SSANGYONG KORANDO E-MOTION - WAY BETTER THAN IT SHOULD BE!

EV Channels Review

The SsangYong Korando e-Motion defies expectations, presenting a compelling value proposition that significantly outperforms its unfamiliar brand image. While its exterior aesthetics are deemed uninspired, the interior offers surprising space, practicality, and features, including heated and cooled seats, a decent infotainment system with physical controls, and ample storage. The reviewer highlights its cavernous boot and generous rear passenger space, making it an excellent family car or workhorse. Despite some hard-wearing interior materials and a dated design feel, the overall package, especially for its price point (around £31,000 for lower trims), is praised. Performance is described as surprisingly brisk, and the driving experience is comfortable and predictable, with good efficiency and a strong warranty. The primary drawback identified is the significant depreciation expected, a consequence of brand snobbery, which the reviewer believes unfairly penalizes an otherwise competent and affordable electric SUV.
