New Car: 2012 Ssangyong Korando LE

Ssangyong has launched a limited edition version of the Korando, dubbed the Ssangyong Korando LE. Based on the 2WD entry-level S model, features of the new car include 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler and tinted windows. Three colour options are available and include Vitamin Red, Grand White or Space Black.

Inside, the Korando LE gets heated front seats, a leather steering wheel and gearlever, cruise control and parking sensors.

Power comes from the firm’s 2.0-litre diesel unit, which produces 173bhp and 266lb ft of torque. On the combined cycle, the Korando LE achieves 47.1mpg, while emitting 157g/km Co2. Power is transferred to the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.

Availability of the Korando LE is limited to 150 units and prices start from £17,995 – a £1k premium over the S variant.
