It’s probably fair to say that the SsangYong Korando isn’t exactly a household name when it comes to the crossover segment in the same way that the Nissan Qashqai or Kia Sportage might be.
But given that it undercuts the vast majority of its more recognisable rivals by around £2,000, it definitely has to be worth a look, right?
We took delivery of the Korando for a week-long test drive to see if there’s more to SsangYong’s budget crossover SUV than just a low price tag.

I've had 5 Ssangyongs now and loved every single one of them. I currently own a Rexton W and Actyon (Korando) Sports ute, both of which are clocking up miles very quickly (30,000 km per year each) and they faultlessly reliable and very comfortable to drive on the 80km round trip to work over country roads which can range from normal bitumen to nothing more than a grassy track depending on which way takes my fancy.
I had 2011 model year and the torque it delivers, is mind blowing . It is just a beast in terms of power and size
we had one a Ssangyoung rexton thing had 400k Miles before it gave up no issues with anything thing was indestructible also gave great mpg
AT LEAST YOU OWNED ONE, THESE GUYS TALK SHIT ABOUT A CAR THEY HAVE EVER DRIVEN.... REXTON IS A GREAT CAR...
Got a new SsangYong XLV have it over a year now with over 21k kms on the clock have to say a great all round car..and i was a Mazda 6 Diesel 2L driver before hand this 1.6L Engine is nothing short of amazing for its size! The Build quality & Interiors are waaaaay ahead of Mazda!
all the reviews on the Korando seem really critical, had my Korando for about 5 months and I love it, engine is a bit loud if you want to sit at 4k rpm but as long as you keep it down between 1-2k you can barely hear it, if you want a quiet car go electric, there is more than enough space inside, interior is of a good finish, no rolls Royce but I'd say it easily matches the sportage if not a little better. decent mpg if drove right, highest I've had is 75 average on a long motorway run. nippy round town, overall I think it's a great car for most normal people that don't expect a SUV to perform like a Ferrari and have the finish of a rolls Royce for less than 20k
How’s it held up over time? I’m thinking about buying a used one. Any major issues?
THIS GUY TALKS SHIT, THE KORANDO IS A GREAT CAR... GOES LIKE FUCK ON THE MOTORWAY, SUPERB OFF ROAD, NEARLY FIFTY MPG TO THE GALLON, AND QUITE AS A MOUSE INSIDE, AS WELL AS IT HAS LOADS OF ROOM... HAD MINE 1 1/2 YEARS AND ALL IS PERFECT.... MY FRIEND HAS A KIA SPORTAGE, BUT ONE DRIVE IN MY THE KORANDO BEAST HE SOON SWAPPED OVER AND BOUGHT ONE... OWN ONE FOR A YEAR OR MORE BEFORE YOU DO A REVIEW....
Sounds a completely different car to the one I drove. A nice little motor. The handbrake is in an awkward position though. Nice and uncluttered dash. Easy to find everything while driving.
"Texture of a pensioners hands".....What a pratt!
Mary Petrie I agree Mary, they all want to be a Clarkson and he is a proper Pratt!
As the owner of a Korando, I can tell you that the steering wheel is hard and grainy but a pensioner's hands would be soft and smooth so your "joke" is not only rude but wrong. I have now owned the car for three years without any issues. Not the most fuel efficient car but I can live with that. Quite a few on our roads now so the public seems to have caught on to this cheaper but quality (and more powerful) alternative to the Japanese models.

@@shanx7706 No mechanical issues at all in five years but I have driven it less than 30,000 kms so not sure how it holds up over higher mileages...
You guys make such high quality videos. You deserve more recognition
+Cinemagic Thank you! very kind of you :)
GREAT VIDEOS ??? THEY DRIVE A CAR FOR A HOUR AND CAN TELL HOW THE CAR REALLY IS ?? THEY ARE AMATUER REVIEWS WHO TEST DRIVE A CAR FROM THE MAIN DEALERS AND DO NOT DO A HONEST REVIEW... THEY EVEN COPY COMMENT FROM OTHER NEGATIVE REVIEWS.... TEST DRIVE ONE FOR A WEEK, YOU WILL LOVE IT INSTANTLY... MINE WILL EAT A DACIA DUSTER OR Qashqai, ON POWER, LOOKS, AND ROOM...
Cinemagic cool
Cinemagic go o
They are great until you need to buy spare parts. I had to spend 455 British pounds for a radiator after 20000 miles. This i did not include fitting price.
I couldn’t disagree with this more. Ive got a BM 420 mpsort, whilst its a totally different car I have driven my dads korrando and am always impressed, its a nice drive and a nice place to sit.
The Sportage and Nissan quashed are not all wheel drive, why compare apples with oranges?
Quashqui is very expensive for what you get
I have a Ssangyong Tivoli I like the look of this korando nice inside I don’t like the qashqui looks wise I think the warranty is good with Ssangyong but you will use it!
Here in south africa we have problem with the parts they are limited on CZcams people the are busy with advertising but here comes on car in terms or faults and car parts Noone is helping us why ssangyong guys what's wrong with this car it seems like its not allowed in our country
It sound like "keranda" mean coffin in Malay.
I think its a brilliant car but design is not as good as the Qashqai or tucson. Its price is low tho

Hi ! ! street actually sounds like pretty mytiican%last
What
Terrible picture angles. I couldn't grasp the overall design of the car, neither from the outside nor from the inside.
+Meni Fo get some glasses? i can see it just fine
Easy to buy... but when come time to sell this... is not possible :) 100%
I love word imagery " steering wheel leather like a pensioners hands " nice try but I`ll raise you " from an ageist fartstorm of irish hot air " !!
The only thing i dont like about this car is it's brand name. You'd think they would change the brand name to something people could easily pronounce without it sounding stupid since it's being sold all over the world.
this car should never reach the shore of britain... just saying
