Ssangyong Actyon Sports test drive since 2007 pickup

Ssangyong Actyon Sports Pickup taught to think less

The Ssangyong Actyon Sports pickup has taught to think less. As a result, he went more smoothly, began to accelerate more vigorously and eat less. And just two programs were added to the automatic transmission. The new six -speed automatic transmission and the new price here are two worthy reasons to talk about Ssangyong Actyon Sports again.
Fingers are short
The old four -speed automatic transmission has long asked for a landfill of history: no smoothness in work, excessive thoughtfulness and jerking. And the new six -speed automatic machine is much more pleasant and quick. In theory, at six speeds, acceleration time should be reduced and efficiently increased, but how specifically the manufacturer is silent.
The switching algorithm has really become much better. In addition, the new box, like Ssangyong Rexton, has a manual mode. The programs can be clung to the automatic transmission selector and the buttons on the steering wheel. However, the second option is not entirely convenient, because the thumbs simply do not reach the petals. You have to take your hands off the rim and, in addition, switch your eyes from the road to the steering wheel, which is quite dangerous in motion.
Other questions remained to the manual regime. For the sake of an experiment, I turned on almost all the programs on a steep rise, but I did not notice any difference in movement. The thrust remained confident. At the same time, the display regularly showed that I, for example, go to sixth gear. It seems that the numbers on the dashboard mean nothing. If the transfer is higher than the capabilities of the motor, it simply does not turn on.
Next in line is the body?
I hope that now Ssangyong will also deal with another problem of its truck with insufficient hardness of the body (it trembles on each asphalt crack, like nervous mousse). It is time for the manufacturer to pay attention to this stubborn fact.
In conclusion, I recall that Ssangyong Actyon Sports has fallen in price by 13% and now costs 592,000 rubles in the initial configuration. The version with automatic transmission can be bought for 716 00 rubles. If you want to add 18-inch alloy wheels, heating seats, rain sensor, climate control and leather decoration of the cabin, then the car will cost 781,000 rubles. Recall that all modifications are equipped with a 2-liter diesel engine and connected by all-wheel drive type Part-Time.
