The SsangYong Korando, produced from 1997 to 2000, was a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) that marked a significant step forward for the Korean automaker. This generation of Korando was built on a ladder frame chassis, providing a robust and durable foundation for its off-road capabilities. It featured a 2.3-liter petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, offering a blend of power and efficiency. The Korando's design was angular and boxy, typical of SUVs during that era, but it possessed a rugged charm, evident in its high ground clearance, large wheel arches, and functional exterior. The interior was practical and straightforward, with durable materials and a focus on functionality over luxury. The Korando proved its worth in demanding conditions, particularly in its home market of South Korea, where its off-road prowess and affordability made it a popular choice. Despite its rugged nature, the SsangYong Korando wasn't without its limitations. Its engine, while capable, was not as refined as those found in its Japanese and European rivals. The interior, although functional, lacked the refinement and comfort of contemporary SUVs from other brands. However, the Korando's strengths lay in its value proposition, offering a capable and affordable SUV that could handle a wide range of tasks. The 1997-2000 Korando solidified SsangYong's position as a manufacturer of robust and utilitarian vehicles, laying the groundwork for its future SUV models. Today, owning a SsangYong Korando from this generation is a testament to its enduring durability and a reminder of the brand's commitment to building vehicles that are both practical and capable.
