Car Statistics:
SsangYong - KyronÂ
Series
06
(3 stars)
Styling
(2 stars)
Inoffensive from the front, but we're not sure if even the Kyron's mother could love its awkward rear profile.
Handling
(2 stars)
The Kyron generates a respectable amount of grip but leans heavily through faster corners. The vague-feeling steering limits confidence further.
Comfort
(3 stars)
The crashy ride gets irritating, but the seats in the well-finished cabin are impressively comfortable.
Quality
(3 stars)
Well-assembled and tough-feeling, the Kyron feels more than capable of dealing with the strains of rough outdoor living.
Performance
(2 stars)
Mercedes-derived diesel engine provides limited urge and is loud when used hard - the optional automatic gearbox sapping performance further.
Roominess
(4 stars)
Decently proportioned cabin features an impressive array of stowage compartments.
Costs
(4 stars)
Decent fuel economy and cheap servicing help to push the Kyron's cost-based argument. Depreciation is likely to be reasonably well controlled, too.
Value
(4 stars)
The entry-level 2WD version seems a bit pointless, but the rest of the range offers strong value compared to more upmarket rivals.
Stereo
(2 stars)
Aftermarket stereo system is fiddly to operate, while sound quality is only average.
