THE SsangYong Korando is a budget alternative to the Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage and Skoda Karoq.
While it’s not as polished to drive as SUV rivals, the brand’s reputation for reliability (along with a generous seven-year warranty) makes it a sensible purchase.
A favourite with caravanners, the Korando, originally launched in 2019, with a 1.6-litre diesel engine has been updated with a four-cylinder turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine.
It’s quite noisy, but there’s plenty of power. It’s not exactly nippy, 0-60mph takes 12 seconds, but it’ll happily haul the SUV up to motorway speeds quickly enough.
When you consider how much car you get for your money. There’s a 551-litre boot – and plenty of space for adults in the back.
If you don’t need to carry rear passengers, dropping the rear seats is simple enough and provides a van-rivalling 1248-litre large load area for lugging bulky items.
Perfect for long journeys for large families
