SsangYong Korando review – Why you shouldn't ignore this SUV

SsangYong. It's a name not many people know of, but nowadays the Korean company builds some good cars. The Korando is one of its latest, but is it an SUV you should ignore and go and buy a Nissan Qashqai instead? I find out.

Bought this car 2 months ago and I love it! safest car i ever had

Stiff suspension is down to the wheels. 18-inch is too big. Swap for 17" or 16". Comfort before looks.

Great review Batch, thank you for the positive comments and feedback! Question is... did the trousers match the car?

[mikediskin]

To compare the Korando with multiple bland, SUV/4x4 lookalikes is unfair. It's actually a very capable, well specked car. And if you need it to actually do any 4x4 off road type stuff; well, it can actually tackle it. Ah, but I hear the easily led chirping. What about it's reliability, compared to the Germans? Good question 🤔 How many of them offer a7 year warranty! 😐

Very good review i’m willing to give it a shot.

Having tested the 1.5 petrol engine, I have to disagree. It's quite responsive at low rpms and it delivers reasonable power for this price bracket. Honestly, can you really find better in terms of drivetrains and in THIS price range? I don't think so. On the other hand, the real downside is fuel consumption and one of the reasons for my choice of a Duster 1.3 tce instead of this car.

I had a petrol one for 2 weeks rented during a holiday last year, great car, the only catch is poor mpg

Very good review thanks. Nice car but needs a better petrol engine.

Your delivery reminds me of Quentin Wilson of old Top Gear fame. Wish Ssanyong well. Always seen them as Suzuki rivals and were doing reasonably well until they got into trouble

[ruicvt]

Always good reviews. Congratulations. Now you just need to improve the editing of the videos.

[freestick]

Wish the sound quality and film was better

[jonathanl]

This is a family car, and you don't show the back seats 😒 or talk about space for car seats. Did I miss it?

[bizi]

My understanding is it's not Korean brand any more, please correct me if I'm wrong

[farisiraq]

How do you think Sang Yong and Hyundai Tusan compare which one is better? Thank you.

[billy]

Not sure, in fact deffo not sure about the Quentin Wilson tribute act. If there's one act that does not need reprising...is him... mind you. Honest review..that's all we want✅.

[Paulo-ovyo]

It's a fairly good car, but the 1.5T likes to drink, and it doesn't give you a lot of confidence in the wet well below the national speed limit and driven like an old person!

[v-gun]

Does it include radar cruise and lane keep assist?

[macroman]

Was the outside footage of a 3 year old car, stock footage? and was the inside filmed of a 1990s vivitar camera, if not you need to upgrade your equipment.

[colinrenfrew]

Even this good review wouldn’t convince me.

[oliverstemp]

Great video, but I still don't like the car, I think the Dacia Duster would be a better value buy, or even one of the MG
