🏷️ Basic Information Identification Make: SsangYong Model: Korando Year: 1995 Generation Generation: First Generation (Korando Family/Korando SJ413/K5 based) Codes Chassis Codes: K401 (likely based on earlier Korando designations) 👋 Introduction Market Position Market Position: The 1995 SsangYong Korando was marketed as a capable, rugged, and affordable compact SUV with significant off-road potential. It aimed to provide a durable and utilitarian vehicle for a wide range of uses, from daily commuting to recreational off-roading and light utility work. Competitive Analysis Competitive Analysis: In its segment, the Korando competed with vehicles like the Jeep Cherokee (XJ), Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero), and Suzuki Vitara. Its strengths lay in its robust body-on-frame construction and the availability of strong diesel engines (often sourced from Mercedes-Benz), offering a compelling value proposition, although often lacking the refinement and advanced features of some competitors. Key Features Key Features: Body-on-frame construction, selectable 4WD system with low range, strong diesel engine options, utilitarian interior, and a design rooted in the classic Jeep CJ lineage, providing a durable and functional platform. 📋 Manual Details Coverage Areas Coverage Areas: Engine, transmission, drivetrain, chassis, suspension, steering, brakes, electrical system, body, interior, HVAC, troubleshooting, diagnostics, maintenance schedules, specifications.
