Expected to be presented in 2018, the new kid on the block might not even keep the name of its predecessor. According to the most recent rumors, Q200 is its codename, and its main rivals are the likes of the Mitsubishi L200, Nissan NP300 Navara, and the T6 Ford Ranger.

This early test mule the carparazzi snapped testing in the snow is a glimpse of what to expect. Compared to the Actyon Sports, it boasts longer doors and a longer wheelbase. Elements such as the taillights and rear bumper are lifted from the current 1-ton pickup, but the unique headlight design and the curvature of the A-pillar are clues that confirm this is an all-new model.


Hearsay also suggests the successor of the Actyon Sports will pack a 178 PS and 400 Nm 2.2-liter turbo diesel and a six-speed manual transmission. An automatic box could make the cut as well, but the number of gears depends on what the all-new-for-2017 Rexton has in store for the SsangYong brand. A selectable four-wheel-drive system and a locking differential are on the menu as well, as is a 360-degree camera system and blind spot monitoring.
