Detailed analysis of the SsangYong Korando D20T Limited 4x2 · 175 CV (2012-2014)
General description
The 2011 SsangYong Korando D20T Limited 4x2 presents itself as an interesting option in the compact SUV segment. With a 175 HP diesel engine and front-wheel drive, this model seeks to offer a balance between performance and efficiency, standing out for its value for money in the market.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Korando, the feeling is one of solidity and comfort. The 175 HP diesel engine responds energetically, offering 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 9.9 seconds and a top speed of 195 km/h, which allows for confident overtakes. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters out road irregularities well, providing a smooth ride. The electric power steering contributes to agile driving in the city, although on the road it could offer a more direct feel. The combined consumption of 6.1 l/100km is a plus for daily use.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2011 SsangYong Korando breaks with the more controversial lines of previous models of the brand. It presents a more modern and European aesthetic, with a 5-door body and compact dimensions (4410 mm long, 1830 mm wide and 1710 mm high) that make it manageable in urban environments. The 18-inch wheels with 225/55 R18 tires give it a robust and balanced presence. The interior, although functional, might lack the sophistication of some of its competitors, but it offers generous space for five occupants and a 486-liter trunk, very practical for everyday use.
Technology and features
In the technology section, the 2011 Korando D20T Limited 4x2 incorporates a 1998 cc diesel engine with common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo and intercooler, which allows it to reach 175 HP of power. The 6-speed manual transmission effectively manages power to the front wheels. In terms of safety, it has 296 mm ventilated disc brakes at the front and 262 mm discs at the rear, ensuring good braking capacity. Although it does not have the latest driving aids of more recent models, it complies with Euro 5 regulations on emissions and has an environmental label B.
Competition
In its segment, the SsangYong Korando D20T Limited 4x2 competes with models such as the Hyundai ix35, the Kia Sportage or the Nissan Qashqai. Compared to them, the Korando is positioned as a more economical alternative, offering a powerful diesel engine and a good level of equipment for a more adjusted price. While it may not match the interior sophistication or brand image of some of its rivals, its value proposition focuses on robustness, space and reliable performance.
Conclusion
The 2011 SsangYong Korando D20T Limited 4x2 is an SUV that offers an honest and functional proposal. Its 175 HP diesel engine provides adequate performance, its design is attractive and its habitability and trunk capacity are strong points. It is an option to consider for those looking for a spacious, powerful vehicle with good value for money, without the pretensions of premium models. It is a car that delivers what it promises, ideal for families or for those who need a versatile vehicle for daily use and occasional getaways.
