They've changed distributors, cut prices and altered the lineup and quite possibly, better things will come SsangYong's way this year. First thing of interest under Ateco Automotive stewardship is the arrival of a petrol Korando small SUV. Previously, all SsangYongs sold here were diesel.

VALUE

Better yet is the price for the front wheel drive model which starts st $23,990, add two grand for the six-speed auto that we drove last week. There's no all wheel drive petrol model but most people don't want or need it and like the lower purchase price of two wheel (front) drive models.

Standard kit on the S model is pretty good with aircon, cruise, trip computer, heated side windows, power ancillaries, front and rear fog lamps, rear park sensors decent audio and Bluetooth connectivity included. A reverse camera would be handy as would reach adjust on the steering wheel.
