This year at Fieldays, SsangYong NZ will be doubling their site for maximum exposure at Australasia’s largest farming and agricultural event and are hoping for record sales.


SsangYong NZ is back in Section I with a massive site this year I2 – I4.  The Traeger Woodpellet BBQ will be cooking up a storm for SsangYong customers to enjoy and SsangYong Brand Ambassador Sir Colin ‘PineTree’ Meads will be there on opening day chatting to customers and talking about his SsangYong Actyon Sports ute.  This year all visitors to the SsangYong site will go into a prize draw to win a Traeger Woodpellet BBQ.

SsangYong NZ General Manager Deon Cooper says the Korean Car Manufacturer saw record sales of 69 vehicles last June and this year the team are hoping to smash that record.  “June is our biggest month with Fieldays and this year we have the WorkMate on offer so we are hoping for record sales!”

On display at Fieldays, where it can’t be missed on top of a container, is the Actyon WorkMate  – a 4x4 diesel, six speed manual ute at a special Fieldays price of $28,686 + gst & orc.

The WorkMate has been designed with the typical kiwi farmer and tradesman in mind.  The tough-looking ute has a new E-xdi turbo diesel engine producing exceptional power and economy and features 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 at Fieldays you will get a FREE deck liner thrown in.

“This SsangYong ute is super practical - for the family and the farm,” said Sir Colin Meads.  “I wish I had one of these years ago when I was farming.  It’s a bloody bargain too at just over $28k plus gst!”

SsangYong General Manager Deon Cooper says the Actyon WorkMate will save SsangYong customers thousands on comparable models in the market and is perfect for staff members as it is cheap to buy, cheap to run and will satisfy the strictest sustainability policy with the lowest level of carbon emissions it it’s class.  The WorkMate is available in two 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.

SsangYong are also running some great specials with their popular SUVS.  The Rexton, a 7 seater with 3,200kg towing capacity, will start from $34,969 + gst & orc.  The award winning Korando, with ESP and Bluetooth, will start from an exceptionally low $27,969 + gst & orc.  All vehicles come with SsangYong’s standard three year / 100,000km warranty and 24hr roadside assistance for first three years of ownership.

“If you’re visiting Fieldays come in and say hi,” said Mr Cooper.  “Have a bit of lunch, enter our prize draw, chat to Colin about our various models and test drive your favourite SsangYong.”
