SsangYong Korando priced from £19,995
The new SsangYong Korando will be priced from £19,995 when an entry-level petrol model arrives later in the year. This brings it in-line with mainstream rivals like the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage.
More stylish than its predecessor, SsangYong's hoping its Korando's seven-year warranty and high levels of standard equipment will appeal to new buyers - as well as its traditional customer base of caravanners and trailer towers.
The Korando will initially be offered with a 1.6-litre diesel engine producing 136PS and 324Nm of torque, capable of returning 48.7mpg under WLTP tests. It emits 144g/km CO2 under NEDC tests and accelerates from 0-62mph in 12 seconds.
A 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol will arrive in the UK in December 2019, providing 163PS and 280Nm of torque.
The entry-level Korando ELX, with its £19,995 price tag, will only be available with the 1.5 GDI petrol engine with manual transmission and two-wheel drive. It features cloth trim, 17-inch alloy wheels paired with all-weather tyres, cruise control, DAB radio with Bluetooth, six airbags and auto wipers/lights.
The Venture starts at £22,995 and also only comes with the 1.5 petrol engine and manual gearbox with two-wheel drive. It adds faux leather combined with deluxe fabric seat upholstery, 18-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, front and rear parking sensors, electronic parking brake, 10.25-inch full LCD cluster, eight-inch touchscreen media display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Aimed at the caravan and towing market, the Korando Pioneer starts at £26,495 and comes with the 1.6 diesel engine with an automatic transmission, available with two- or four-wheel drive. It has a two-tonne towing capacity, features faux leather combined with deluxe fabric seats, 17-inch alloy wheels with all-weather tyres, heated front seats, front and rear parking sensors, heated steering wheel, a full-sized spare wheel, 3.5-inch LCD cluster, eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a rear-view camera.
The top-spec Korando Ultimate is available in two variants, starting at £26,495. There'll be a petrol two-wheel-drive model with a manual or automatic gearbox, along with a diesel engine with an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. It features leather seats (with driver's lumbar support), dual-zone air conditioning, a nine-inch touchscreen media display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 19-inch alloy wheels, keyless start, rear privacy glass, LED headlights, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, mood lighting and a power tailgate.
