Poised to go on sale in the global and European market towards to end of 2019, the new Korando is proof of the change in direction set about by SsangYong, as they invest further in contemporary design, state-of-the-art technology, safety and a variety of power options.

The first evidence of this company shift was with the release of the Tivoli, followed by the XLV, Rexton, Musso and Musso Grand which all underwent a series of improvements. The Korando which had been marked as the next vehicle for release, underwent a rigorous physical and philosophical redesign an effort to adhere to the company’s change in direction.

Through the implementation of this new Korando to the global market, SsangYong aim to establish themselves firmly within the mainstream of SUV C-segment vehicles, promising an option that readily surpasses competition on value and style.

The new Korando is a vehicle of form and function, where contemporary style meets pure practicality. The car itself sports a new-look, throughout which has been designed to maximize the car’s robust character with a distinctive new grille and headlight treatment at the front. Equipped with this all new distinctive external style is a longer, wider and lower wheelbase than previous models.

By carefully oriented solely itself around the needs of the driver’s needs, the interior high-tech premium feel is met with a spacious area, better than many of its nearest competitors, and appealing to those requiring a car that can handle the rough and tumble of family life. Also equipped with a generous boot space, ensuring space for all leisure equipment and any daily needs.

Thanks to a comprehensive suite of passive and active aids including all the latest features technology can provide, and with multiple airbags including a driver’s knee airbag, the Korando has achieved one of the safest cars in its segment with the Euro NCAP 5 star rating officially. The advanced driver assistance and safety systems featured on Korando include advanced emergency braking system (AEBS) supplemented with a camera and radar, lane keep assist, vehicle ahead moving alert, safe distance and driver alerts, intelligent and adaptive cruise control and high beam assistance.
