SsangYong shows its new lineup

Wallis Automotive Europe will launch this summer the new range of models for the SsangYong automaker. Amongst the newcomers we can count the SsangYong Actyon Sports, the SsangYong Rexton W and the new SsangYong Korando. Later this year, towards the autumn season, the new MPV model named SsangYong Rodius will make its debut.

The new compact SUV SssangYong Korando is the first of the new models in the European lineup of the South Korean automaker. The design of the compact terrain vehicle was done by the famous Italian stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro. The SssangYong Korando is a landmark for the South Korean company as it is the first car to feature a monocoque chassis in the automakers’ entire history. The new SsangYong Korando will be available with one petrol engine and two diesel units as well as a choice between a manual gearbox and an automatic six gear one. Customers will also have a choice between the advanced all wheel drive traction and the front wheel drive option.

The completely new SsangYong Rexton W, a large terrain premium vehicle, will be available as a seven seat version. The body is independent from the chassis. The SsangYong Rexton W comes with a non permanent all wheel drive system with a lockable reductor. Thanks to all of these qualities, the SsangYong Rexton W will offer a great price to quality ratio for its class.

The new SsangYong Actyon Sports, in contrast to the traditional pickup trucks, is not just a vehicle used for labor, as it can be very nicely used as a family car or a recreational vehicle as it offers total comfort for a maximum of five people. These qualities are possible thanks to the fact that the SsangYong Actyon Sports uses an independent rear suspension with five arms, offering a level of comfort which one could normally find in regular road cars. Other pickup trucks normally use leaf springs which severely reduces the ride comfort.
