The base KGM Actyon K50 is well specified and includes climate control air conditioning, satellite navigation, twin 12.3-inch displays for the electronic instrumentation and central touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, heated/powered folding mirrors, a reverse camera and parking sensors all around. Plus, you’ll find advanced driver-assist safety, such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane-support systems and adaptive cruise control.

But leather and heated outboard seating front and back, powered and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, rear privacy glass, automatic walkaway locking, a powered tailgate with motion sensors and 20-inch alloys are unusual in an entry-level grade.

Moving up to the Actyon K60 flagship ushers in a panoramic sunroof with a solid shade, a 360-degree camera, rear door blinds and a wireless phone charger.

The KGM Actyon’s interior is an impressive, thoughtfully engineered and inviting place, with a sense of airiness as well as lots of space. Premium finishes and thoughtful design help make this a good place to travel in. The sporty front seats are well padded for maximum comfort and support, ahead of a steering wheel that’s thick-rimmed and multi-adjustable. The result is a great driving position and fine forward vision.

The dash is dominated by twin 12.3-inch displays that make up the digital instrumentation and centre multimedia touchscreen. While no buttons are present, KGM has introduced shortcuts to key functions to aid operation and minimise distraction. It’s all pretty intuitive. Additionally, the Actyon scores points for its effective climate control, endless storage areas, useful twin USB-C ports, ambient interior lighting and solid build quality.

The KGM Actyon is powered by a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, direct-injection, turbo-petrol engine, making 120kW of power at 5400rpm and 280Nm of torque between 1500-4000rpm.

It drives the front wheels via a six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.

The KGM Actyon is a five-seater mid-sized SUV.

Whether we’re talking about the base K50 or better-equipped K60 grades, the seat upholstery is leather-faced, while the seats themselves are all heated except for the middle-rear position. Additionally, the front seats are electrically-adjustable, ventilated and feature a lumbar-support function.

The rear bench, meanwhile, is fixed at the base but has a 60/40-split backrest, which also reclines about 36 degrees, according to KGM. And there is a folding centre armrest with cupholders.

The KGM Actyon can accelerate from standstill to 100km/h (0-100km/h) in around 9.6 seconds, on the way to a top speed of about 190km/h.

The KGM Actyon has an official combined cycle (urban/extra-urban) average consumption figure of 7.6L/100km and CO2 emissions rating of 176g/km. It is recommended that its 50-litre fuel tank is filled with 95 RON premium unleaded petrol, for a total range of about 655km.
