In Russia SsangYong Kyron received quite warmly. It stood out from its competitors because of its very moderate price. And assembly at Sollers plants in Naberezhnye Chelny (since the end of 2006) and Vladivostok (since 2010) only consolidated its success in the market. Customers were impressed by the powerful off-road potential of the “Korean”. All-wheel drive is implemented according to the system Part Time, without center differential. Under normal driving conditions, torque drives the rear wheels (2H mode), and on off-road or slippery surface hard wired front axle(4H mode). It can be used at speeds of up to 80 km/h. Off-road, a low-range gear (4L mode) and a rear limited-slip differential help out.
The finishing materials are of good quality, the assembly is neat. But interior design is not for everyone
U Russian Kyron generous equipment. IN basic version Original all-wheel drive SUV(there are also rear-wheel drive versions) comes with ABS and EBD, air conditioning, two airbags, fog lights and heated front seats, electric windows and mirrors, as well as alloy wheels by 16 inches. The Comfort version is complemented by climate control, a 2DIN audio system with a CD/MP3 player and roof rails.

And the richest versions of Elegance and Luxury flaunt leather interior and electrically adjustable front seats. The Luxury also has a sunroof and heated rear seats.
Engine
Chassis and body
The front spring suspension has weak upper and lower links. ball joints(1,300 rubles each), which sometimes did not last even 10 thousand km. Reinforced parts last up to 50 thousand km. After two or three years, as a rule, they sag rear springs(2200 rubles each) - front ones from Rexton or rear ones from Chevy Niva are suitable. There were cases of rear axle failure (RUB 68,000) after 50 thousand km. The steering tips are short-lived (RUB 1,300 each). The rack itself is considered unrepairable. But unofficials can tighten the washers and replace the seals for 3,000 rubles. - enough for 20–30 thousand km. And by 50 thousand km the steering shaft driveshaft becomes loose (from 3500 rubles). refused vacuum booster brakes, but after 2009 a valve with a filter was installed in the system, and the problem went away.
Body and it paintwork strong. But on cars produced in 2008–2009, a crack appeared on the left front fender due to weakening of the metal in the welding area with the bracket on which the battery is installed. The folding mechanism for side mirrors often fails (from RUB 7,500). The heated seat heating coil burns out. Approximately once a month, the low beam lamps (60–200 rubles) and dimensions come on.
From debut to restyling
Just two years after the model was released, in 2007, the Koreans modernized the SsangYong Kyron. However, this is not surprising. The debutant's design was perceived as too provocative. On the updated car, three horizontal slits under the headlights were eliminated, and the radiator grille was enlarged and designed in the Mercedes-Benz style. They installed a different bumper. Round foglights gave way to rectangular-oblong ones, and instead rear lights more traditional ones appeared in the form of knightly shields. The interior remained virtually unchanged - only the center console was trimmed with carbon-look inserts. But the range of engines now includes a 2.3 liter petrol four (150 hp) and a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Verdict
editor:− When buying a used Kyron, I want you to get a technically sound and trouble-free copy in the future, since there is a high probability of buying a pig in a poke. You understand - a lottery. Therefore, you need to protect yourself as much as possible from troubles. Why do we recommend full diagnostics. Moreover, you should not contact official service. Statistics show that the most competent SsangYong technicians and diagnosticians work at specialized service stations. And there is no need to be afraid of repairs or replacement of units by the first owner. The main thing is that the work is carried out efficiently, because a shell does not hit the same crater twice.
