Jun.27.2011

▪ Italian automotive magazine ‘Quattroruote’ gives an excellent review on Korando after conducting comprehensive tests on engine performance, stability and interior roominess

▪ Korando’s outstanding engine performance, along with its European styling and design, allows stable driving under any circumstances

▪ The new SUV’s roomy interior space earns 5 stars, the highest level in the test, with ample space for 5 adults

 

Ssangyong Motor Company (President & CEO Yoo-il Lee; www.smotor.com) , part of the US$12.5 billion Mahindra Group, announced on June 27th that the company’s new Korando had received excellent reviews from ‘Quattroruote,’ a renowned automotive magazine in Europe, on each test including engine performance.

 

The test was conducted on several different areas ranging from performance to interior/exterior design, and Korando received excellent results on engine performance, stability and interior space.

 

‘Quattroruote’ has concluded that Ssangyong’s engine, designed and manufactured by the company, is both powerful and responsive, and that its responsive acceleration and resilience allow the vehicle stable driving under any circumstances. “Korando’s characteristic front and rear exterior styling as well as its simple bodyline, designed by Mr. Giorgetto Giugiaro, an automobile designer representing the industry, certainly completes the new SUV’s European style”, quoted the author of the magazine’s review article.

 

The safety level is augmented by 6 airbags and ESP (Electronic Stability Program), standard on all models, and the interior space received 5 stars, the highest level of the test, with roomy space large enough to accommodate 5 adults for a comfortable drive as well as easy access to and exit from the vehicle. The result has certainly placed Korando in the excellent family car category.

 

‘Quattroruote,’ launched in 1956, is the most well-read Italian automotive monthly magazine that has over 4.3 million readers in Italy alone.
