The SsangYong Korando, a rugged and versatile SUV, saw its second generation debut in 1996 with a model year of 1997. This iteration marked a significant departure from the first-generation model, adopting a more modern and refined design. The Korando's boxy yet functional exterior was characterized by its upright stance, large windows for excellent visibility, and a spacious interior that prioritized practicality. Under the hood, it was powered by a 2.3-liter gasoline engine, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, offering a blend of off-road capability and everyday usability. This combination made it a popular choice for both urban and rural environments. Its rugged construction, high ground clearance, and four-wheel drive system made it suitable for challenging terrain, while its comfortable cabin and decent fuel economy appealed to drivers seeking a balance between practicality and affordability. While the 1997-2000 SsangYong Korando was a reliable and capable SUV, it also faced some challenges. Its build quality, while robust, was often criticized for being less refined than its Japanese and European counterparts. The vehicle's safety features and fuel efficiency were also deemed less advanced compared to its competitors. However, its affordability and robust nature made it a popular choice for those seeking a reliable workhorse or off-road adventurer. The SsangYong Korando's success in this segment solidified its position as a competent and versatile SUV, ultimately contributing to the brand's growing recognition within the automotive industry.
