Do you know which South Korean car company is the oldest? Kia? Hyundai? Samsung? Not one correct answer – the oldest and at the same time the fourth largest South Korean car company is SsangYong . This year he is already celebrating his sixtieth birthday , and it is appropriate to celebrate with some anniversary models.
The first is the Korando 60th anniversary , which is of course based on last year's facelifted SUV with a design by Giugiaro . The body received a new grille, LED projector headlights for daytime running , chrome elements and a decent rear spoiler. Above all, there are 18-inch wheels in combination with white metallic. Inside, a completely redesigned dashboard awaits. In the engine compartment, there is a two-liter turbodiesel with an output of 149 or 181 horsepower, coupled with a manual or automatic transmission. The equipment is based on the ELX4 level , the price starts at 21,245 pounds (approx. 739,000 crowns) for the manual and 22,745 pounds (approx. 791,000 crowns) for the automatic. The price includes a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty .
The larger Rexton W 60th anniversary is more of a true off-roader than an SUV with a frame construction, permanent rear-wheel drive with the option to assign the front wheels and a towing capacity of 3 tons . Under its hood, we find a two-liter turbodiesel e-XDi200 with a power of 155 hp and a torque of 360 Nm in combination with a six-speed manual or a five-speed T-Tronic automatic from Mercedes . Compared to the Korando, the Rexton W 60th anniversary, based on the EX trim level, also received a large portion of equipment, including front parking sensors, an electric sunroof, heated seats in the front and back, an electronically adjustable passenger seat, satellite navigation with the same white metallic finish as the Korando. The price with the manual starts at 25,995 pounds (approx. 904,000 crowns), the automatic starts at 27,495 pounds (approx. 956,000 crowns). Similar to the Korando, the price also includes a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty .
