DAEWOO KORANDO
The Daewoo Korando is a compact SUV that was produced by the South Korean manufacturer Daewoo from 1999 to 2003. It was available in both three-door and five-door body styles, and was powered by a range of petrol and diesel engines.
The Korando was based on the same platform as the Daewoo Musso, and shared many of its mechanical components. However, the Korando was designed to be more compact and manoeuvrable than the Musso, making it better suited for urban use.
The Korando's exterior styling was characterised by its sharp lines and angular panels. The front end featured a large grille with integrated headlights, while the rear end featured a pair of wrap-around taillights. The Korando also had a high ground clearance and a rugged suspension system, which made it capable of tackling rough terrain.
Inside, the Korando featured a spacious and well-equipped cabin. The dashboard was laid out in a simple and straightforward manner, with all of the controls within easy reach of the driver. The Korando also had a generous amount of headroom and legroom, making it comfortable for both driver and passengers.
The Korando was available with a range of petrol and diesel engines. The petrol engines included a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and a 2.3-litre five-cylinder engine. The diesel engines included a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and a 2.9-litre five-cylinder engine.
All of the engines were paired with a five-speed manual transmission, and some models were also available with a four-speed automatic transmission. The Korando was also available with a choice of two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
The Korando was a popular choice for buyers who wanted a compact and affordable SUV. It was praised for its ruggedness, its spacious interior, and its good value for money. However, the Korando was also criticised for its lack of refinement and its poor fuel economy.
The Korando was discontinued in 2003, but it remains a popular choice for used car buyers. It is a reliable and affordable SUV that is perfect for those who need a vehicle that can handle both on-road and off-road driving.
