Ssangyong Korando 2.9 TD 2000

The 2000 Ssangyong Korando 2.9 TD is a compact off-road vehicle from the period when the South Korean brand SsangYong gained international fame in Europe. The Korando came in the 1990s and early 2000s as a three-door SUV with a distinct, recognizable design. In this generation, the model was based on technology that stemmed from SsangYong's cooperation with Mercedes-Benz, which contributed to the brand's positioning in the diesel and 4x4 segments.

This Ssangyong Korando 2.9 TD 2000 is equipped with the 2.9 liter turbo diesel engine. During this period, SsangYong was known for employing robust diesel technology combined with a ladder chassis design, which set the Korando apart from more passenger car-oriented SUVs. The model came with both manual and automatic transmissions, depending on the trim and market.

The 2000 Ssangyong Korando 2.9 TD was positioned as an accessible off-road vehicle with an emphasis on functionality and a relatively compact body compared to larger SUVs of the era. In the Netherlands, the model remained a less common sight, contributing to its distinctive character within the range of off-road vehicles from the early 2000s. This example is an original car delivered in the Netherlands.

In SsangYong's model range, the Korando occupied an important place as a compact 4x4 alongside the larger Musso. The combination of its distinctive design, diesel powertrain and traditional chassis construction makes the 2000 Ssangyong Korando 2.9 TD a representative example of SUV development at the turn of the century.
