Koelliker UK provides SsangYong to BEN

The events team at BEN, the Automotive Industry Charity, were delighted to be offered the latest model of the SsangYong Kyron 2.0 EX Auto by Koelliker UK. The Kyron will be used by the team for travelling to and from the many events and exhibitions which they attend each year. The Kyron is particularly useful because of its large luggage capacity which is a necessity for all the equipment needed at each event.

There are two Kyron EX models, both with part-time four wheel drive and a choice of manual or auto transmission. EX models gain rear parking sensors, electric folding door mirrors, larger alloy wheels, side air bags, leather upholstery and a Kenwood touch screen audio and navigation system. The Kyron starts at just £14,995 alongside the Rexton and Rodius model lines.

On receiving the car, Laura Williams, Sales Events Executive, thanked Paul Williams, Koelliker’s Managing Dierctor, commenting, “I really like the Kyron. It is very easy to drive and it is perfect for our work.” Charles Davis, Director of Fundraising and Communications, at BEN added, “We are very grateful to Koelliker for supporting us in this way and it is comforting to know that this is an ongoing arrangement as this vehicle will be replaced after 20,000 miles. My events team does just under 40,000 miles a year raising very important income for BEN and without a reliable vehicle they would be unable to do this.”
