The SsangYong Korando, a rugged and capable SUV, first saw the light of day in 1983. This model, particularly the 1997 to 2000 iteration, represents a significant chapter in the Korando's history. These years mark the introduction of a new generation of the Korando, the second, featuring a more modern and refined design than its predecessor. The 1997-2000 Korando was not simply a facelift; it boasted a new chassis, built specifically for a more comfortable and refined ride, a change from the rudimentary earlier model. The vehicle's engine options remained largely unchanged, offering both petrol and diesel options, catering to diverse driving needs and preferences. The 1997-2000 Korando was offered with a range of engines, including the 2.3-liter petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and the 2.3-liter diesel engine, available with both 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission options.

This generation of the Korando, despite its modernization, maintained its rugged and off-road capable nature. It retained the classic ladder-frame construction, ensuring strength for venturing into challenging terrain. The 1997-2000 Korando's body-on-frame design, a feature carried over from its predecessor, made it a robust and reliable choice for various uses. The Korando's traditional, truck-like chassis, combined with its four-wheel-drive capability, allowed it to handle rough conditions without breaking a sweat. It was a popular choice for those seeking a dependable vehicle for both everyday commuting and adventurous off-roading. It was a vehicle that stood out in a sea of more generic SUVs, offering a unique blend of capability, durability, and affordability.
