Review: 2017 SsangYong Korando ELX 4x4


Quick, clear any mental cache you may have of the SsangYong Korando. From a company that was grabbing headlines more for producing “kill-it-with-fire” styled vehicles, here’s something that won’t turn you to stone when looking at it. The 2017 Korando is actually palatable—no, scratch that, it’s actually quite handsome any which way you look at it. The question is: is this Giugiaro-penned crossover’s beauty merely skin deep?

Review: 2021 Ssangyong Korando 1.6 Diesel Premium


You can’t be blamed for forgetting that the Ssangyong Korando exists. Thanks to the almost non-stop deluge of compact SUVs from China, the segment where it’s competing in has become one of the most cut-throat, most densely packed in the market. And with a limited dealer footprint—just two are in Luzon (the four others are in Visayas and Mindanao)—it hasn’t really stuck as a top-of-mind choice. But now that you realize that this isn’t the automotive equivalent of Mr. Snuffleupagus, can it strike a chord?

First Drive: 2016 SsangYong Tivoli, Korando, and Rodius


Anyone of a certain age will remember SsangYong. Apart from a name that read like a typo, it was infamous for slapping on a German three-pointed star on its vehicles in the late 1990’s to early 2000’s. It died a natural death, whimpering out of existence as extinct as the animal namesake of one of their nameplates. That is, until now.

SsangYong Designs Now Are Inspired by Korea and Nature


In the past, SsangYong has made cars which were as visually challenging to understand as their nameplates: Rexton, Actyon, and Rodius. In fact, for decades, the brand seemed to look for inspiration from the West only to have the finished product look like something that was subjected to a Korean cultural blender. Well, SsangYong is putting that past behind them and now all eyes are on the double dragons and this time, it’s for a good reason.

SsangYong Moves to Build Advanced Engines


SsangYong Motors is remembered mostly for their tie-up with Mercedes-Benz producing products such as the MB100 (Istana) and Musso. Though that arrangement happened to span only three years (1991 to 93), it left an indelible mark on the company that remains with them until today. Moving forward from simple licensing agreements, SsangYong is inching towards a corporate vision of becoming the “most innovative and respected Korean automotive company”. Flush with cash from its acquisition by the Mahindra & Mahindra Group, SsangYong plans to expand its global footprint by selling 300,000 units globally.
