The 6 Speed AT model was launch at Singapore recently, & all Musso Sports owner were invited to test drive.
Friendly speaking, other then the Engine is great, the rest are fall from Musso Sports!
- the price is S$76,888, with Hardtop & that’s all (not attractive compare to other brand)
- front cabin become smaller, rear seat just like normal Bus Seat
- rear seat leg space become smaller
- front look very funny
- rear pumper basically just a piece of plastic

figo, lets say we “forget” about the F-150, Ram or Dakota, how about Tundra vs. Ridgeline?

Conclusion.

The sale of this car depend on the pricing package. They should price it 88K OTR(A) with flip cover at the back(as per the photo) + 3 years free maintenance to boost the confidence on Ssangyong’ brand name.

Hope Ssangyong able to provide a “surprise” package to the consumer like what the Honda did to their “city” in 2003 whereby they price it below 78K + maintenance free for 2 years.

Cheers.

Very beautiful car but very sad in term of pricing which is not competitive enough to complete with the Mit Triton and Hilux. Their previous auto cost RM 94++ without the back flip which is on high side. After the canopy, the cost hitting 100K

As for suggestion, they should improve the following in order to be the top seller in Malaysia. Otherwise, just another truck that made up the numbers.

1) They should price the auto below RM 90K(OTR) + the flip cover at the back. Otherwise, the owner needs to put another 5K for canopy.

2) Provide 3 years maintenance free package like Mit triton. As I am aware, the 1st batch of triton comes without the maintenance free package and they keep improving with the offer + laptop computer. Why the Ssangyong still sleeping or are they satisfy with their sales? (I hardly see any Actyon on the road, rare species). They need to convince the buyer with their product with maintenance free package like triton.

3) Improve the back area due to squareness and did not match the round â€œSharkâ€ head.

4) Improve the leg room at the back. Shorter than triton by 2â€.

5) To be innovative and the 1st in pick up truck, they should design 2 and the half cap truck and reduce the cargo space by half and the back seat should be able to slide 450mm(like latio sport) backward to accommodate luggage and no canopy is required.

Anyway, hope they are listening to constructive comments instead of providing high technology (6 speeds) without any proven record. In Malaysia, cars are expensive and those under the pick up truck want reliability instead of technology. This has proven why Toyota always outdone the Honda in term of sale even though Honda always emphasize on Technology.(5 speed auto for civic and 2.0 accord against the 4 speed altis and 2.0 camry)

Cheers.
