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 MG's . It received a facelift in 2007.[2] The name of the car is an inaccurate portmanteau made combining the pronounced sound of the mathematical symbol chi (/ˈkaɪ/) and the word run, which is intended to mean "infinite run."[3]

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[4][5] using the same system as the C200 Eco.
