Practicality, outstanding fuel economy, and eco-friendly trends are among the activian hybrids
Aug 19, 2025
Hybrid is emerging as a trend in the automobile market recently. In fact, as of the end of June 25, 3.1 million eco-friendly cars were registered, up 359,000 (13.1%) from the end of last year, according to data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. There were 389,000 new registrations for eco-friendly cars, of which hybrids were the highest at 294,000.
Hybrid has excellent fuel efficiency because it has the convenience of internal combustion engine and the eco-friendliness of electric vehicles. In addition, it is in the spotlight as a realistic alternative with eco-friendliness because there is no concern about lack of charging infrastructure or driving distance restrictions. In particular, amid growing interest in SUV hybrids with large indoor spaces and practicality, SUV luxury KGM is leading the market by announcing that it plans to launch seven new eco-friendly vehicles, including SUVs, pickup trucks and multipurpose vehicles (MPVs) by 2030.
The concept of 'Actian Hybrid' is 'Uncharging Electric Vehicle' by applying KGM's next-generation hybrid system, 'Dual Tech Hybrid System'.
By adopting a serial-parallel hybrid structure, driving performance similar to that of an electric vehicle can be experienced centering on a dual motor that simultaneously performs electric driving and battery charging. The hybrid-only dual motor transmission e-DHT can flexibly switch a total of nine driving modes, including EV, HEV, and engine driving, depending on the situation, and drive up to 94% (based on CVS-75) in EV mode when driving in the city, combining quietness and efficiency.
In addition, it is equipped with a 1.83kWh high voltage battery, the largest hybrid model in Korea, to supply power stably while driving and maximize system efficiency. On top of that, 130 kW class large-capacity motors were applied to implement dynamic driving performance close to electric vehicles, and low-voltage batteries were designed to be used semi-permanently by applying BMS-integrated LFP batteries to secure both economic and convenience.
Based on hybrid dual-tech technology, fuel efficiency has also improved significantly. Combined fuel efficiency and urban fuel efficiency are 15.0 km/l and 15.6 km/l based on 20-inch wheels, respectively.
'Actian Hybrid' operates as a single trim (S8) that applies high-end safety and convenience specifications with high customer preference, and the sale price is KRW 36.95 million (individual consumption tax 3.5%, reflecting eco-friendly car tax benefits). While lowering the price burden by raising the price by about 2.7 million won compared to the gasoline model, it has high marketability and reasonable composition at the same time by largely basicizing customer preference specifications.
Based on KGM's design philosophy 'Powered by Toughness', 'Actian Hybrid' has completed a dynamic and sophisticated look suitable for urban SUVs.
The dynamic extension floating roof line and front and rear LED daytime running lights (DRL) are harmoniously applied with signature designs inspired by the dryness of Taegeukgi to add traditional beauty and sophistication. The low and long body, wide ratio, and 20-inch wheels emphasize a strong and stable silhouette.
The exterior color operates six one-tone colors, including latte gray, grand white, iron metal, forest green, dandy blue, and space black, and four two-tone colors, excluding dandy blue and space black. There are three types of interior colors: black, black suede quilting, and camel & beige two-tone interior.
The indoor space provides a comfortable environment for the whole family to enjoy together through a practical space configuration suitable for daily driving. In addition to a generous leg room of 1,050mm in the first row and 939mm in the second row, it has up to 652ℓ of space when the second row seat is unfolded, providing ample living and loading space for family members to move.
KGM is hosting a 'National Summer Test Drive Event' where you can experience the Actian Hybrid. In particular, the newly opened 『Experience Center Busan" in Busan, which is considered a representative marine tourist destination, is also expected to be a special opportunity to travel and test drive with various driving courses.
