Car Test
The drive is tuned explicitly for urban sophistication. The steering is light and precise, making the Actyon Hybrid feel far more agile than its sub- stantial presence suggests. The suspension is soft enough to iron out the creases of neglected council roads, yet it remains stable enough to prevent excessive body roll through the corners. Refinement is the name of the game here, with extensive sound deadening used to isolate the cabin from the chaos of the outside world.
The Actyon Hybrid’s storage capacity remains impressive despite that sloping roofline. A powered tailgate reveals a generous boot that will easily handle the weekly shop or a full set of suitcases. The only minor trade-off is rear visibility, which is slightly compromised by the stylish rake of the rear glass, though the high-definition cameras mitigate this entirely.
The Actyon Hybrid delivers a premium experience without the premium price tag. While the competition might have more established badges, the KGM’s sheer level of standard equipment and head-turning looks make it a formidable contender. Prices start from £37,000 on the road.

KGM Musso Saracen Plus: The Long-Bed Luxury Heavyweight
The KGM Musso Saracen Plus is not your average utilitarian pickup. It is a “Plus-sized” extension of the award-winning Musso platform, engineered specifically to bridge the gap between a rugged site vehicle and a highspec executive cruiser. Designed to offer the largest payload in its class, this vehicle trades a standard-length bed for an extra 31cm of sheer carrying capacity. For the British tradesperson or adventurer who refuses to com- promise on luxury, it represents the ultimate dual-purpose tool.
While the standard Musso is already a capable machine, the Saracen Plus is the long-wheelbase flagship. In the back, the load bed has been

stretched to provide a massive 1.61-metre floor, allowing it to carry over 1,200kg while still maintaining its 3.5-tonne towing rating. This “one- tonne-plus” capability is critical for UK businesses, as it ensures the vehi- cle maintains its commercial vehicle tax status even when fitted with a hard-top canopy.
Up front, the Saracen Plus feels more like a luxury SUV than a pickup. The cabin features Nappa leather upholstery and a 12.3-inch infotainment system with full smartphone integration. Both the front and rear seats are heated - a rare luxury in this segment, and the front pair are ventilated for those balmy British summer days. The build quality is exceptional, with a solid, dampened feel to every switch and dial.
Under the bonnet, the Saracen Plus uses the same dependable 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine found in the Rexton, producing 202bhp and 441Nm of torque. The power is delivered through a robust six-speed automatic gearbox that handles heavy loads with ease. The selectable four-wheel- drive system, complete with a low-range setting, ensures that even the most treacherous muddy fields won’t stop the day’s work.
The drive is tuned for heavy-duty stability. Because of the extended wheel- base, the Saracen Plus feels remarkably planted on the motorway, with less of the “fidget” often associated with empty pickups. The leaf-sprung rear suspension is designed to carry weight, so while it can feel firm when empty, it becomes incredibly smooth once you have a few hundred kilos in the back.
The Musso Saracen Plus delivers a level of versatility that is currently unmatched in the UK market. It is a vehicle that can work a twelve-hour shift on a construction site and then look perfectly at home outside a high- end restaurant in the evening. Prices start from £41,313 on the road.
