Next month SsangYong NZ is releasing a new version of the Actyon Sports Ute and calling it the Actyon WorkMate – a 4x4 diesel 6 speed manual, designed to cater for tradesmen and farmers, priced at just $32,990.
The Actyon WorkMate has the same great styling, new E-xdi turbo diesel engine producing exceptional power and economy and comfortable cabin minus a few luxuries from the Acyton Sport.
SsangYong NZ’s Managing Director Deon Cooper says the WorkMate is great value for money. “Sir Colin has been driving our Actyon Sport Ute SPR and loves it. It was his suggestion to develop a model for the working man so we consulted with Korean manufacturers to develop the WorkMate – a cheaper version of the Actyon Sport for your typical kiwi farmer or tradesmen.”
“It’s a tough, quality ute and will save our customers thousands on comparable models in the marketplace giving them more to spend on loading the back of their WorkMate with a great kiwi lifestyle!” he said.
The Actyon Sport includes alloys, heated seats, leather wrap steering wheel, knob headlamp adjust, ipod jack, Bluetooth and ESP – these extras have been taken out of the WorkMate to bring it down in price. However, the WorkMate still has other features of the Actyon Sport including driver and passenger airbags, ABS and four wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, CD player, alarm and immobilizer, central locking and power operated windows and mirrors. Plus when buying the WorkMate you will get a FREE deck liner all for a very affordable $32,990 + orc.
The WorkMate is perfect for company staff members. It’s super economical and will satisfy the strictest sustainability policy with carbon emissions from the engine the lowest in the 4x4 double cab class at 199gm/km. It’s available in two stylish colours – Fine Silver and Grand White and the full range of SsangYong Factory Accessories can be purchased including towbars, covers, canopies, nudge bars and more. The WorkMate comes with SsangYong’s standard three year / 100,000km warranty and 24hr roadside assistance for first three years of ownership.
