One thing to check with a loud knocking noise is the auxiliary belt tensioner. If it's bouncing around in unison with the knocking then it's normally either a vibration damper or an alternator over running pulley. It's easy to miss and assume it's an engine problem because the noise can be horrible and it's a relatively cheap fix.

Which is why it's always a good idea to let the engine tick over while you have a look under the bonnet ;)

My brother had a Ssanyong Korrando, the short wheel base one from the late '90's, with the separate roundy front wings. He loved it. He'd gone through multiple cars in a fairly short period of time trying to find one which didn't give him backache. He’s tried all those seat fitments, including one of those beaded things.... trying to solve it. When he bought the Korrando, the backache disappeared. He fitted LPG to it, and did loads of economical miles. He gave me a lift in it once, and I was quite impressed. Nice high seating position, decent amount of get up and go. Yeah, it was an OK car. Perhaps, Ssangyong should have stuck to the Merc engines......?

Here in Colombia, SsangYong is quite a well know brand for being reliable and quite strong, indeed we just sold our 2013 Korando diesel Auto for about £7,500, in the 10 years of ownership it's only needed a set of Glowplugs. We did however change the oil and filters once a year. I also have a 2012 Cayenne S 4.8, with less than 60K miles and that's had more, in number and seriousness, repairs in a year ( ABS sensor, brittle and therefore leaking coolant pipes and now a serious air suspension issue). The Korando was however a terrible ride with an engine that was all or nothing and not particularly economical. The 1.6eXDI is probably similar to the 2.0 eXDI in the Korando which is an in-house design. SsangYong are now owned by an Indian firm don't think they were ever part of Kia / Hyundai.
