The Korando is a well-proportioned, generously sized and specced compact crossover. That’s a mighty strong starting point in today’s market.The old one was a favourite choice of value-seeking caravanners and trailerists. The new one with diesel power will haul a two-tonne trailer too.
Pros Space, equipment, cheap but doesn't look it
Cons Sluggish diesel engine, lumpy suspension
The Ssangyong Korando is a closer rival to its European rivals than ever before, and combines versatility with agility and generous equipment, at an attractive price. Its running costs are rather high, though, and ride comfort could be better, so it’s hard to recommend the Korando over the best in this class.
Pros Good value Powerful engine Very practical
Cons Offset driving position High running costs Poor resale values
