SsangYong launches affordable new crossover, the Korando SE

SsangYong (meaning double dragons), the longest established Korean vehicle manufacturer, has just announced that it is adding a new low priced crossover model to its Korando range - the Korando SE.

The SE features a higher level of equipment that would normally be found in more expensive cars, including Electronic stability programme (ESP) with Hill Start Assist, Active Rollover Protection (ARP) and ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).

It also comes equipped with luxury touches including roof rails, tinted glass and rear parking sensors, while inside there are electric windows front and rear, a leather covered steering wheel and gear shift, air conditioning, cruise control and a Kenwood MP3 CD & RDS radio with iPod & Bluetooth, remote audio controls and six speakers.

 “With a new and extremely affordable purchase price, a highly competitive PCP scheme on all models and a market leading 5 year limitless mileage warranty, there has never been a better time to purchase a Korando,” said Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK.

SsangYong’s new model in the Korando line-up is powered by an advanced and robust 2.0 litre four cylinder turbo diesel engine producing 360Nm of torque with CO₂ emissions of 147g/km and developing maximum power of 149ps@4,000rpm, while also providing a full two tonne towing capability.
