SsangYong Korando e-Motion - It's Not About Emotions (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

[@laupakhin]

I find it interesting that a smaller manufacturer like SsangYong have been able to release a relatively decent new EV, especially given their ownership woes. It really goes to show how much the Japanese carmakers are dragging their feet at the moment.
Also, two videos again this week Marek? You must be the hardest working car reviewer in Poland. Time to ask the boss for a raise 😆

[@TK-kq7pg]

SsssssssangYong is quite a big player in Korea.

[@davidmarshall5596]

Excellent review as always sir..not sure this brings anything new to the market 🤔 but it's all about choice & there's certainly plenty of that on offer in today's car market 👍

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Well said!

[@emptyMan0]

I guess "unobtrusive" is the ultimate compliment you can give to a modern SUV 😀

[@rc7059]

Thanks for releasing your videos in English, I really enjoy your entertaining and honest reviews - my favourite car reviews on UA-cam, I’m from the UK and I prefer your reviews to anything else on UA-cam

[@MarekDrivesENG]

It's my pleasure!
I noticed some UK-based reviewers have done the Korando e-Motion a while back. Have you seen any of these cars in the wild?

[@rc7059]

@@MarekDrivesENG hi, I haven’t seen any on the road yet funnily enough, starting to see a few kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson (I have recently got a new Tucson hybrid which I am enjoying) and one or two of the new Niros, but no new Korandos yet.. seeing a lot of MGs, all types however

[@marcush2220]

This car feels old even if it new, allso all that piano black panels will be scratch like in no time! But the revive is perfect as always Marek! 👏

[@sha22276]

At least in the UK, The petrol and diesel version have been on the market for a couple years .....but with minor exterior changes. So you are absolutely right

[@arnoldtabor3767]

I think they'd have done well to add like a Kia to add a small front storage area but you can't have anything with a value for money budget brands

[@MotorTorq_ZA]

Hyundai and Kia are what Korean cars are like today. Ssangyongs are like the Korean cars back in 2000s

[@freestick19822000]

Great work 👏

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Thank you!

[@Ambienfinity]

Interesting option .... if discounted, I guess! Great review, as ever, Marek!

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Indeed!

[@TheAllMightyGodofCod]

What do I think?
Physical buttons... Ugly as hell.... I want it!!!
At least it has a personality. Shame the motorway range is so bad or I would seriously consider it!

[@andlb9037]

This car goes just in par with review** and comarison.

[@TEVAssociation]

Hyundai Kia Genesis doing very well here in Canada ..
.maybe they should import Ssangyong evs as well ?

[@whitewalker9622]

SsangYong is very well known in europe, but not for the best of reasons...

[@gravinvankippenbout9266]

I get the feeling that Marek is struggling with this one.... can't blame him to be honest. It's like asking a greengrocer to explain cellery... Yes, it will fill your stomach, and yes it has some nutrions... I guess...

[@vikhneshar104]

That looks very close to the Mahindra XUV400

[@MarekDrivesENG]

I think the XUV400 is more like a Tivoli in terms of size, but yes, they do look rather similar.

[@Da_StormtroopeR]

No so bad as I awaited. 👍

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Yes, that's the prevailing impression :)

[@nathanwolf5547]

It seems like an expensive option compared to the MG ZS & 4

[@MarekDrivesENG]

I don't know. We don't get these here :(

[@BOSS-zs2rt]

讚！

[@AHarker100]

Think I would that one a miss.

[@kevinn1158]

Not available in Canada.... Thank you SSangYong. I do enjoy seeing vehicles I will probably never see anyways. What do I think. It's boring and homely.
Thanks Marek. Thumbs up for Marek, thumbs down for SSangYong

[@RA-jv4fd]

top trim with steel wheels??

[@TK-kq7pg]

Silver alloys, obviously.

[@stuartbear6126]

You seem to be getting a bit e-motional in this video Marek

[@MarekDrivesENG]

I had to hold back not to do the locoemotion dance ;)

[@extreme8808]

When someone says SsangYong, I immediately think of ugly cars, but . . dare I say this looks acceptable. Not pretty, just acceptable. The first SsangYong you can live with, without the shame of driving it in broad daylight 😅

[@MarekDrivesENG]

I recall seeing a concept of theirs at some car show, and it was even more acceptable. Unfortunately they tend to dilute their design.

[@robertvoicu5203]

I’m curious, is anyone interested in reviewing this car?

[@MarekDrivesENG]

I haven't seen many reviews. So either this is going to be a hit video, or nobody will give a toss :)

[@robertvoicu5203]

@@MarekDrivesENG you’re probably right. But there is a lot of work from behind this review. The question is then, is it worthwhile?

[@MarekDrivesENG]

@Robert Voicu let me put it this way: if I only reviewed the cars I was actually interested in, I'd publish a video every couple of months :)

[@10mbc]

Virtual Cockpit you say? :)

[@MarekDrivesENG]

I guess that's what it's called kinda sorta.

[@RaduB.]

This interior is the worse crime scene ever... if you're the criminal.
I suppose the piano black has its own advantages.
Otherwise a pretty unimpressive car with an outrageous price...
Oh, by the way, e-motion sounds better than e-mobility. 🙂

[@MarekDrivesENG]

🤣

[@rabi0ne]

MG ZS EV is way better and cheaper...

[@MarekDrivesENG]

Probably, but we don't get it in Poland.
