The SsangYong Kyron is a mid-size SUV built by the SsangYong Motor Company. It had a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine and was designed by Ken Greenley. It received a facelift in 2007.[1] The name of the car is an inaccurate portmanteau made combining the pronounced sound of the mathematical symbol chi (Template:IPAc-en) 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 Script error: No such module "convert"./Script error: No such module "convert".. 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.
