The 1997-2000 SsangYong Korando was the second generation of the Korean automaker's popular SUV, following the original model produced between 1983 and 1993. The Korando, which stands for "Korea Can Do," was designed as a rugged and versatile vehicle to compete with established players like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Jeep Cherokee. While sharing its platform with the Daewoo Musso, the Korando distinguished itself with a more traditional body-on-frame construction, providing greater off-road capability and load-carrying potential. Powering the Korando was a 2.3-liter Mercedes-Benz-sourced four-cylinder diesel engine, known for its reliability and fuel efficiency. This engine was offered with a choice of a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission, allowing for a variety of driving styles and preferences.

The 1997-2000 Korando was a solid performer, offering a blend of practicality and affordability. Its spacious cabin provided comfortable seating for five passengers, while its cargo area offered ample room for luggage and gear. The vehicle's high ground clearance and four-wheel drive system ensured confident off-road performance, making it suitable for tackling challenging terrain. However, the Korando faced challenges in the competitive SUV market, struggling to achieve mainstream recognition due to the lack of modern features and a somewhat dated design. Nevertheless, its durability and utility made it a popular choice for fleet buyers and those seeking a reliable and rugged vehicle. The 1997-2000 SsangYong Korando remains a testament to the brand's early commitment to designing and building practical and capable vehicles, even as the brand evolved to become a more prominent player in the global automotive landscape.
