The SsangYong Kyron is a mid-size SUV built by the SsangYong Motor Company. It has a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine and was designed by MG's Ken Greenly. In 2007, the Kyron received a facelift.[1] The name of the car is an inaccurate portmanteu made combining the pronounced sound of the mathematical symbol chi (/ˈkaɪ/) and the word run, which is intended to mean "infinite run."[2]
Engines
The XDi270 diesel engine is available on the Kyron increasing the performance to 121 kW (162 hp)/340 N⋅m (250 lb⋅ft). Both the XDi200 and XDi270 uses the 3rd-generation Common Rail technology.The direct injection system slightly boosts the power and fuel efficiency. The new third generation ECU is operating on 32-bit platform rather than the 16-bit found on the previous 2 generations of common-rail technology. There is also 3.2 MPI engine available reaching up to 162 KW - 220 hp. The transmission on all models is Mercedes Benz 5G-Tronic model W722-6 5 speed.
A hybrid model was also due to be released[3][4] using the same system as the C200 Eco.
Motorsport
In the 2009 Dakar Rally, Isidre Esteve Pujol and team mate Eric Auge Medina came 1st in a Kyron 2.7DCI.[5]
