What is the KGM Korando?
The Korando is a family-sized SUV from South Korean maker KGM, formerly SsangYong. It sits between the smaller Tivoli and larger Rexton in the brand’s SUV range, with a practical shape for everyday family use. The Korando name dates back to 1983.
The third generation (C200) ran from 2010 to 2019; the fourth (C300) began in 2019. The third generation was SsangYong’s first SUV with a monocoque body. The next brought a new design and continued the Korando’s role as a road-focused family SUV.
