Spied – More images of Ssangyong Korando

Noticias Automotivas reports that the Ssangyong Korando, the troubled Korean auto manufacturers next unveil, can be seen running around Seoul with no camouflage.

The latest batch of spy shots convey a very pleasing design even in the absence of studio lights and image corrections. The Korando will sit below the Actyon, NA adds.

We’re not sure what engine is under this car’s bonnet. We assume it would be either a 2.0-liter diesel or the 1.8-liter gasoline unit that was presented on the concept car at Seoul last year. The petrol engine is capable of generating 175hp, more than sufficient for a mid-size crossover.

Nothing else can be determined at this point. The availability of semi-automatic transmission or a hybrid powertrain will be clear once the owner of Ssangyong is determined.

Spied – Ssangyong Korondo C

Ssangyong Korondo C

The Ssanyong Korondo has been spied without camouflage and is in production-ready form. Based on the C200 concept revealed back in the 2008 Paris Motor Show, the Korondo’s styling is very much in-tune with what SUVs look like today.

The rear tail lamp and windshield resemble the Chevrolet Captiva’s styling. The dashboard is extremely simple and functional. You won’t have to study the manual to operate this vehicle.

The dimensions of the Ssangyong Korondo are not specified, but it looks like a compact SUV. Customers would love to have AWD option and semi-automatic transmissions. Female drivers are attracted to mini SUVs and they would like an automatic transmission in this car.

The concept car (C200 Eco) was unveiled with a 2.0 litre turbodiesel engine or 1.8 litre gasoline engine both outputting 175 hp. It debuted at the Seoul Motor Show last year and grabbed eye balls of show goers. It had green technology like start-stop system and a 340 volt battery pack and motors. Ssangyong could offer the Korondo as a hybrid SUV in the future once its owner is determined.
