The SsangYong Korando, a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV), was produced by the South Korean automaker SsangYong Motor from 1996 to 2006. This first-generation Korando marked a significant shift for the company, departing from the rugged, utilitarian image of its previous vehicles. It adopted a more modern and refined design, focusing on passenger comfort and on-road performance. With its unibody construction, the Korando offered a more car-like driving experience compared to its ladder-frame predecessors. The vehicle was available with a choice of petrol and diesel engines, offering various power outputs and transmission options. The Korando's success in the Korean market was driven by its practicality and affordability, making it a popular choice for families and commuters. However, the vehicle struggled to gain traction beyond its home market, facing stiff competition from established European and Japanese SUV brands. Despite its shortcomings, the Korando's legacy continues to influence future SsangYong models. The introduction of the Korando nameplate in 1996 marked the company's transition towards modern SUV design and engineering, paving the way for more sophisticated and commercially successful products later. This early generation of the Korando also laid the groundwork for SsangYong's future innovations, including the development of its own diesel engines and the introduction of four-wheel drive systems.
