Ssangyong’s new Korando is 60 years in the making

SsangYong Ireland has launched its all-new Korando, the fourth generation to carry the badge. It is now on sale, with an all-electric EV based model due to follow shortly.

The Korando SUV has been completely transformed with a new contemporary exterior design, a refined, premium quality and spacious interior, enhanced driver assistance and safety systems, plus state-of-the-art connectivity.

Designed with young families seeking an active lifestyle as its target audience, the new Korando SUV will appeal to those requiring a car that can handle the rough and tumble of family life, with plenty of interior space for growing children, and a generous boot space for all their leisure equipment and daily needs.

“This new Korando is further proof of the quantum change in direction that SsangYong has embarked on, and exemplifies this through contemporary design, state-of-the-art technology, the latest in safety, and new power options which will soon include electrification,” said John McKenna, Country Manager, SsangYong Ireland.

“This revolution was first evident in Tivoli, followed by XLV, Rexton and then in the Musso and Musso Grand Pick-up, and at each launch the media commented positively on the remarkable step improvement the brand was making.

“Now SsangYong is going even further, with an all-new product which will compete head-on with anything currently available in the mainstream SUV C-segment, but will surpass them all on value,” he said.

Longer, wider, lower and with a longer wheelbase than the car it replaces, the new Korando measures 4,450mm in length, 1,870mm in width, 1,620mm in height, and with a long wheelbase for increased ride comfort of 2,675mm.

Luggage capacity ranges from 551 litres with all seats in position, up to a huge 1,248 litres with the rear seats folded.
