Detailed analysis of the SsangYong Korando D20T Limited Plus 4x4 Aut. · 175 CV (2010-2012)
General description
The 2011 SsangYong Korando, in its D20T Limited Plus 4x4 Aut. version, presents itself as a robust and functional option in the SUV segment. With a 175 HP diesel engine and all-wheel drive, this vehicle promises versatility both on and off-road, offering an interesting alternative for those seeking a practical car with good capabilities.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Korando, the feeling is one of solidity. Its 175 HP diesel engine, coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivers a strong response, especially in the mid-range of revolutions. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.8 seconds is adequate for its segment, and the top speed of 186 km/h allows for long journeys with confidence. The AWD traction provides extra safety and capability in adverse conditions or on less paved terrain, although its combined consumption of 7.5 l/100km is a factor to consider. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, seeks a balance between comfort and stability, although it can sometimes feel a bit firm.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2011 SsangYong Korando is functional and unpretentious, but with an aesthetic that seeks robustness. Its lines are clean and its 5-door body offers good habitability. The dimensions, with 4410 mm long and 1830 mm wide, place it in a compact size within SUVs, facilitating its handling in urban environments. The interior, although not luxurious, is practical and well-resolved, with a 486-liter trunk that offers good cargo capacity for daily use or getaways.
Technology and features
In the technology section, the 2011 Korando incorporates the essentials for its time. Its 1998 cc diesel engine with common rail direct injection, turbo, and variable geometry, is an efficient and powerful engine. The 6-speed automatic transmission contributes to a more relaxed driving experience. In terms of safety, it features ventilated disc brakes at the front and disc brakes at the rear, and electric power steering that facilitates maneuvers. Although it does not incorporate the latest innovations in connectivity or driving assistance of more modern models, it meets the expectations of a vehicle of its generation.
Competition
The SsangYong Korando competes in a segment with consolidated rivals such as the Hyundai ix35, the Kia Sportage, or the Nissan Qashqai. Compared to them, the Korando offers a proposal more oriented towards functionality and robustness, with a competitive price of 29,050 euros at the time. Its 4x4 traction and powerful diesel engine position it as an interesting alternative for those who value off-road capabilities and durability over a more avant-garde design or more sophisticated technological equipment.
Conclusion
The 2011 SsangYong Korando D20T Limited Plus 4x4 Aut. is an honest and capable SUV. It does not aim to be the most glamorous, but it more than delivers on what it promises: a versatile vehicle with good dynamic capabilities and a diesel engine that offers adequate performance. It is an option to consider for those looking for a practical, reliable, and all-wheel-drive car, without the need for great luxuries, and who value the quality-price ratio.
