The SsangYong Korando, produced from 1996 to 2006, was a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) that marked a significant turning point for the South Korean automaker. The first generation Korando, launched in 1983, had been a tough and utilitarian vehicle, primarily aimed at the domestic market. However, the second generation, launched in 1996, was a more refined and modern SUV designed to appeal to a broader international audience. It featured a more stylish and aerodynamic design, a comfortable interior, and a range of engine options, including gasoline and diesel variants. The Korando also offered a choice of body styles: a standard five-door wagon, a three-door short-wheelbase version, and a pickup truck variant. Despite its popularity in South Korea, the Korando struggled to gain traction in international markets, partly due to limited availability and competing models from established brands. The SsangYong Korando was powered by a variety of engines, including a 2.0-liter petrol engine, a 2.3-liter diesel engine, and a 2.9-liter diesel engine. All engines were mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle offered a choice of rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive systems, depending on the model and configuration. The Korando was equipped with a range of features, including power steering, power windows, central locking, and air conditioning. Some models also featured additional amenities like ABS, airbags, and a CD player. Although the Korando was discontinued in 2006, it left a legacy as a rugged and reliable SUV that paved the way for a generation of SsangYong vehicles.
