Engine

The powertrain of new SsangYong is expected to remain the same. The new Korando will either have a 2.0 liter, inline 4 engine that brings you 148 horsepower along with 266 lbs ft or torque; or the 2.0 liter turbo diesel engine that produces 147 horsepower.

Both engines produce 266 lb ft torque. Entry-level models are front-wheel drive although there is an option for a 4-wheel drive. The 4-wheel is the front-wheel drive in a normal road driving and sends torque only when required.

Exterior

The Korando has a revised grille with an added upper chrome strip. The front bumper has been restyled with round fog lights.

Larger, squarer headlights are used that provide a new lighting cluster that include LED day-time running lights. The car’s tail-lights have likewise been modified.

Interior

Inside, the cabin of the compact 5-seater has been refreshed as compared to the previous model. It comes with a new dashboard, angular air-vents, with an extended center console highlighted by a brand new touch-screen.

Adding to its character, chrome and glass black trim accents have been used.

The car features 50/50 diff lock as a standard and the company boasts of decent-ramp angles and ride-height clearance for those who dare to venture off-road.
