Tires on Ssang Yong Korando (Ссанг Йонг)

Ssang Yong Korando – a crossover from a Korean manufacturer that has been in production since 1983. The model has gone through several generations and remains relevant today.

Introduction

In 1983, the first generation was introduced. It was a complete copy of the Jeep CJ-7, which was produced under a license agreement. The vehicle had a short and long wheelbase and could have an open top, van body, and several other modifications. Gasoline and diesel engines were used as power units, with power ranging from 68 to 200 horsepower, depending on the modification. Among the most popular ones is the 2.2-liter engine from the Japanese company Isuzu, which produced 68 horsepower and was known for its traction. Another notable modification was the vehicle equipped with a 2.5-liter "diesel" from Peugeot.

Overall, the frame design, robust body, excellent off-road capability, and the ability of the suspension to withstand increased loads made the vehicle quite popular, not only in the country but also worldwide, including the European region.

Generation 2

In 1996, the updated "Korando" was introduced, which was based on the "Musso" platform. The completely redesigned body was designed by Ken Greenley, who previously worked with Bentley and Aston Martin. Under the hood, engines from the German company Mercedes were installed: a 2.3 and 2.9-liter diesel, and a 2.3 and 3.2-liter gasoline engine.

The vehicle was still produced in a three-door version but could have a hard or soft top. Van body versions were also available. Notable technical features include air conditioning, power steering, electric windows, and central locking.

The front suspension was independent, and a torsion bar with springs was installed at the rear. The model could be either four-wheel drive or have a connectable four-wheel drive system. The ground clearance was approximately 20 cm, and the presence of a steel skid plate protected the engine from mechanical damage when driving on rough terrain.

Generation 3

In 2010, a new generation was introduced, which became a classic urban crossover with a self-supporting body. The vehicle lost its frame, but the presence of four-wheel drive allowed it to feel confident on rough terrain. Notably, the four-wheel drive system usually worked in automatic mode and could be connected when the front wheels lost traction. There was also an option for forced connection to overcome challenging sections.

The engines were represented by a proprietary gasoline engine and a Mercedes diesel engine, which had undergone several modifications and had two boost options, allowing for 150 and 175 horsepower.

Generation 4

In 2019, the next generation was introduced. The vehicle now had a more aesthetically pleasing body with smooth lines. Its wheelbase became longer, but the ground clearance decreased. This had a positive impact on aerodynamics. As before, the front suspension was represented by a MacPherson system, and the rear suspension had a multi-link design. This combination allowed for a high level of comfort, both on the highway and on rough terrain.

The engines became less voluminous and were all equipped with turbochargers. The diesel version had a 1.6-liter engine, and the gasoline version had a 1.5-liter engine. All of them were paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission from Aisin.

The vehicle is represented in many countries, including Russia. This factor contributed to its popularity in our region. Like any vehicle, it requires regular maintenance, including tire replacement. The online store "Mosavtoshina" can help with this issue.
