New Korean crossovers will officially go on sale in Russia. What is known about them
“TagAZ Car Lovers Club”: New KGM Actyon and Torres to arrive in Russia
The Korean brand KGM, formerly known as SsangYong, plans to introduce updated versions of the Torres and Actyon crossovers in Russia by the end of 2026. The TagAZ Car Enthusiasts Club reported this on Telegram, citing unnamed sources.
According to the resource, with the update, the crossovers will receive more ergonomic headlights instead of the “recessed” ones, in the recesses of which in winter Snow accumulated. They will also see the replacement of the miniature transmission control joystick with a larger one, a multimedia system with updated firmware, as well as the appearance of a second wireless charger and a revised climate control unit with physical “knobs” displaying the temperature and air flow direction.
In addition, it is claimed that the updated Torres and Actyon will retain the current 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a capacity of 170 hp, but it will no longer be paired with a 6-speed, but a more modern 8-speed Aisin automatic. Finally, the crossovers should receive modified algorithms for the all-wheel drive system.
Currently, the Actyon crossover is not represented in the Russian KGM lineup, although its appearance in Russia was officially announced last year. In terms of dimensions, it should become the largest crossover of the brand on our market: its length, width and height are 4740, 1920 and 1680 mm, and the wheelbase is 2680 m. Only the Rexton SUV is larger, which has these figures at 4850, 1960 and 1825 m, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2865 mm.
