Ssangyong has released the first details of the all-new, Euro-spec 2020 Korando, ahead of its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The fourth-generation Korando was previewed by Ssangyong’s SIV-2 design concept that was showcased at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show, as well as the larger Rexton.

One of the biggest improvements of the new Korando over its predecessor is the new interior. The cabin is now made out of better quality materials and comes with high-tech features such as a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9-inch infotainment system.


In addition, Ssangyong claims that the all-new Korando offers better head-room and rear seat space than its main competitors in Europe’s compact SUV segment, which includes models like the Nissan Qashqai, the Skoda Karoq and more. The new Korando measures 4,410mm long, 1,830mm wide and 1,675mm high, riding on a 2,650mm wheelbase.

Ssangyong will offer the new Korando in Europe with a new 1.5-liter turbo petrol and an updated 1.6-liter diesel, but the big news is the fully-electric version that’s slated for a launch in 2020. The e-SIV concept was powered by a 188 hp electric motor and a 6 1kWh battery pack, promising a range of up to 450 km.


Stay tuned for the full details of the all-new Ssangyong Korando on March 5, at the Geneva Motor Show.
