By the end of this century's second decade, SsangYong's Korando had been something of a fringe player in the value reaches of the mid-sized SUV class, but this MK4 model aimed to edge into the mainstream. It was well equipped, rather smart and could tow up to 2.0-tonnes. Plus it was still better off road than its rivals and came with a very complete warranty. How do all these attributes stack up on the used market?
What are your priorities in buying a capable family SUV from the 2019-2023 period? Magazine writers are usually swayed by handling dynamics and premium prestige, but the average customer tends to look first at more straightforward things. Exterior style of course - that's what buying an SUV is all about. And value; a lot of volume brands have lost sight of that in their eagerness to capitalise on this profitable segment. You're also likely to want a spacious cabin, plenty of technology, a long warranty and a design tough enough to ensure that you're not embarrassed in the next snowy snap. These sound like sensible priorities to us - and they obviously did to SsangYong because they were apparently the so-called 'cornerstones' around which this fourth generation model was developed. As a result, this 'C300'-series Korando model is sharp-looking, technologically adept and equipped with as much camera-driven safety technology as you'll find anywhere in this segment at this price point. Plus it's actually class-leading in terms of rear passenger space, towing capability and the amount of equipment you get for the money. Of course, there are still areas where this car could improve. We'd like to have seen a more affordable diesel engine variant. And elsewhere, you might read that this car could offer a slightly more supple quality of low speed ride and that the running cost efficiency could still be better. In principle, we wouldn't necessarily argue with either of those comments, but we'd also qualify them by pointing out that they reference comparisons with far less capable rivals. It's easy to make your product better in these kinds of areas when it doesn't need to be very good off road and you're selling it for an over-inflated price. In summary, back in 2019 this car was the easiest SsangYong to recommend that we had yet tested and on the used market is a difficult option to ignore from this period if you're shopping in this segment and need a really capable car of this kind. You'll just have to get used to explaining to people what it is. And who knows, you might even end up suggesting that they try one.
