The Korando is SsangYong's first new car in four years, and is pitched as a low-cost rival to the Nissan Qashqai, Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. There is lots of kit -- even entry-level cars get air-con, cruise control and rear parking sensors -- while you have a choice of front and four-wheel drive. The only engine option is a powerful 2.0-litre diesel. But while the Korando sounds attractive, it has a low-rent feel. Inside are hard, scratchy plastics, and the engine is noisy. Plus, in corners, the Korando isn't as stable as its rivals.

I love the way You walk at the end of the review...:P

[@moisesgallegos7587]

sometimes when i see the comments around your videos makes me feel sick. you should block a lot of crazy people. good video by the way

[@SahilRULEZ909]

Actually, this is quite a nice car

[@ivonattofelix]

[@truknayr23]

If this car comes with you as standard... i'd get it... Getting better and better you are... love you and your review!

[@HUMC5]

I just love her accent!!!

[@aley101]

ooh I have been looking forward to this review for months!!!!!

[@Felix96xy]

For Ssang Yong, this is by far not a bad car. A good looking one too

I have a ssangyonng Kyron know, and i dont change it for any other suv, and is one of the best off road.

[@4N15H]

If they address the interior materials, engine and chassis dynamics this can be a fantastic option.

[@KanishQQuotes]

Great looking car Better looking than the duster

[@richkyraymond7776]

the way she pronounce SsangYong in the beginning of the video is pretty cute! :D

[@smithyno11998]

It is the first ssangyoung that looks decent

[@wtrdogg20]

What a change from the Korando I remember... I think that red color is not the best for the car body lines, may be a silver or chocolate tone color would be better. If it is really cheap for what it is and the equipment included, then no one can complaint for the hard or not too refined plastics in the interior. As long as they are acceptable for the price, it is OK. Remember, It is a Korean brand less popular than Hyundai and Kia, SsangYong is not at the same level of Hyundai now.

[@dvillalba3d]

They used to. But this engine is all Korean. And not a bad one at that, perhaps they did not spent the extra money on silent blocks and soundproofing we are now used to. But it sure can tow and delivers nice performance for such car.

[@aiyka_music]

Carbuyer.... can we have longer more in depth car reviews in the future ??? maybe like at least 8 minutes per video ?!

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Rebecca-you are loved! Interesting option in a saturated segment (the car, that is).

[@gutadin5]

is this car still running today? any issues or parts replaced?

[@ejb_92]

Aww, I like how she subtly points to herself when she mentions about fussy people.

[@revampted]

I won't stop, Rebecca please review an Ford F-350 Dually

[@clarkkent123321]

ILL BUY THE CAR IF SHE COMES WITH IT!!!

[@PedroFTeixeira]

Suspension complaints can be parcially because of the low tire pressure seen at 0:38. It dosn't look too bad, but it's clearly a bit low.

[@whyamionplanetearth69]

My dad has the same korando, but black and limited edition

[@mitsoulas93]

Holy shit! The first SSangYong that is not ugly!!

[@wparo]

I would love to drive this one, looks beautiful and has a huge boot! Not sure about the car though

[@kjm3672]

😐📷

[@damieg82]

Hard and scratchy plastic isn't that difficult to live with once it's nicely grained and the panel gaps are tight and even. Besides it lasts longer than the soft touch stuff, well in my climate anyway (very hot with 95+ humidity, day and night)

[@BackyardSpaceProgram]

Thats a nice boot. I bet it can handle a big load, no pun intended.

[@nishantsirohi123]

@Niko Jeynov I meant the price range and body style. btw thanks for sharing the useful information

[@Hazword]

Korean cars are quite reliable.. Hyundai accent 1998 had it 2 years.. no problems at all.

[@MrThomastomk11]

Why don't you mention its insurance group and how much it would cost to tax. These are important aspects when buying a car

[@onraj9mm]

gotta love them tiny wheels

[@datrumate7375]

Yes, but under SAIC's control, this suv was more military like, now under Mahindra's control, it's more luxury

[@s3mir15]

yeah exept the fact,that this has been launched in europe about a year ago and Mokka is fresh news,so I'd say that Mokka looks like Ssang Yong...

[@EnviroMr]

Why no mention about the resale value and storage when the seats are folded down??

[@westlipha]

I love your car reviews but please can you include estimated prices for the car models being reviewed. Other car reviews I watch on youtube includes this important fact which I presume would be no added work for you to do same.

[@jentypoulose5096]

please bring new korando review....

[@Meatlooaf]

ford kuga any1?

[@thedon008]

Yoda, is that you?! "getting better and better you are"?:))

[@ilwol1004]

First generation korando was released in 1980s. Korando means "Korean can do"

[@molinuexking]

was she talking about the car or herself at the end?

[@zubagvatic]

finally ... the bananas are back!

[@dvillalba3d]

@Rebecca, I expected you recline on the back seats.... Ok, its a cheap car but it has its perks, and considering this one is not present in much more expensive models, of much finer brands, one would expect that it would be shown. At least as a curiosity...

[@catalinIntimidatorul]

it is wrong to match the boots with the jacket. The boots had to be gray or blue.

[@thedon008]

lol...i'm Romanian, yes, so i may be biased, but what exactly do you expect from a Dacia? i would buy a Duster any day as an off-road all round good car for example if i only had the money for it. maybe not the logan, but all around the world, Dacia is selling more and more. Why? cause it's cheap! and pretty much good value for money. not to say the duster is very very reliable.and you should look at Matts new video about the new Dacia Sandero and see what people think of a 6 grand car...

[@vaxokoko]

agree, probably

[@eric29armstrong]

@3:31 Dat model walk

[@jameshong7412]

Im interested to buy actyon Sssangyong, where to find a agent in Singapore

[@aspiringdrummer17]

Someone who needs a vehicle of this type but can't afford its more expensive rivals...

[@00kirbyd]

£2,801 is what you pay in VAT for this, then there's £55 for registration costs, then £135 for road tax.

[@MercedesBnz]

Clearly, you're unaware that Ford DOES NOT sell the F-150 in the UK.

[@junkim1818]

nice car we all know already koreans tech is great!

[@aspiringdrummer17]

It's actually the names of two villages in Azerbaijan and Afghanistan but we won't get too picky...

[@ByDDD]

what a relief...

[@venkat147]

those seats look uncomfortable, and the backseat cup holder looks so shallow if u brake hard the drink's gonna go everywhere. They should include long distance seat comfort as a criteria.

[@dvillalba3d]

The Suzuki SX4 doesn't have a 4x4 lock. So although neither one has great suspension travel or low gears, the Korando has an edge here. Plus it has more presence on the road than the tiny SX4 that's no more that a normal car with sightly raised suspension. Many people buys SUV's for the command view however that's something it wasn't on the design brief of the SX4...

[@mrsociable1288]

Sx4 does have 4wd lock so stop talking rubbish. I put it on lock on icey roads

[@dvillalba3d]

Not many dealerships...

[@dvillalba3d]

Like s3mir15 said... Is just you. The rest of us now that the Korando was penned by the designer of the century a few years back.

[@ExAnimoPortugal]

Is it just me or this car looks like the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka, not the body, but the dimensions and key characteristics.

[@Shortgrauzis]

where is matt??

[@monacoer]

YES

[@Unitedflyier]

What about the crash test?

[@comcite]

3:25 sexy walk

[@dinomariana679]

can you please do the 2014 model !!

[@Stratboy999]

Last week she was 5' 5" - has she shrunk?

[@niceboy60]

I would discard this car straight way , not because I think is not good simply because I think there is no Network Support I mean if your Brake pads get worn , where would you find a replacement ? I mean how many Garages have Ssangyoung parts in stock ?

[@arlofs]

niceguy60 True. AND because Ssangyongs are rubbish.

[@pleasegetmeto1ksubs183]

@@arlofs have ever tested it ?

[@arlofs]

@@pleasegetmeto1ksubs183 Yes. Owned one. Caught on fire with 12,000 km

[@pleasegetmeto1ksubs183]

@@arlofs alright do you still have car?

[@arlofs]

@@pleasegetmeto1ksubs183 No. Insurance bought it back

[@hamster639]

It's a Vauxhall Antara isn't it?

[@benjones4693]

theres a lot of them on roads where i live

[@nikhilkash92]

Love you Miss.Rebecca:)

[@dvillalba3d]

Try getting a moon roof, GPS, or automatic tough...

[@CedricH2]

I'd spend the extra money on a Quashquai just to avoid having to tell peole I drive a Ssangyoung

[@aimanrizal7896]

Ssangyong Rexton Please!!

[@ilwol1004]

Ssang means Double and Yong means Dragon

[@peterfi.]

you could like custom fit those for this much of a price difference... Sorry, can't beat the duster.

[@EssraimanZ]

My auntie has one of these, in asia it's called a Actyon. The previous model Actyon was a kinda of pick-up truck and looked pretty weird/ugly.

[@TheRandomtechreview]

3:40 is it me or is her knees pointing inwards instead of straight o.O

[@Mainiac1221]

I can't believe this is styled by giugiaro

[@nikosunny]

lol to compare Korando with Dacia duster is silly, this car won the Northern European race (7000 km from the North Pole to the Netherlands) against cars like Volvo XC90, Range Rover, Audi Q7, Toyota Land Cruiser, BMW X3 and others.

[@ColteeYT]

Is there the flying glitch?

[@dvillalba3d]

@EssraimanZ in Asia is called Korando C.

[@revampted]

yeah I'm aware, but every time Rebecca makes a new video, I will comment for her to review an Ford F-350, mostly likely it won't happen. but you can't stop a guy for dream right.

[@peterfi.]

Nice try, but the Dacia Duster costs half as much.

[@nishantsirohi123]

this car vs the Dacia duster

[@etbadaboum]

Hyundai was there a few years ago. Wait and see...

[@tclsuperstar]

thumb up if you're just in for the presenter!

[@MilosCsrb]

rexton is not ugly too

[@MrThomastomk11]

*suggestion for your videos from now on. I mean

[@apalsenberg]

Hmm... it does not look bad, but not at all as interesting as the previous/old model (not that that one looked good; but interesting and different it was). ...There is no huge transmission tunnel 'cos the floor is so high up. A tall person sits with his knees all the way i the sky; very uncomfortable on long distances.

[@sicauta]

it looks like mini opel antara

[@sumeetfernandes2882]

2:52 wipers ???????

[@ArturoPerez-si2xk]

Looks so much like Kia Sportage

[@MrRuv10]

0.30 looked likes a nissan juke !

[@seauryakumar]

Just to everyone know SsyangYong is owned by Mahindra. In a couple of years they are gonna transform the brand.

[@travelgram_sl]

Well well, you are wrong 😂

[@sebastiant1268]

why so cute 😍

[@DJzSith]

FUCK! I wanted Matt to review this.

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

2:09 BANANA!!!! she likes them

[@wishdj]

Must be the cold. Rebecca shrunk half an inch compared to the last review.

[@WeItenspinner]

Yeah, the all new TicTacocain...

[@raymfa]

Rebecca:-)

[@chan625]

Its bigger than qashqai and easier to pronounce....but not exactly cooler

[@psw05250]

Poor haters....
