Not sure what a tonne would look like on the back? Luckily SsangYong clear that up with this handy illustration
What’s not
- One of the problems with a lot of these budget vehicles is the power steering set-up and sadly the Korando fails here too. It’s ultra-light which means it’s rather vague – and there is no feel at all for what’s going on between the steering wheel and the road.
- While we have no problems with the general fit and finish of this truck, some of the plastics felt rather tacky and “last generation”.
- The tailgate of the Korando is good and solid, but the standard fitment load liner feels as though it might cave in if you put anything heavy on it. Would a split load liner be replaced under warranty? Maybe, maybe not.
Verdict on the SsangYong Korando Sports EX
At this price we take our (hard) hats off to SsangYong and wish ’em the best of luck with this perky contender against some strong opposition. It’s reasonably well built, it drives well and it offers a fair fuel economy figure, plenty of kit, and reassuring warranty back up. That’s not a bad start is it?
