[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

[@themav7232]

Nice to see they've actually made a great looking vehicle compared to their previous models as ssangyong 👍

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Absolutely, although the Torres looks OK from the front too

[@themav7232]

@DefinitelyNotAGuru Yes, it doesn't look too shabby either. 👍

[@jasonshaw1628]

Great review & will be great value in the used car market. I guess it won't be cheap to insure due to the lack of claims data, etc. We now the Ant & Dec of car reviews😂

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Group 25 so shouldn’t be too bad at all. Ant & Dec? They make my teeth itch 😂

[@Brian-om2hh]

It certainly will be good value on the used market, although there may not be too many around.......

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍. Thank you both

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Our pleasure!

[@FancyaBevMate]

Freaky I was a town south of my area of operations (leicester) last week called market harborough and saw one of these dealerships and thought what do they sell haha now I know. Cheers

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

[@GarryM66]

Nice to see a family car at a reasonable priced fully kitted out sub 40k. The money you save on the additional cost of an EV plus £400 annual VED will buy you lots of petrol so wouldn’t be too concerned about the cost at the pump!

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Good point!

[@andrewhumphreys586]

I must say it looks great value especially for a family. 👍

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

[@johndoyle4723]

Thanks, looks OK and well specced, but a bit late to introduce a new ICE/non hybrid to the UK,I suspect sales will be very low. Keep up the good work on reviews and news and lease deals etc.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

👍

[@Brian-om2hh]

Indeed. Newly released plain ICE cars aren't quite on trend anymore......

[@DavidBoreham-kk9dx]

Thanks Jim looks like at least 1 company knows how to price their cars to sell well spect as well apart from economy what's not to like?

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Yep, economy is the only real downside but it’ll be a big one for some

[@katdes7305]

Who makes these cars, the 12.3 screens are the same as new hyundai kona also the beeps sound the same, did it come of the same production line?

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Maybe

[@railvlogger1439]

Where do you find these things?

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

They'll be in KGM dealers before long I guess

[@ProbablyNotGoodEnough]

Not too shabby mate. Design is a bit of a mix between other cars. Is it me or the front is very Kia-ish and the light at the back are similar to RR Velar 😊

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

I can see both of those, I actually really love the front lighting

[@andrewjones5570]

Nice looking car 👍

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

I think so too!

[@COYSWEDEN]

Beautiful car

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

👍

[@mikadavies660]

Personally I would stick to known brands with known dealership backups. Who knows how long it would be off the road, if something went wrong or an accident occurred?

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

They’ve had dealerships in the UK for donkey’s so there’s no drama. Insurance Group 25 tells you that supply chain is a non-issue.

[@MarthaMansbridge]

KGM isn’t new to the UK, they’ve sold here as Ssangyong for decades. Not too many dealers but these are South Korean - they’re reliable.

[@gabrielconstantin4633]

Finally , someone wake up >>>THANKS A LOT

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

No idea as I couldn't find the MPG on the trip computer

[@theinterfacecars]

👋

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

'ello darlin'

[@Brian-om2hh]

Not a bad looking car this. It does look a bit heavily designed around the rear quarters though... I'm glad Ssangyong have finally moved away from adorning their cars with lots of chrome. It made them look like Buddhist temples... Nicely designed, stylish interior.... Fuel consumption isn't quite where it ought to be to compete with the competition....

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

👍

[@williamfence566]

Strange engine choice when the rest of the vehicle looks well thought out ( excluding no HVAC buttons like all the new stuff ) . If you're not going to Hybrid and want 30 mpg stick a 2ltr in to cope with the size and weight.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

A bit of mild hybrid tech would have been great - power is fine to be fair but MPG is a bit off.

[@guydeaannemer6780]

@@DefinitelyNotAGuru The EV and hybrid market is coming to an end, which will make ICE back more interesting.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

😂😂 if you say so

[@cabottaxi]

Worth peanuts in 2 years time. Wondering what the back up is going to be like with parts and servicing?

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

They’ve had dealerships in the UK for donkey’s so there’s no drama.

[@FactsnotFiction555]

Nice car, good price, but woeful mpg, therefore it won't be on my list of cars to consider.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Yep, definitely could have done with better economy; otherwise pretty great.

[@HugeYFronts]

Nice looking car in and out... However, that engine being the only choice doesn't seem like clever business and limiting it's audience somewhat. Will be decent as a second hand deal, but 37k with that engine...i don't see it

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

👌

[@Suffolkman1961]

Things were looking really good until you mention the fact that all is controlled via the touchscreen; I want physical buttons, I can’t be doing with all that rubbish

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

👌

[@keithirwin3316]

33mpg! OMG what is happening to modern cars. My 2019 Kadjar 1.5dciedc averages around the 55mpg mark. This dies not fell like progress. Nice car though!

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Yep, lower powered engines without hybrid tech certainly are not super efficient! Shame, as with 40-45 mpg this could be a huge hit.

[@osm6435]

One supposed top spec model only and no pano/sun roof...

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Nope

[@MarthaMansbridge]

No glass roof, presume no AWD given there’s one option and more than the Torres? Same awkward screen controls despite the South Korean versions having a very smart, separate HVAC control in the centre console. Makes zero sense, this is not going to compete with the flood of far better equipped Chinese cars invading our shores

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

It doesn’t need to compete with anything really as they only want low volume sales - I think the placement is to be an alternative for those who want something different. If they sell big volumes they will get caught up in ZEV mandate which they are currently able to avoid.

[@MarthaMansbridge]

@@DefinitelyNotAGurua fair point but I still can’t understand why this isn’t better equipped. The K40 AWD Torres is a far better bet, lower in price. The only difference in specification I can see is the Actyon has a 360 camera.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

This is a way better car than the Torres in every way. I had 2 Torres’ for a week and did a few hundred miles in each. I’d suggest just driving both.

[@MarthaMansbridge]

@@DefinitelyNotAGuruhow? It’s exactly the same car, same interior, same engine, gearbox, same bonnet, wings, doors and drivetrain up to the C Pillar. What’ve they changed that makes it so different? Genuinely interested because my understanding from other reviews including from Korea is that it’s just a Torres with a different boot.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

All you have to do is drive them and the differences are clear, one is very skittish, quite noisy, buggy etc whilst the other isn’t. Watch my Torres reviews or just go test drive them. These are physical things, not spec sheets. I drive 100+ cars per year.
