Ssangyong have always been known for creating most of the most visually defunct (or ugly) vehicles around.
This should change with the release of their new Korando Sports, which debuted as a concept during the Geneva Auto Show last year.

The KORANDO is a replacement for the Actyon Sports, one of the ugly cars we mentioned. The Korando is a four foor SUV style car with a rear truck bed, making a new sector called the LUV, or Leisure Utility Vehicle.

Although the Korando has a more acceptable look, it certainly won’t win any beauty contents, but it shows an improvement to the brand for Ssangyong.

Power comes from a 3.0 litre EXDi200 Diesel motor with 155 Horsepower and comes with a fuel efficiency of 36.7 MPG.

Ssangyong used cars was recently bought by Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd who say that the new diesel engine will meet the Euro5 regulations. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available to us.
