The improvements are the result of a major upgrade to the powertrain which now employs a new
Euro 6, 2.2 litre diesel engine, and offers the choice of two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive and either a
6-speed manual or new Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission for smooth gear changing and an
enhanced driving performance.

2. “This is a significant evolution for the Korando,” says Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK.
“The power upgrade brings greater refinement, while the car continues to deliver unrivaled levels of
equipment and value. No other car in its class has such a strong towing capability, nor such a
comprehensive warranty for complete peace of mind.”
Diesel power
The newly developed e-XDi220 diesel engine meets the demand for a more powerful performance
and lower CO2 emissions at the same time. Maximum power is increased to 178ps and torque to
400Nm - up by 19.4% and 11% respectively over the previous Euro 5 diesel 2.0 litre engine.
Maximum torque is delivered from a low of 1,400rpm and maintained through a wide range up to
2,800rpm for smooth, progressive driving from the start.
Big strides have also been made with CO2 emissions which have been reduced to 139g/km, down
from 147g/km on the previous two-wheel drive, manual transmission model, while fuel economy is
considerably improved and now up to 53.3mpg (Combined cycle) for the 2-wheel drive manual
compared with 47.1mpg on the model it replaces.
Enhancements inside and out
Designed by the Italian styling house, Giugiaro, the new 2016 Korando also offers a number of
equipment enhancements. Externally, it now sports stylish clear glass direction indicators, a new
piano black radiator grille with additional chrome detailing on the ELX, and new-look 16’’ & 17’’ alloy
wheels, as well as 18’’ diamond cut alloy wheels on the top of the range model.
There are further improvements inside with an upgraded infotainment system on all models. The SE
gets an RDS audio system with an MP3 player, Bluetooth, iPod / iPhone connectivity, while the EX

3. features a 7” high-resolution touch screen with audio streaming from smart devices and a link to the
rear view camera. The top of the range ELX also benefits from a TomTom navigation system, and
all feature a USB memory slot, Aux port and HDMI port.

Korando has always been extremely well equipped. The SE comes with smart cloth trim, electric
windows, air conditioning, cruise control, 16” alloy wheels, an RDS/Bluetooth radio and six airbags.

parking sensors and 17” alloy wheels.

5 year limitless mileage warranty
All models in the SsangYong range are covered by a best-in-class 5 year limitless mileage warranty.
Designed to be totally transparent and give customers complete peace of mind, ‘limitless’ means just
that: not a maximum mileage condition that some brands impose in their small print. All the major
mechanical components are covered including wheel bearings, suspension joints and bushes,
steering joints, shock absorbers and even the audio system. Wearable components such as clutch
discs and brake friction materials which could have their life reduced by poor driving are covered for
one year or 12,000 miles, and the battery and paintwork for three years.
Made in Korea
SsangYong cars are manufactured in South Korea by SsangYong Motor, which is 73 per cent
owned by the Indian engineering conglomerate Mahindra & Mahindra, and imported into the UK by
SsangYong Motor UK. Established in 1954 it is Korea's oldest vehicle manufacturer and only 4x4
and SUV specialist producer. There are currently some 60 SsangYong dealers covering England,
Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with new locations being added to the network all the time.
