The SsangYong Korando, produced from 1996 to 2006, was a rugged and capable SUV that carved out a niche for itself in the global market. It represented a departure from the traditional, softer-sided Korean automotive landscape, offering a more utilitarian and off-road-focused design. The Korando was built on a ladder frame chassis, providing a sturdy foundation for its robust construction. This architecture contributed significantly to its off-road prowess, allowing it to tackle uneven terrain with confidence. Power came from a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the Mercedes-Benz sourced 2.3L and 2.9L diesel powerplants. While not the most powerful or refined, these engines were known for their durability and reliability, making them well-suited for the demanding conditions of off-road driving. The practicality of the Korando was further amplified by its spacious interior and generous cargo capacity. It was designed to accommodate five passengers comfortably, with ample headroom and legroom for both rows. The high roofline and large windows offered excellent visibility, a crucial factor for navigating challenging off-road trails. Inside, the Korando featured a simple but functional interior, with durable materials and straightforward controls. Despite its utilitarian nature, the Korando offered a surprising level of comfort for extended journeys. Its suspension system, although not as sophisticated as some competitors, delivered a comfortable ride on paved roads and a surprisingly competent handling experience on unpaved surfaces. The Korando's rugged design, combined with its reliability and practicality, made it a popular choice for adventurers, commercial users, and those seeking a robust, well-built SUV at a competitive price point.
