The newcomer is priced from £16,995 with the Korean company, which is owned by the Indian conglomerate Mahindra & Mahindra, setting its eyes on the likes of the Hyundai ix35, Kia Sportage, Mitsubishi ASX and Nissan Qashqai.
The new Korando is the production version of the 2009 C200 Aero Concept designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro’s ItalDesign. It is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine with 175HP and 360 Nm of torque, which emits 157 g of CO2 per km. It will be available in front- and four-wheel-drive versions with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
