nice alternative in the Korean brand line up their building some pretty good stuff these days , I would buy one any day over most of that over priced European rubbish , good review by the way.
The old Korando wasn't ugly at all. I hope they will finally establish everywhere. There will also be an all-electric version of it at the end of this year. Again: Hopefully they really can bring it to market.
i just bought the karando quartz, and i can't wait until i have it, this one does include the navigation plus 9.2" touchscreen. Thanks for the review and confirming my thoughts about this car!
Yes . please keep showing Korean and Chinese alternatives to the over priced companies as we are price sensitive and the warranty set at 7 years is compelling .
Most overtly ugly Ssang Yong precious generation Korando? I think you were referring to the first generation Stavic / Rodius from 2012-2019. That was an eye waterer. The second generation Korando (1996-2006) was no oil painting, but was the Mona Lisa when compared to the Stavic.
You would think that if they bother to build a right hand drive version, that they would have put the indicator stalk on the right hand side of the steering wheel.
Absolutely ssangyong Korando is the best because specially ssangyong always use best quality reliable engine that's why you'll be tension free about engine performance for long time use
I remember the 80's, 90's. Those cars had fuel consumption of 10-12 l / 100km ...... even though they were heavier, more solidly made. Today, they are moving beer cans full of electronics that sometimes irritate and distract while driving ... Something beeps, flashes, signals ..... Most of us do not even have time to verify it while driving, especially in the city in traffic jams and rush. I got the impression that I sit in front of two laptops for the 2021 models ..... In Korando, even activating the indicator is an annoying loud clicking noise. The car looks great on the outside, too modernist inside and the whole cockpit looking too massive. It is a car with plenty of space for 5 large people and comfortable with a very well tuned suspension system. Unfortunately, the 1.5 turbo gasoline engine is not flexible and has a very big disadvantage - its fuel consumption in the test was between 10-13 l / 100 km ...... It is a fuel-consuming engine for modern times where economic aspects are important to us ... For example a Suzuki with a 1.4 turbo engine where it only burns 5.5 liters. Koreans quickly have to do something about it because the competition is far ahead in this aspect. I would certainly give Korando 9 points, but the engine is not adapted to the weight of this car and is very fuel-consuming ..
Mate you need to choose whether power or fuel consumption. Both can not come together. You just mention suzuki which gives 86kw power and 156 Nm torque in compare to 120km power and 280 Nm torque in ssangyong. If you prefer fuel consumption then power its not for you.
Buying this car was and is the biggest mistake of my life.... fuel consumption is very poor on a 1.6 diesel. If anyone is thinking about buying this car should think 10 times before buying it. A full tank of fuel which is about £45 ,gets you up to 105 miles in town. Very poor fuel consumption. Don't get fooled by this fancy video.
Hi Emily, The Korando is more polished in terms of its features and especially the way that it drives. If you read our full reviews on site, they have a full score breakdown for how we get to the ratings at the end of each video. TW
MG is cheap, powerless and featureless car. You can not compare it with ssangyong which is powerful engine and more features in the car. So no comparison between MG and ssangyong.
Ssangyong will make you weep like a child once you discover how shockingly bad it is. It's just like a boat, you will only be happy twice, when you buy it and the day you get rid of it.

then buy Japanese rubbish........Everything is made in Asia .... kid
Better than Haval or MG at similar price tag..for sure

Really nice car and excellent value, definitely worth a look 👍
Okay....like the Musso, the Korando interior looks the business.
I like korando .. can you compare with seltos plz .. that might be help full for lot people to choose ...under budget
I think the Korando is larger than the Seltos, I believe it competes with the Sportage and Tucson
i just bought the karando quartz, and i can't wait until i have it, this one does include the navigation plus 9.2" touchscreen. Thanks for the review and confirming my thoughts about this car!
Got the car ? ;) how are your feelings with it? Worth it? I am looking forward to get korando aswell
We need Ssangyong in the US
This looks some much nicer then stupid Hyundais
Stfu

Korean yes. Chinese No.
Great review Tom, clear, precise and honest, well done mate.
After watching this, I'm going to have a look. Thankyou for your honest review.
This will easily top Tivoli in overall sales for Ssangsyong.

It's meant to be pronounced action ute....its a play on words...just like korando is...korea can do
Nicely reviewed 👍
Any chance of future Korandos having the indicator stalks on the side most suited for right handed drivers i.e. On the right of the steering column?
You would think that if they bother to build a right hand drive version, that they would have put the indicator stalk on the right hand side of the steering wheel.
That was the base model!
Very good!!!
Nice Car.I have SangYong
Hi, does is it a good and reliable car ? Because am not totally convinced about these chinese cars even if they look ok.
@@HotStinkyGarbage it's korean
@@pedrodon9091 still, its not trustworthy brand
@@HotStinkyGarbage it's rebranded Ssangyong

You don't mention the top of the range the interior is so different
need a review on Ssangyong Actyon sport pickup
The previous generation korando is fantastic. Looks way better than the new one
Lamborghini urus
Like a rav 4?
Is this any diesel varient?
Certainly better than Mazdas offering.
bro, if you don't mind how tall are you?
Genuinely. Genuinely. Genuinely. So is this a genuine review?
Actyon...stands for action and young...got it?
This or the MG HS?
This. I'd support a Korean brand over a Chinese brand any day.
Absolutely ssangyong Korando is the best because specially ssangyong always use best quality reliable engine that's why you'll be tension free about engine performance for long time use
Safety rating?
4.5
5 star
2020 no adaptive cruise control... nope..
Frankly There is the function in Korea😅

Yes I have to say that is not very good fuel consumption. You would think for a 1.5 litre it would be better.
0:00 > 4:40 yeah it’s a good car, 4:40 > heII no
Never heard of company mahindra. Mahindra comes from what nation?
India.
Mahindra also owns Pininfarina 🙂
Soon as you said “acquired by Mahindra” I immediately lost interest. Knew there was a reason I didn’t like them.
Range Rover is also owned by Mahendra...
@@Noname-mx2nf That's Tata not Mahindra.
@@idlebrain4073 that's even worse. Besides, mahindras brought in money only, taking know-how in return to biuld their own suvs

Autotraders owns Carsguide and probably Autotraders is owned by the Koreans.
I believe they are using an Indian designed / made engine.
Vinay Parameswaran Nope, Korean
Yeah these cars engines are made in chennai, India 🇮🇳❤
Design by Mercedes
@@Noname-mx2nf Mercedes engine was made and designed by force motors
I don't need a history, please stay at the car.
I fail to see how you rated this car higher than the MG HS.
Emily because it’s better

Ssangyong = Korean. MG = Chinese (state owned communist company). No brainer...

Lourens Dreyer what a load of rubbish
Mines doing miles better then my same aged Ford and has even done an extra 80,000ks
