Admittedly, when it comes to Korean brands, you may think of Kia and Hyundai first. But in fact, there is such a Korean brand, which was once on a par with Hyundai, and in the early years, it also introduced many models in the mainland market in a purely imported way; even its products were regarded as luxury cars in China. This Korean brand is SsangYong!
Friends who still have an impression of the SsangYong brand should remember that among the cars introduced by SsangYong to the mainland, there is also a product Chinese called "Colando". Although it is an imported car and has the positioning of a hardcore SUV, its price has only remained at about 140,000. Nowadays, due to the gradual departure of SsangYong's product strength from the times, its brand appeal has not been as good as before. But the Colando model still ushered in a replacement a few years ago. A few days ago, some overseas netizens gave a set of real photos of the new generation of SsangYong Colando. Without further ado, let's take this opportunity to take a look at the style of this Korean classic product after the replacement.
In terms of appearance, the new generation of Colando will have a more rigid design form. Its front face is equipped with a split grille design, and the upper and lower grilles are added to the horizontal railing shape of chrome filling, so that it shows the hard school wildness at the same time, there is a certain degree of refinement. In addition, the sharp headlights and the front surround of the three-stage intake structure add to the aggressiveness of its front face.
On the side of the car, the bulging effect of the rear waistline creates a sense of déjà vu at the rear, which sublimates its hardcore SUV attributes. The blackened trim embedded in the C-pillar gives it a stylish look similar to the suspended roof design.
In the rear part of the car, the angular taillights are added with halo-like LEDs; with the trapezoidal extended chrome plating and the layered rear surround, it can not only sublimate its sense of wild nature, but also bring strong personality design elements.
Looking inside, the interior of the new car will retain a decent T-shaped layout. And the embedded central control screen and small size instrument LCD screen, although in the current "big screen era" does seem to be a bit outdated, but after all, it is only a product that pays attention to practical positioning; there is no need to feel too surprised by this design.
In terms of space, the new generation of Colando has a length, width and height of 4452/1870/1620mm; although this three-dimensional is more average among compact SUVs, its wheelbase reaches 2675mm. Therefore, if we talk about the internal space alone, it will not show too many disadvantages.
As for power, the all-new Generation Colando will be available with a 1.5T petrol engine and a 1.6L diesel engine to choose from. The maximum power of the two is 163 hp and 136 hp, respectively, with a peak torque of 280 Nm and 324 Nm, respectively, and depending on the model, it matches the 6-speed manual and 6AT transmission from Aisin. In addition, some models are equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
So, if the new generation of SsangYong Colando still has the opportunity to enter domestic sales, will you consider it?
