Actyon badge returns to join Torres in KGM line-up

KGM revealed the “new” Actyon crossover at the 2025 Brussels Motor Show, a Kodiaq/CR-V rival. The five seater is 4.74m long and 1920mm wide. It has claimed boot space of 668-1568L.

Based on the KGM Torres, the Actyon crossover is the first new model introduced after the name change from SsangYong to KGM.

Like Torres, this uses the same 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine making 127kW and 280Nm. The output goes to the front (or all four) wheels via a six-speed Aisin-sourced automatic gearbox. 

Cool lighting up front adds to appeal.

Actyon is larger than Torres so its 0-100 time is likely to be around 10 seconds, similar to that of base Kodiaq. Whether or not there will be an electric version is unknown but given there’s a Torres EV, consider it likely.

Check out our review of KGM Torres EVX here.

Styling takes inspiration from both the petrol and electric versions of Torres. There’s a complex headlight layout and slimline LED rear lights while the vertically oriented taillights of Torres are also noted here. Other features include substantial rear pillars, prominent wheel arches, 20-inch wheels and a purposeful overall appearance. 

Interesting lighting at the rear too.

The cabin has twin 12.3-inch screens under a curved panel, like in Torres. There’s also a floating centre console, a crystal gear selector, quilted leather upholstery with suede inserts, and a flat-bottom wheel. Expect a Qi charger, smart phone integration and 32-colour ambient lighting as well. 

Similar instrument layout to Torres.

With dimensions similar to those of a Nissan X-Trail, and being very nearly as long as the Skoda Kodiaq, the Actyon should be spacious inside, despite having the same 2680mm wheelbase as the Torres.

Pricing is not to hand as yet but expect it to be slightly north of the Torres ask.
