Overall Rating
SsangYong Kyron:
The SsangYong Kyron is a mid-size SUV built by the SsangYong Motor Company. It had a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine and was designed by Ken Greenley. It received a facelift in 2007. The name of the car is an inaccurate portmanteau made combining the pronounced sound of the mathematical symbol chi and the word run, which is intended to mean "infinite run. "
The 270XDi diesel engine is available on the Kyron increasing the performance to 121–138 kW /340–350 N⋅m. Both the 200XDi and 270XDi uses the 3rd-generation Common Rail technology. The direct injection system slightly boosts the power and fuel efficiency. The new third generation ECU is operating on 32-bit platform rather than the 16-bit found on the previous 2 generations of common-rail technology. There is also 3. 2 engine available reaching up to 162 kW - 220 hp and 2. 3 patrol engine avalaible with 112 kW /310 N⋅m. The transmission on all models is Mercedes-Benz 5G-Tronic model W722-6 5 speed....(Read more on Wikipedia)
