Out-classing the Toyota RAV4? (KGM Actyon K60 2025 Review)

KG Mobility is the new name for the old Ssangyong here in Australia, and the rebranded importer has just launched its mid-size Actyon to take on popular SUV choices in Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Kia Sportage and Subaru Forester.

Arriving with characterful coupe-like styling and a long list of features, the Korean successor to the woeful original diesel Actyon pitches semi-premium luxury and a sporty driving experience to justify the high-spec K60 flagship’s formidable $50,000 driveaway price tag.

Only offered in a 1.5-litre turbo four-cylinder front-drive format, the Actyon could have its work cut out challenging more established nameplates that bring hybrid powertrains and all-wheel drive to the SUV table for similar outlay.

Chasing Cars deputy editor Curt Dupriez takes a deep dive with the Korean newcomer to see whether it’s worth short-listing on your medium-SUV shopping list.
