SsangYong adds new LCV 4x4 van to Korando range

How does a new 4x4 van from just £15,995 on the road sound? SsangYong has announced they are adding a new low priced 4x4 light commercial model to its Korando range - the Korando CSX. The CSX is based on the passenger carrying Korando SX. It is a small delivery van, a go-anywhere vehicle for service engineers or simply a light commercial to ensure you reach your destination whatever the weather or terrain, the 4x4 Korando CSX makes the perfect business partner.

The Korando range is also a highly practical workhorse. The completely flat load area is accessed via a high lifting tailgate or two side doors, and packs a useful 1,312 cubic litre load volume. There’s a load deck length of 152.5 cm, and 96.5 cm between the wheel arches. The car also carries a very practical 433 kg payload, and willingly pulls a 2 tonne trailer. The Korando CSX is powered by a new lower CO₂ version of the Korando power unit. Developing 149ps@4,000rpm, this advanced 2.0 litre four cylinder turbo diesel engine produces 360Nm of torque with CO₂ emissions reduced to 157g/km. When the weather turns rough and the going gets tough, the new CSX features an impressive Torque on Demand 4x4 system and is equipped with ESP with Hill Start Assist, and mud & snow tyres as standard.

As mentioned above, the price is from just £15,995 on the road ex VAT and includes a 5 year limitless mileage warranty, but the low price doesn't mean you have to comprise on luxury features. The van will have roof rails, tinted glass and rear parking sensors, while inside there is a leather covered steering wheel and gear shift, cruise control and a Kenwood MP3 CD & RDS radio with iPod & Bluetooth connectivity, remote audio controls and six speakers.
