What is the SsangYong Turismo?
The Turismo is a large diesel people carrier from South Korean maker SsangYong, now known as KGM. It is related to the Rodius and was sold under the Turismo name in the UK. Its tall body is designed to carry passengers and luggage, reflecting the practical side of the maker’s range.
UK figures cover the Turismo from 2014 to 2018. In the European Union, the related model was listed as the Rodius from 2013 to 2019. KGM’s roots include building four-wheel-drive vehicles, and the Turismo adds a people carrier to that practical tradition.
Generation, engines and power
Generation II ran from 2013 to 2019. The UK model carried the Turismo badge, while the related model was called the Rodius in the EU.
The EU range used diesel engines from 2.0 L to 2.2 L. UK versions also used diesel engines in that size range, with power from 114 kW (155 PS) to 131 kW (178 PS).

The lowest listed UK consumption is 7.2 L/100 km on the NEDC test. The UK figures cover 12 versions from 2014 to 2018.
In official EU registration figures, the related Rodius recorded 5,558 registrations from 2013 to 2019. The listed annual figures for 2.2 L diesel versions were 1,398 in 2017, 1,332 in 2016 and 1,028 in 2018. NEDC was the European procedure used for the UK consumption figure; WLTP is a newer European procedure, so results from different cycles are not directly comparable.
