Ssangyong Korando

The Korando is one of the best selling SUVs from the Korean market and has built a wonderful reputation of being a very reliable and powerful small compact SUV. Built by Korean manufacturer Ssangyong that is now owned by Mahindra, the Korando will be released in the Indian market in 2013. As a front-wheel-driving car, the engine is placed over the drivewheels, vastly improving its traction in hazardous conditions like snow, mud, and gravel. A six-speed automatic transmission and optional smart all-wheel-drive system means it drives as smoothly on the road as it does off. It also has electric stability control and eco-cruise control. The engine on offer is 2.0 litre 4 cylinder diesel that can produce 170bhp and a decent torque of 360Nm. It also has modern interior features and safety features. The car will also be priced in the below Rs 15 lakh bracket.
