All version names below are exactly as in the database (2.0 MT, 2.0 AT, 2.3 MT, 2.3 AT). Identical names are split by fuel, power, drive, and gearbox as listed.

1 generation (2005-10-01 – 2010-12-31). Body: SUV 5-doors. 8 versions. Engines sit Front, longitudinal. Diesel versions use a 1998 cm³ 4 Inline Turbo engine at 141 hp / 310 Nm with Manual 5 or Automatic 4. Gasoline versions use either 2299 cm³ at 150 hp / 220 Nm (Manual 5 or Automatic 4) or 2295 cm³ at 150 hp / 214 Nm (Automatic 6). Drive is RWD or AWD. Ground clearance is 189 mm or 217 mm. Tank: 75 l. Gross weight: 2520 kg on every version.

2 generation (2011-01-01 – 2013-10-31), including restyling (2013-10-01 – 2021-01-31). Body: SUV 5-doors. 12 versions before restyling and 12 after. Engines that list a position are Front, transverse. The gasoline line is 1998 cm³, 4 Inline, boost No, 149 hp / 197 Nm, Manual 6 or Automatic 6, FWD or AWD. The diesel line is 1998 cm³, 4 Inline, Turbo, either 149 hp / 360 Nm or 175 hp / 360 Nm, same six-speed Manual / Automatic and FWD / AWD pairings. Ground clearance on all second-generation versions that list it is 180 mm. Tank: 57 l. The restyling keeps the same version names and the same 1998 cm³ pair; 0–100 km/h is measured on the 2011–2013 versions and is not measured on the restyled versions.

Which version to choose

Differences below are arithmetic on the listed figures.

Fuel and mixed consumption. First-generation 2.3 Gasoline versions sit at 12.0–12.4 l/100 km mixed — 4.2–6.4 l/100 km above the second-generation Diesel 2.0 MT FWD at 6.0. On the restyling, Diesel 2.0 MT 149 hp FWD at mixed 6.0 uses 2.5 l/100 km less than Gasoline 2.0 MT FWD at 7.5, and 2.5 l/100 km less than Gasoline 2.0 AT AWD at 8.5. Diesel torque is 360 Nm versus 197 Nm on the 1998 cm³ gasoline engine (+163 Nm).

Drive. First generation is RWD or AWD only — no FWD. From 2011, FWD is the lighter, lower-consumption pairing: restyling Gasoline 2.0 AT FWD mixed 8.0 versus AWD 8.5; Diesel 2.0 MT 149 hp FWD 6.0 versus AWD 6.4. Restyling Gasoline 2.0 AT AWD kerb 1700 kg is 80 kg above the FWD 2.0 AT at 1620 kg.

Gearbox. First-generation automatics are 4 gears except 2.3 AT 214 Nm AWD (6). From 2011 every gearbox is 6. On restyling gasoline, 2.0 MT FWD mixed 7.5 versus 2.0 AT FWD 8.0 (+0.5). On restyling diesel 149 hp FWD, 2.0 MT mixed 6.0 versus 2.0 AT 7.3 (+1.3).

Power. Second-generation diesel 175 hp versus 149 hp is +26 hp at the same 360 Nm. Pre-restyling, Diesel 2.0 MT 175 hp FWD is the only 10 s 0–100; Diesel 2.0 AT 175 hp reaches 186 km/h, 12 km/h above 149 hp Automatic FWD at 174 km/h and 23 km/h above gasoline 163–165 km/h. Restyling 175 hp Automatic mixed 7.0 is 0.3 below 149 hp Automatic FWD at 7.3, but restyling 175 hp Manual mixed 6.6 is 0.6 above 149 hp Manual FWD at 6.0.

Clearance and tank. First-generation diesel RWD/AWD Manual clearance 217 mm is 37 mm above second-generation 180 mm and 28 mm above first-generation gasoline 189 mm. Tank 75 l versus 57 l is +18 l.

Weight. Moving from 1 generation Diesel 2.0 AT AWD (1905 kg) to restyling Gasoline 2.0 MT FWD (1612 kg) is −293 kg. Gross drops from 2520 kg to 2100–2260 kg.

If the priority is mixed consumption and a measured 0–100, 2 generation Diesel 2.0 MT 175 hp FWD (10 s, mixed 6.0) or Diesel 2.0 MT 149 hp FWD (11 s, mixed 6.0) match the numbers. If the priority is torque and AWD with a four-speed automatic, 1 generation 2.0 AT Diesel 141 hp AWD is the only Automatic 4 AWD diesel (310 Nm, 15 s, mixed 8.5, kerb 1905 kg, tank 75 l, clearance 189 mm). If the priority is gasoline without turbo, 2 generation / restyling 2.0 MT FWD is the lowest-consumption gasoline pairing (mixed 7.5, 149 hp, 197 Nm). The 2299/2295 cm³ 2.3 MT / 2.3 AT versions are the only engines above 1998 cm³; they also post the highest mixed figures in the set.

Problems, reliability, service manual

This catalogue has no measured defect rates, reliability scores, recall lists, or a service-manual PDF for the SsangYong Actyon. Those items are not measured here. What is measured and can be used as a reliability proxy in a narrow sense is the published hardware split: first generation Front, longitudinal with Dependent, spring rear on diesels versus second generation Front, transverse with Independent, spring at both ends; first-generation Automatic 4 versus later Automatic 6; diesel compression 17.5 then 16.5; gasoline injection Distributed injection (multi-point) where listed. Search queries about “Actyon Sports”, pickup bodies, or a 2008-only problem list are outside this dataset: the body type listed is SUV 5-doors only, and years are the generation windows above.
