KYRON 2007
Price: USD 2,310

Indian conglomerate Mahindra owns this South Korean brand SsandYong. Rapid development has been seen over the years regarding the launching of its new models, as it’s trying to compete with the well known brands like Hyundai and Kia.

Engine Performance

It features a 2.0 L, four cylinders, turbo diesel that produces 104kW of power and 310Nm of torque. The optional six speed Automatic gearbox works better with smooth and quiet engine for a diesel. The Manual transmission provides low fuel economy with 7.3L per 100km and with the Automatic it offers 8.4L.

Safety

The safety features that SsangyongKyron provides include anti-lock brakes, hill descent control, stability control, curtain airbags and reverse parking sensors. Remote keyless entry and Electric folding side mirrors are also available. A Thatcham approved alarm and immobilizer package provide the safety from thieves specially when running on off-roads. Another important feature is remote central locking. To enhance security additional low cost tracking device can also be availed.

Impressive Interior

Lofty seating provides good visibility but not enough support is provided by the flat chair through corners. The switchgear is mostly thick and logically positioned. The stereo offers plenty of fiddly buttons. It offers broad instrument panel, placed at back side of the rake-adjustable wheel. The reading of clearly placed dials becomes easy.

Space and Availability

Headroom is provided in big size, but rear legroom is not enough though. Boot is 625-litre that is very impressive. You can put some valuable stuff in its lashing points and a small space is provided under floor compartment. Not only that but if you want to increase the luggage capacity up to 1222 litres, you can fold the 60/40 split rear seats. Four adults can easily fit on spacious cabin of The Kyron. The spare tire has been assigned below the car; the boot contains an immense amount of space, considering only five seats have been offered by this vehicle.

Infotainment

Entry-level models include a CD player, 16-inch alloy wheels, four electric windows and air conditioning. The lead-in 2.0 S is two-wheel drive, and the SE four-wheel drive, in addition to traction control. Moreover, EX versions include 18-inch alloys, leather upholstery, an up-rated audio system, parking sensors, side airbags and the range-topping 2.7 SPR has speed-sensitive power steering.

Off-Road Ability

The advanced suspension is assigned with the Kyron to deal it with rough terrain. It also offers a system has been adopted from Land Rover called hill descent control, which slows down the speed by controlling the brakes and throttle, at the touch of a button, hence driver will need to deal with the steering only. To stop it from sliding, SE and SX models feature ESP (Electronic Stability Program) that will help the driver both on and off the road.

Driving Performance

It offers pretty impressive fuel consumption too. While driving at around 100 km/h on the highway, the comfort levels are quite promising. Even at such high speed, it does not lose its stability and sheer brilliance.

Ssangyong Kyron review helps you in guiding that it’s a decent model with all exciting features. Not only it offers dynamic driving experience but also satisfactory safety features. Impressive fuel efficiency is another area for the consumers to consider. All in all, it’s a good package for those who are looking for the combination of reliability with convenience.
