Two Dragons." In an old Korean legend, these dragons were friendly, despite having one magic stone for two. Apparently, this symbolizes the ability to combine opposites to achieve a strong result.
What contradictory SsangYong connects in the designs of their cars? Reliability and simplicity of an army SUV with the comfort of a premium car in interior design; increased cross-country ability and stiffness of the suspension with softness and comfort of the same suspension in overcoming obstacles; the engine’s torque in the movement of an almost two-ton body with passengers on the road with the dynamism of this engine when overtaking and driving on autobahns.
If you look at the Ssan Yong range of SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle - SUV) cars , then in the middle between the challenger for the title of a large Rexton jeep and the defiantly original, but youth-compact Actyon, there is a flow of the middle river and a bastion of healthy conservatism - Kyron . People like to choose, but plenty of "getting", they often stop at the middle, balanced decisions. Confirmation of this is the title "Leader of sales among SUVs of 2010" in Ukraine and the annual growth in sales of such cars in Russia.
The SsangYong Kyron was created on the same platform as the SsangYong Actyon. Kyron is intended for owners who do not want to express themselves loudly, but do not deny themselves the pleasure of looking respectable. In terms of the SsangYong Kyron, the specifications are similar to the SsangYong Actyon, but Kyron was initially equipped with a lower gear, which was later implemented on the Actyon Sports pickup . Its body is more spacious and ergonomic, the influence of the Mercedes design is noticeable even in such trifles as the “foot” hand brake and the torpedo insert line under the expensive tree. Kyron’s dynamically-connected four-wheel drive is not a full-fledged off-road “razdatka”, but better than the couplings of most youth crossovers that burn out in 15 minutes of slipping in an average sized puddle.
Many owners of SsangYong Kyron cars have appeared in Russia and the countries of the former CIS. This is facilitated by the quality of our roads, the income level of our citizens and the long-standing habit of finding healthy compromises. Among the advantages of the SsangYong Kyron are reviews of the high-torque and elasticity of the engine, which you can’t call racing, but the engine pulls almost two-ton engine confidently on the road and on the highway. They praise excellent brakes, as well as a roomy comfortable interior and a large trunk. Regarding the SsangYong Kyron interior, the reviews provide good sound insulation along with a well-functioning climate control, which allows you to confidently go on long trips and family trips. And this is with moderate fuel consumption, especially for cars with diesel engines.
Many praise patency in difficult road conditions for hunting and fishing, although you can’t count on the fact that Chiron is a full-fledged SUV.
Regarding the shortcomings of the SsangYong Kyron, the reviews emit weak acceleration when overtaking (especially in models with automatic gearboxes). This also includes increased lateral rolls at high speeds. Some of the SsangYong Kyron reviews contain complaints about hard and not comfortable seats along with a harsh suspension. Depressing the owners is also the lack of factory underbody protection and a quickly rusting pad with engine number.
In general, the car Ssang Yong Kyron causes positive reviews and satisfaction from knowingly spent money.
