| The Korean-built but British-styled Korando 4x4 also wore the SsangYong badge from 1997. It's mechanically tough and quite roomy but lacks on-road refinement and a convincing heritage. |

| Korando was developed from a workhorse favoured by the South Korean army and police. Its butch (some might say brutal) styling is different but didn't win it acceptance in a market more used to the subtle lines of Honda CR-V or Subaru Forester. Engines are Mercedes-licenced: a 2.3 petrol and a 2.9 turbodiesel, driving through a five-speed gearbox with selectable four-wheel drive. The units are hardly state-of-the-art but willing enough - though the 2.3 is quite thirsty - and are proving reliable. The torquey diesel is the best choice for off-roading (where Korando is in its element) and for towing; it gives nearly 30mpg. Provided you can live with inevitable body roll and a ride that's on the hard side of firm, Korando isn't a bad drive. It feels fairly agile, roadholding is assured, and there's good all-round vision from the high cabin. Fairly generous equipment includes ABS and air conditioning. |
