The SsangYong Korando name plate was in production for over 40 years, and associated with vehicles that are practical, spacious and good value. The Korando started life as a tough body-on-frame 4x4, but over the generations evolved to become a capable mid-sized SUV designed to spend more time on the road than off it. 

 

Whether you're running errands around town or going on a road trip with the family, A used SsangYong Korando from an official dealer will provide an affordable, enjoyable and comfortable driving experience.

Benefits of Buying a Used SsangYong Korando

  3. Safety Features: Even older used Korando models offer advanced driver assistance systems like AEB, lane keep assist, and multiple airbags, ensuring a high level of occupant protection​ (ANCAP Vehicle Safety Testing)​​.
  4. Well-Equipped: Many recent vehicles left the factory with heated seats, parking sensors, reversing cameras, and customisable digital displays can be found even in older models
  5. Spacious Boot: The fourth generation of the model has a boot capacity of 551 litres, which grows to 1,248 litres with the rear seats folded down.

  7. Fuel Efficiency: The diesel version of the Korando offers decent fuel economy for a mid-sized SUV returning over 48 mpg for the front-wheel drive versions.

For those looking for a stylish second hand mid-sized SUV, the SsangYong Korando will tick many boxes. Affordable, packed with features and covered by a fantastic warranty, it's a solid choice.
