SsangYong UK model line-up
Korando – Designed for Europe in Italy by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Ital Design, the new SsangYong Korando offers a highly contemporary look.
Powered by a Euro 5 2.0 litre diesel engine delivering excellent fuel economy and impressive 157g/km CO2* emissions, this brand new 149PS* diesel engine makes Korando one of the most powerful in its class. With the choice of two wheel drive or four wheel drive and a full two tonne towing capacity, Korando offers the practicality of a 4×4/SUV, the accessibility of a family hatchback, and the capability to go from muddy campsite to urban school run.
SsangYong’s hallmark competitive pricing and comprehensive specification pitches the all new Korando against competitors from brands such as Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi and Nissan.
There are six models available, with the option of 6 speed manual, 6 speed automatic and a choice of trim levels – S, SX, ES and EX.
With its comprehensive warranty and low running costs, the Korando also sets a new benchmark of affordability in the rapidly growing compact crossover segment.
Prices start from £16,995.
* – S & SX models
Korando Sports pick-up – Korando Sports brings a new level of refinement to the market place, blending the suspension, engine and cabin finesse of a passenger car, the silhouette, space and seating for five that’s typical of a double cab, and the rugged workmanlike ability of a commercial pick-up.
This all new vehicle will appeal to those who need a working vehicle, the practicality of four wheel drive, the towing capability to haul up to 2.3 tonnes yet also the appointments of a family car. Whether towing a work trailer or horsebox, ferrying the crew to site or the children to school, Korando Sports will meet a range of different demands.
Priced keenly from just £18,295 (incl VAT) the car is comprehensively equipped so you not only get a lot of vehicle for the money, but also a 5 year limitless mileage warranty.
There are two models from launch. The SX is extremely well appointed and comes equipped with 16” alloy wheels, tinted glass, air conditioning, leather covered steering wheel, remote central locking, Kenwood MP3 CD & RDS radio with a USB & auxiliary port and Bluetooth connectivity. The EX features the luxury touch of leather upholstery with heated front seats, powered driver’s seat, heated, electrically adjustable and power folding door mirrors and rear parking sensors. 6 speed automatic transmission with cruise control is also available as an option.
Offering both performance and economy – up to 37.7 mpg on the Combined Cycle, Korando Sports is powered by SsangYong’s latest e-XDi diesel engine. This new Euro 5, 2 litre engine provides maximum power of 155PS and peak torque of 360Nm delivered between 1,500rpm and 2,800rpm providing ample performance both on and off road, whatever the task.
And unlike other pick-ups where the word ‘truck’ belies their more dated mechanical origins by utilising leaf springs, the SsangYong Korando Sports features a live rear axle supported by sophisticated five link suspension with coil springs to give a comfortable, car like ride.
