SSANGYONG KYRON Rare
As of 2026 Q1, 280 SSANGYONG KYRONs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 1,100 in 2014 Q3 — only 25% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 820 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 61 a year (21.9% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2029 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 75% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the KYRON
The SsangYong Kyron is a mid-size SUV built by the SsangYong Motor Company. It had a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine and was designed by Ken Greenley. It received a facelift in 2007. The name of the car is an inaccurate portmanteau made combining the pronounced sound of the mathematical symbol chi () and the word run, which is intended to mean "infinite run."
