2011/12 Ssangyong Korando

**galaxy2012** · October 6th, 2010 05:38 AM

The new korando was designed by Italdesign Giorgetto Giugiaro and based in an all new monocoque platform unlike the other existing models. The engine will be a eXDi200 2.0-liter diesel engine developing 175 hp using a two-stage turbocharger with an advanced high-efficiency exhaust gas recycling (EGR) intercooler producing a solid 130kW and 450Nm of torque, a 1.8 litre 115 hp gasoline will follow suit later. Transmission choice are 6 speed manual or six speed automatic. It will be called the New Actyon (as someone mentioned) only in Russia as this car is also being made under Russian car makers Sollers.

BTW the new owner of Ssangyong Motors is Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, completion of takeover will be done later this year.

mukhang magandang alternative ito sa hyundai at kia crdi cuv.
The sad side is that I heard from someone that ssangyong dealership will close dito sa pilipinas. meron po ba dito sa tsikot na makapag confirm nito?

Di pa magsasara ang Ssangyong dealership dito sa Pinas..Ang owner ng Ssangyong dealerships dito ay same owners ng Citimotors,Wheels,Union Motors and Hyundai Dasma Cavite!

Next year pa ang labas ng new Korando dito..For now concentrate muna sila sa sales ng Actyon at Rodius na mabenta talaga.

Ito ang latest news from an australian website tungkol sa Korando.

SsangYong has today announced Australian availability of the all-new 2011 Korando, following its international unveiling late last year.

Mukhang ok naman ang specs. Dadalhin kaya ng wheels Inc. dito?

Very nice! I find its design more appealing than the Tucson. Wheels Inc. would be just dumb not to bring this here. If properly priced, it should be able to steal many impatient Tucson buyers and be a formidable competitor to the upcoming Sportage as well.

Lumabas na sa Korean market! And I bet the new one is much more fuel efficient than the Tucson and Sportage!

Well, what do you think?

Pag "***y" naman yung Tucson, at yung Sportage naman ay "smart", ang bagong Korando C naman ay "classy"! Ano mas prefer? ***y? Smart? Or Classy?

Actually I found out a bit more about the new engines from Ssangyong, these new engine are NOT mercedes benz. They are ssangyong's self made engine developed in collaboration with the Austrian company called AVL (Anstalt für Verbrennungskraftmaschinen List).
