About the KGM Korando
The fourth-generation Korando represents a significant shift for the brand, moving away from its rugged body-on-frame roots toward a refined monocoque crossover design. Following SsangYong's rebranding to KGM (KG Mobility) in 2023, the model continues to offer a spacious 551-litre boot and a high level of standard safety equipment, including a five-star Euro NCAP rating. The 1.5-litre GDI-Turbo engine provides adequate performance for family duties, though it prioritises utility and towing capacity over outright speed. It remains a popular choice for budget-conscious buyers who require a practical, well-equipped alternative to mainstream European and Japanese rivals.
