The SsangYong Korando presents a brand new option to caravanners in the market for an SUV crossover towcar.

This new offering from Korean car manufacturers SsangYong has been noted for providing all the comfort of an SUV with the convenience of a family hatchback.

With plenty of muscle to pull any sensible match, it carries a powerful 175PS, 2.0 litre diesel engine and its two tonne towing capacity makes the Korando one of the most powerful towcars in its class.

Towing ability is key

A lesser known brand in the UK, SsangYong’s managing director of UK imports Paul Williams commented: “The SsangYong brand represents great quality blended with true value, a combination that is highly sought after.”

Its makers believe the Korando is a viable alternative to established towcar favourites like the Kia Sportage, explaining how the “towing ability has been at the core of its development from day one”.

Production of a right-hand drive version began in 2010 and models will be on sale in dealerships across the country from January.
