The SsangYong Kyron debuted in mid-2005. Work on the Korean SUV started in 2002, when the company was still working with Daimler-Benz. However, at the end of 2004, Sanyeng became part of the Chinese corporation SAIC. Expansion to Europe began in 2006.
Obvious advantages of the model: acceptable basic equipment, a fairly robust construction and a skillful combination of the practicality of a classic SUV with the functionality of an SUV.
And yet, structurally, Kyron is closer to SUVs. The body is fixed on a ladder frame, and the all-wheel drive system has a step-down row. At that time, something similar was offered only Suzuki Grand Vitara.
The design of the model was taken care of by Ken Greenlee, who previously worked for the Australian MG. It turned out well, except for rear lights in the form of a coat of arms. They got rid of unattractive elements in mid-2007 - during restyling. Redesigned front bumper and fog lights. The facelift certainly did the trick.
Since 2006, Sangeng Kyron has been assembled for the Russian market in Naberezhnye Chelny at the Sollers plant. At the end of 2009, the assembly site was moved to Vladivostok - Sollers-Far East. Unfortunately, the reliability of the Far Eastern copies has decreased significantly.
EnginesThe first Kyrons received a 5-cylinder 2.7 XDi turbodiesel with a capacity of 163-176 hp. A little later, versions appeared with a 4-cylinder 2.0 XDi turbodiesel with a return of 136-145 hp. A 150-horsepower aspirated petrol with a volume of 2.3 liters was offered after restyling and only in Russia. It became an alternative to the only 2-liter diesel engine available to us.
All Sang Yong power units are modernized analogues of Mercedes. The only engine that has retained maximum closeness to the original is a 2.3 liter gasoline engine, known from cars with a star as M111.970. All engines have a timing chain type drive.
Diesel units have a characteristic Mercedes drawback - sticking of fuel injectors and glow plugs, often the most distant ones. If you try to unscrew them, they can break off. To extract it, you will have to remove the cylinder head and drill out the remains. To avoid trouble in the future, it is recommended to remove the injectors and glow plugs every 40,000 km and lubricate the seats.
Fuel injectors (from 22,000 rubles) are sensitive to fuel quality. Previously, they served more than 200,000 km. In younger copies, nozzles often have to be changed after 100-150 thousand km. At the same time, glow plugs may also fail (1,000 rubles).
After 50,000 km, interruptions in the operation of the diesel engine are possible due to a clogged EGR valve. Turbo failures occur due to failure of the turbine vacuum modulator. The filter is clogged and should be cleaned or replaced. The turbocharger, as a rule, serves more than 200,000 km. The cost of a new turbine is from 35,000 rubles, a replacement cartridge is from 12,000 rubles.
In older units, after 200-250 thousand km, the likelihood of failure of the timing chain hydraulic tensioner increases. Appears extraneous sound. In freshly assembled cars, the tensioner can fail at a range of 30-100 thousand km.
The gasoline engine is perhaps the most reliable. True, the pump often gives up after 20-30 thousand km. A leak, noise, or pulley play is detected. In the case of other Kyron engines, the pump life exceeds 100,000 km.
After 40-60 thousand km, a noisy roller or a drive belt tensioner damper may require replacement. Another sore gasoline engines– Destruction of an arm of an exhaust system.
In winter, there is an occasional hang-up of revolutions. The disease is caused by the appearance of condensate in intake system and freezing of the throttle assembly. Owners of old Mercedes are well familiar with this feature.
In rare cases, after 100-150 thousand km, a breakdown of the head gasket occurs. Upon opening, a casting defect is found.
Transmission
The first Chirons were aggregated exclusively with 5-speed manual and automatic. Petrol versions were equipped with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. In July 2008, all automatic transmissions gave way to a 6-speed automatic. The 5-speed automatic was left only for the 2.7 XDi.
mechanical box gears - hardy enough, which can not be said about the clutch system. If the disk itself is guaranteed to last more than 100-150 thousand km, then the hydraulic release bearing will not last even 100,000 km. Its cost is about 5,000 rubles, and complete set clutch - more than 16,000 km.
5-speed automatic transmission, perhaps the most reliable of all automatic transmissions. The box was widely used in Mercedes cars and has the nomenclature designation 722.6. Its resource before the first repair is more than 200-250 thousand km. Among the common faults are: oil leakage through the connector, failure of the electrical board and wear of the torque converter.
The 4-speed automatic was developed by the Australian company BTR specifically for the SsangYong back in 1989. He is able to travel more than 150-200 thousand km. Next, you have to change the torque converter and sort out the valve body.
The 6-band machine turned out to be the most vulnerable. He is modern modification 4-speed BTR. Unfortunately, the box plagues with malfunctions after the first 30-60 thousand km. Most often, the automatic machine of more loaded diesel versions suffers. However, there are examples of carefree operation over 200,000 km. And yet, troubles are more common. Main disadvantage– strong shocks during switching. In addition, the box is not tolerant of oil overheating, which negatively affects the longevity of the electrics. Some owners even had to deal with the destruction of the planetary gear bearing. In the case of repairs, you will have to spend about 100,000 rubles.
The only thing that can extend the life of any automatic transmission is regular oil changes. This procedure should be resorted to every 40-60 thousand km.
All-wheel drive system
SsangYong Kyron could be both all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive. The latter option was not officially delivered to Russia.
There are two all-wheel drive systems. First, AWD - with automatic torque distribution, but without a reduction series. Only used in conjunction with the 2.7 XDI and therefore not officially offered.
The second, Par Time, is a rigidly connected front axle with a reduction gear. This scheme was the only one possible on the Russian Chirons.
Hubs - couplings are responsible for connecting the wheels. Management is carried out vacuum system. Connectivity issues can occur due to leaks in the system. In addition, after 80-100 thousand km, the hubs themselves fail. Moisture gets into the system and the clutch rusts.
Often, when using all-wheel drive on difficult off-road, the mounting bracket is destroyed front axle. If there is a machine on board, the defect simultaneously leads to damage to the cooling tubes transmission fluid. The attachment point can be modified by redistributing the load. After prevention, there are no problems.
The transmission of the Korean SUV is quite gentle. With frequent off-road trips, the chain in the transfer case is stretched. The razdatka itself can be capricious due to a broken wiring or corrosion of the contacts of the executive motor connector. Does not like loads and front axle differential.
After 50,000 km, transmission seals may leak. The front left drive oil seal may lose tightness after the first 10,000 km.
Transmission elements require regular maintenance. In addition to the traditional replacement of fluids, it is necessary to inject crosses cardan shaft.
ChassisThe front axle is equipped with independent suspension on double wishbones, and on the back - a continuous bridge. Versions with constant full AWD drive the rear has a multi-link suspension.
The ball bearings of the front axle sometimes give up after 30-60 thousand km. Later, reinforced ball joints were produced, the resource of which increased to 100,000 km. The silent blocks of the front lower arms also fail relatively quickly - at the lower attachment points of the stabilizer struts (after 40-80 thousand km).
Shock absorbers serve more than 100-150 thousand km, but the springs can sag after 20-30 thousand km.
The upper steering rack seal can leak after 50-80 thousand km, and the steering rack often starts knocking after 100,000 km. The cost of a new rail is from 18,000 rubles. After 20-70 thousand km, play is sometimes found in the lower steering shaft. Packing lubricant helps for a while. The shaft has to be changed.
Over time, the parking brake cables turn sour.
BodyPrevious Sang Yong models suffered from excessive corrosion. Kyron, as a rule, does not give such strong reasons for concern. With age, red spots can be found only on the edges of the doors and wings. Surface corrosion is observed on the frame, suspension and transmission elements. Exhaust system parts rust more intensively.
After 30-50 thousand km, the attachment points of the body to the frame can collapse - most often the front ones. In addition, sometimes the front part of the body cracks. The problem is typical for cars that regularly go off-road. The destroyed elements are boiled.
ElectricianOlder copies practically do not suffer from diseases of electronics and control systems. The owners of Russian Kyrons, on the contrary, note the short service life of outdoor lighting lamps. Durability and the clock on the front panel do not differ, which sometimes have to be changed several times.
With age, the contacts of the backlight of the state number rot. In addition, the overrunning clutch of the generator may make noise and fail - from 2,000 rubles.
ConclusionSsangYong Kyron is a versatile and relatively affordable car that can be purchased for 400,000 rubles. However, do not count on carefree operation. And off-road trips significantly reduce the life of the transmission.
Today we will talk about a car produced at one of the factories South Korea— this is the SsangYong Kyron Diesel.
In Russia, the appearance of the Sanyeng Kyron SUV was initially taken with skepticism, they say, not for our roads. After the skeptic was transformed into a genuine interest in a foreign car. A small price, and the technical characteristics of the car turned out to be quite good.
The increased popularity of the "Korean" prompted domestic auto industry to decide to open two SUV assembly plants:
- One plant appeared in Vladivostok;
- The second one is in Naberezhnye Chelny at the Solers plant.
The opening of auto assembly enterprises was the result of the appearance on domestic liquid trading floors of 2 models - a gasoline version and an SUV with a diesel power plant and a turbine air inflation system. Both cars were different. increased power especially diesel. Engine power increased to 141 N.m.
The appearance of SUVs on sale was coldly received by residents of large cities, but the cars received well-deserved recognition from the villagers. In the provinces, motor vehicles have fully revealed their potential. Car enthusiasts adored both models for their ease of maintenance, good power, decent speed on dirt roads.
Structural innovations saved fuel, since there was no differential between the axles. The innovation made it impossible to use on the highway four-wheel drive wheels. The car was dialing cruising speed using only the rear axle.
To this day, the popular model is the SSang Yong Kyron with automatic gear shifting and a 2.0 diesel power plant.
Problems with diesel SanyengNo matter how perfect any technique was, in it the user during operation will find many systems that do not suit him. Shortcomings were also found in Korean SUVs produced in Russia - problems with the Sanyeng Kyron diesel.
Many comments over the years of operation of the car received external parts and assemblies:
- The first thing they noticed was the poor protection of the body from corrosion. The appearance of corrosive chemical reactions is facilitated by a thin paint film that is vulnerable to mechanical stress. The main locations of the appearance of chips are determined. These are thresholds, a cowl and other external planes, curvature. It is noted that after five years of operation, a malfunction of the rear “wiper” appears.
- There were complaints about the windshield with a heater. When even a small pebble hits, stars appear, quickly spreading across the glass in the form of long broken lines.
- On the engine on Internet forums, discussion participants say a lot of good and not entirely positive. Some claim that power point meets all the requirements of SUV owners. Others oppose, noting the identified shortcomings. Named for insufficient operational life of the timing chain. The element is sensitive to engine oil.
They say that the roller that ensures the operation of auxiliary units does not leave the operational process in time. But the drive belt is so durable that it "survives" two terms after replacing the roller.
- It is noted that engines start very hard in cold weather. The installed batteries do not have the necessary power to create a long powerful torque to the crankshaft. In addition, a regular battery loses its resource to zero after three years of use.
- They create problems with a sudden loss of power. Look for the reason in the system, management work turbine compressor. The knot is vulnerable when dirt gets into it. In this case, the modulator is not able to instantly make changes in the mode of transitions. Correct the situation by total cleaning of the module.
- The second reason for the failure of capricious, according to experts, fuel equipment is the use of low-quality diesel fuel. Many rural owners of Sanyeng Kyron are trying to fill the fuel tank with diesel fuel intended for domestic tractors. Such a "selection" of fuel does not bode well. On the contrary, it leads to costly repairs or provokes the failure of the fuel pump. Air getting into fuel equipment make it difficult to start the engine.
The Korean-Russian SUV has a multi-link system in the front. Ball bearings are an unreliable place. It is estimated that after 30 thousand kilometers, big problems begin with the Sanyeng Kyron diesel. Exit the functional mode, both front and rear supports. Experts can answer the question why this happens. But you can guess even now - the car is not adapted to Russian roads by all segmental parts.
Continuous bridge at the back has weak spots associated with springs. After a couple of years, they sag quite a bit. Many motorists adapt the springs used in the Rexton car to Sang Yong Kyron. Choose them for the best rigidity, durability.
Steering systemDynamic stress is experienced by the tips of the steering system. They fail when the car runs 30 thousand kilometers.
The steering rack is more durable during the active operation of the car. "Requests" replacement after 100 thousand kilometers traveled by car. It rarely falls short of such a run, signaling harmony with the appearance of knocks that give off to the steering wheel. Cases of increased backlash in the cardan system, taken for steering rack wear, have been recorded.
ElectricianThe functionality of the electrical supply directly to the vehicle components does not cause any complaints. Handles great.
There are problems in secondary aspects that do not particularly affect the productive operation of components and systems motor vehicle. Premature failures in the operation of the mechanisms that ensure the addition and heating of the mirrors have been noticed. Often the special threads that provide the front seats in the cabin with warmth burn out.
Transmission problemsSince 2005, on liquid market country, the car was supplied with an automatic transmission with 5 speeds. It seemed to the manufacturers that the number of gears was insufficient. After 4 years, there was a replacement for a six-speed. But the replacement revealed flaws. As a result, we wanted the best, but it turned out, as always. With a car run of 120 thousand kilometers, jerks appear, jerking occurs when switching gears. This should alert drivers, since delaying repairs is fraught with subsequent disposal of the unit.
In general, the transmission requires routine maintenance. Change oil regularly. With good maintenance, there will be no questions about the operation of the cardan shaft. The outboard bearing does not fail even with a car run of 150 thousand or more kilometers.
For uninformed drivers it will not be superfluous a reminder that the bearing and cardan shaft must be replaced only together. And it's expensive to replace them.
ConclusionIt should be noted that in Russia Sang Yong Kyron is still the title SUV. He is the best, although there are complaints about him. Motivates the desire of the buyer to purchase a reasonable price and comfortable operation. There are other reasons to consider an SUV, but the above facts are enough to make you choose the Sang Yong Kyron.

INTRODUCTION
Kyron, one of the most popular SUVs in the range Ssang Yong, debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in autumn 2005. The SUV was developed in 30 months and was planned as a successor to the Musso. Since the end of the same year, the production of the model began in Naberezhnye Chelny by Severstal-Avto.
The car is a combination of non-standard design solutions, the latest technical achievements, comfort and safety. Ssang Yong Rexton served as a platform for Kyron, so the car combines excellent cross, economy, spacious and comfortable interior.The design of the car was done by Ken Greenlee, one of the designers who painted Aston Martin Vantage, so the appearance of the car compares favorably with other SUVs and attracts the eye with futurism. The streamlined chrome-plated grille and unusual embossing on the body make the Kyron stand out in city traffic, while the wide wheel arches inspire a feeling of reliability and durability.
Salon is consistent with the appearance of the car. The interior design was created on the principle of "comfort and tranquility" - everything is done to make the driver feel comfortable: all controls and instruments are exactly where they should be, and the center console and instrument panel, made in a very unusual form, allow you to pay more time directly on the road, rather than looking for certain levers and buttons.
The finishing material is of high quality, the seats provide optimal seating geometry and comfort for the driver and passengers. In addition, there are power and heated seats, active headrests and a ten-speaker audio system.
The already large trunk with a flat floor and a comfortable curtain increases significantly if the backrest is folded down. rear seat(you can do it in parts).
Under the hood of Kyron - two turbodiesels with a power system common rail produced under license mercedes benz, with a working volume of 2 and 2.7 liters and a power of 141 and 165 hp, respectively, which guarantees minimal fuel consumption in both urban and combined cycles. Both engines can be equipped with both mechanical and automatic boxes gears.
In 2007, the model was restyled. The appearance of the updated Kyron can be described as calmer and less radical. So, the “heraldic shields” of the lanterns disappeared from the rear of the body, and large signal lights elongated horizontally came in their place. The shape of the fog lights on the front bumper has changed, and the direction indicator in the headlight unit has lost its orange diffuser.
The front bumper received a completely different shape, with a single air intake in the middle and a new false radiator grille built into the top, even more reminiscent of the Mercedes S-class. Gone are the long horizontal slits.
The shape of the hood and tailgate glass has changed slightly, the roof rails have become black, and not silver as before.
However, the main innovation was the appearance of petrol four-cylinder engines of 2.3 and 3.2 liters, also produced by Ssang Yong under license from MercedesBenz. Like diesel power units, they can also be equipped with both a five-speed manual and automatic transmissions.
Plug-in front-wheel drive, a spar frame and an independent torsion bar double wishbone suspension are far from the last advantages of Kyron.
Even in basic configuration The Kyron boasts ABS, dual airbags, climate control, power and heated exterior mirrors. In more expensive trim levels you can also get a leather interior, a rain sensor, an automatic light control system, a system exchange rate stability.
On request, the Kyron can be equipped with the Active Rollover Protection system, which helps to avoid a rollover of the car, as well as Hill Descent Control.
Passive system Kyron safety features include adjustable head restraints, seat belts and airbags, energy-absorbing bumpers, additional protection from side impacts in the doors, constructive solutions that allow the impact energy to be diverted in safe directions, preserving the living space of the cabin as much as possible.
Ssang Yong Kyron is one of the most prominent representatives of the mid-size SUV segment and is perfect choice for modern residents of the metropolis, because in one car the dynamics and controllability of a passenger sedan, the swift design of a sports car are combined, comfortable lounge with excellent ergonomics and all the advantages of an SUV.

SPECIAL TOOLS
DIESEL ENGINES
Quite often you can see cars on our roads brand Ssangyong Kyron. They look attractive and immediately attract attention. Many motorists when buying a car are increasingly giving preference to this particular brand. And those who have not purchased, but are only going to, are trying to find out as complete and comprehensive information as possible about Sang Yong Kyron cars: reviews of their owners, advantages and disadvantages, ease of maintenance and repair. And this is not surprising, because Korean cars have established themselves as comfortable and reliable, and most importantly, not prohibitively expensive. Thus, motorists have an alternative between cheap, but weak in all respects, the Chinese and expensive and high-quality Japanese (we will not touch on the European and American auto industry in this topic).
"Cairon". Start"SangYong Kyron" is one of the very popular crossovers in the SsangYong lineup. His debut took place in the fall of 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Deliveries of the model to the territory of the CIS began in the spring of 2006. The car brought to light an amazing hybrid of unusual design solutions and classic SUV design: the latest technical achievements, coupled with an unsurpassed level of convenience and safety of operation in all kinds of road conditions. The designers took as a basis the already tested and positively proven platform from Rexton. The car turned out just right: the five-door "Sang Yong Chiron" combined high off-road performance, moderate fuel consumption, as well as convenience, functionality and spaciousness of the cabin.
Appearance
Leading car designer Ken Greenlee emphasized and singled out this model among other SUVs, attracted the attention of the automotive community with the futuristic appearance of his offspring.
From the front, "Kyron" looks original and, in general, very modern. A streamlined radiator grille shining with chrome and non-standard stamping elements on the body draw attention to the car, highlighting it in city traffic, and impressive wheel arches give the car solidity and respectability.
Interesting not only from the outside
The interior of the car is quite a match for the exterior. The salon, executed in the same style, will pleasantly surprise you with a variety of interesting solutions. As the designers themselves assure, the interior of the car is made according to the principle of "calmness and comfort". And indeed, both the driver and passengers feel comfortable and comfortable in the cabin. That is why the center console and dashboard are made in an unusual shape, and the interior is ergonomic and provides the most comfortable conditions for the driver and passengers to sit. interior trim in basic version Made from high quality materials that are resistant to wear and dirt.
The heart is a fiery motor
Most often, the hood of the Ssangyong Kyron hides a two-liter turbocharged diesel power unit, which produces 141 hp. Its Cammon Rail power system is guaranteed to provide the lowest diesel fuel consumption not only in mixed, but also in urban traffic cycles. The manufacturer offers motorists a choice of cars with both automatic and manual transmissions. Despite the fact that Sang Yong Kyron exists in twenty (!) modifications, cars with a 4x2 formula and a 2.7-liter diesel engine are not common in the CIS countries.
In addition to diesels, the range of engines is represented by a 2.3-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 150 hp, which meets the highest standards. The Sang Yong Chiron engine, a classic in-line four made under license from Mercedes-Benz, guarantees the well-known reliability of the car, less exposure to vibration and longer engine life than V-shaped counterparts.
TransmissionAs you already understood, the SangYong Kyron engine is distinguished by its manufacturability and reliability. To match him and the checkpoint. The motors are equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission (also licensed " Mercedes Benz"), or a 6-band T-tronic automatic transmission with the option of shifting gears in manual mode.
Additional optionsEven the machine of basic completeness or, as they say, "in stock", has a wide range of all kinds of options and bells and whistles. The simplest modification is equipped with anti-lock brakes (ABS), power windows, electrically adjustable mirrors. In addition, it will be equipped with a climate control system and 2 airbags.
And if you fork out for the richest equipment, then to all of the above, a genuine leather interior, a rain sensor, automatic system light control, stability control and electrically adjustable front seats.
Among other things, "SangYong Kyron" can be additionally equipped with the Active Rollover Protection system, which helps prevent the vehicle from rolling over, as well as the Hill Descent Control system for descending from large slopes. Since this is still a crossover, and not a super all-terrain vehicle, there are design limitations on cross-country ability, namely low ground clearance (the manufacturer claims 210 mm under the front axle and 199 mm at the rear), and there is also no engine and gearbox protection.
The main distinguishing feature of this car from other similar crossovers from other manufacturers is its frame layout. That is, the load from all components and assemblies is carried not by a flimsy stamped body, but by a full-fledged steel backbone, which will not be broken by the difficult situations of our roads, often similar to combat conditions.

According to the reviews of car owners, it is quite difficult to judge the quality and driving characteristics of the car, especially if the reviews are studied on the Internet. This misfortune did not bypass Chiron Sang Yong, the technical characteristics of which, in principle, correspond to the price and quality of this class of cars. However, not all buyers, and even more so Internet users, understand the difference between diesel and gasoline engines (except that some "eat" diesel fuel, while others - gasoline).
For drivers who switched to "Sang Yong Kyron" - diesel with petrol car of the same displacement, acceleration with a sharp indentation of the gas pedal will seem weak, but the "tractor" traction on low revs when driving off-road. Drivers who have changed diesel engine on gasoline, you will be pleasantly surprised by the dynamics of acceleration on straight sections of the track.
In general, most often the complaints of the owners regarding diesel cars"Sang Yong Kyron", the characteristics of which are in no way inferior to gasoline ones, come down to problems with the fuel system. Tellingly, those who pay little attention to what exactly is poured into the fuel tank complain.
In addition, quite often they speak badly about cars assembled in Russian Federation and not in Korea.
Someone is complaining about weak suspension, forgetting that this crossover in most cases drives on roads (not always good, but, nevertheless, roads), and not on swamps, a tractor track that has become muddy in the autumn-spring thaw in the Central Black Earth Region or deep snowy virgin lands.
Thus, in conclusion, we can say that Chiron has its own niche for use, and if you do not demand the impossible from it, then it has the right to a place in your garage.
The Korean auto industry has always been associated with inexpensive small cars. However, in this country they also produce good crossovers. So, one of them is Ssangyong Kyron. This is a medium size frame SUV, mass-produced in the period from 2005 to 2015. In addition to Korea, these cars are assembled in Russia, Ukraine, and also in Kazakhstan. What is a diesel Sanyeng Kyron? Reviews, car features and specifications - further in our article.
DesignThe appearance of the car is different from Japanese and European SUVs. So, in front of the car received an oval grille and a relief bumper with round fog lights on the sides. The hood exactly follows the lines of the head optics. side mirrors painted in body color and in some trim levels are equipped with turn signals. On the roof - the usual roof rails.
What do the owners say about the quality of the metal and paintwork? According to reviews, Ssangyong Kyron is well protected from corrosion. Chipped paintwork is a rarity for a Korean SUV. But even if there is deep damage rust does not form on bare metal.
Dimensions, ground clearanceThe car belongs to the SUV class and has the following dimensions. The length of the body is 4.66 meters, width - 1.88, height - 1.75 meters. The wheelbase is 2740 mm. At the same time, the ground clearance is impressive - about twenty centimeters. The car is distinguished by short overhangs and a not too long base, and therefore feels great off-road, reviews say. But we will talk about the cross-country ability of this SUV a little later, but for now let's move to the salon.
car interiorThe interior of the Korean SUV looks simple, but it does not cause negative emotions. A big plus is the availability of space. It grabs both front and rear. It can really accommodate up to five people. Seat adjustment is not only in the front. The rear sofa can also be customized "for yourself." The seats themselves are soft and comfortable - reviews say.
The center console is slightly tilted towards the driver. Here is a simple radio, a climate control unit, a pair of air vents and a rack with additional control buttons. All elements are placed unusually, but you can get used to it. Steering wheel- four-spoke, covered with leather. Available standard set buttons. The steering wheel has a comfortable grip and can be tilted.
The reviews also note good level crossover equipment. So, the diesel Sanyeng-Kyron already has climate control in the basic configuration, power windows and mirrors, good acoustics and heated front seats.
The trunk is designed for 625 liters of luggage. Under the floor there are boxes for tools. Also in the trunk is protective mesh and a 12 volt electrical outlet. The seat backs fold down. As a result, a cargo area with a volume of more than two thousand liters is formed.
SpecificationsFor this vehicle two diesel engines. Both are equipped with a turbine and differ direct injection fuel. So, base motor with a volume of two liters, it develops 140 horsepower. Diesel Sanyeng-Kyron for 2 liters develops 310 Nm of torque. In more expensive trim levels, a 2.7-liter engine is available. It develops 165 power forces. Torque - 50 Nm more than the previous one.
According to reviews, the Sanyeng Kyron diesel engine is quite economical. So, on the highway, the car spends no more than seven liters on a 165-horsepower engine (the optimal speed limit is from 100 to 110 kilometers per hour). In the city, the car consumes from 9 to 10 liters of fuel.
About engine reliabilityBoth engines were manufactured under license from Mercedes-Benz. In general, malfunctions in the Sanyeng-Kyron diesel engine rarely occur. But there are also childhood diseases. So, it is worth noting the timing mechanism. Sanyeng Kyron (diesel) requires replacement of the hydraulic chain tensioner every 60 thousand kilometers. It is also difficult to start a diesel engine in cold weather. Without additional heating at -25 degrees, it is impossible to start the diesel Sanyeng Kyron. In addition, the car has a weak battery. A 90 Ah battery is installed here from the factory. Regular glow plugs can stick, because of which they have to be literally torn out of the block.
As for the turbine, its resource is more than 150 thousand kilometers. The turbine is reliable, but it does not like long and prolonged loads.
TransmissionAs for the transmission, a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission is provided for the Korean SUV. The diesel "Sanjeng-Kyron" can go both with rear-wheel drive and with plug-in all-wheel drive according to the "Part Time" system ( center differential absent).
Owners are faced with the failure of the electronic control unit of the automatic and transfer case. The cost of the issue is 18 and 12 thousand rubles, respectively. Owners also complain about the costly oil change for automatic transmissions. Over time, there is an imbalance of the propeller shaft. This can jam outboard bearing. The front hubs also fail to work. The owners are advised to install more reliable ones from the Musso company. A manual transmission is more reliable than an automatic, but also needs maintenance. The oil in it changes at least once every 100 thousand kilometers. You also need to monitor the condition of the seals and change them in time.
ChassisThe car has a front independent suspension. Behind - dependent, spring. Brake system - disk. The brakes on the front wheels are ventilated.
Test DriveHow does the diesel Sanyeng-Kyron behave on the go? As noted by the reviews, the characteristics of the suspension are not intended for our roads. When hitting a hole, there is a noticeable push and knock of the suspension. But I must say that the diesel engine has good acceleration dynamics. The car briskly picks up speed from a traffic light and slows down smoothly, without jerking. Management is not bad, and there is no difference between rear and all-wheel drive (except for cross-country characteristics). Rulitsya it is the same on any drive. But what this car lacks is rear parking sensors. It's not even available as an option. A rear glass very small, and sometimes you have to park at random.
Out of town, the car behaves confidently. It enters turns without roll and easily accelerates to top speed at 167 kilometers per hour. However optimal speed- up to 110. For more high speeds the car has to be constantly monitored - it is slightly blown off the road. Also at speed there is noise from the side mirrors and a whistle in the bottom area.
Sanyeng Kyron off-roadAccording to reviews, off-road, this car behaves great. The car confidently overcomes steep sandy slopes and hills. Compared to competitors, Sanyeng-Kyron shows excellent result. Short overhangs and high ground clearance allow the car to get where the rest will sit on the "belly". In addition, the standard machine is equipped with wide 255 tires with 18-inch wheels. The all-wheel drive version deserves special attention. Sanyeng-Kyron is really capable of kneading mud and getting out of any trap.
Please note that, according to the instruction manual, driving a car on dry asphalt with a front-wheel drive connected may result in a transmission malfunction. Yes, out of order transfer case. And the cost of its repair can reach up to 60 thousand rubles. Therefore, all-wheel drive should only be used when absolutely necessary.
ConclusionSo, we found out what is korean SUV Sanyeng Kyron. In general, this is a good universal car. This machine has not too big sizes, can be operated around the city, and on weekends you can safely go on it with the whole family to nature. Diesel Sanyeng Kyron is very economical. But if you want to spend less money on maintenance, you should take the version with five-speed mechanics.
