SsangYong Korando

The SsangYong Korando is a versatile compact SUV launched in 1997 that has gone through three major generations to establish itself as a reference in the accessible utility vehicle segment. Since its inception, the SsangYong Korando history embodies the evolution of a South Korean manufacturer toward international standards of quality and design, in direct competition with models such as the Hyundai Tucson or the Kia Sportage. The first generation (1997-2006) marked the Daewoo Group's entry into the SUV market, with a rustic and functional approach, while the second version (2010-2019) displayed pronounced stylistic modernization and better habitability to appeal to a more urban audience. The SsangYong Korando generations have progressively integrated more virtuous diesel engines, driving assistance technologies and more premium interior fittings, reflecting the manufacturer's ambition to meet the expectations of an evolving clientele. The current SsangYong Korando model, launched in 2021, continues this trajectory with contemporary design, progressive electrification and enhanced connectivity, positioning the Korean compact SUV as a relevant choice for families seeking a compromise between practicality, controlled consumption and competitive equipment-to-price ratio, far from the excessive pricing of its established European competitors.
