Jasus!! É mesmo grande. Nem uma Renault Master, p.e., parece ter tanto espaço. [

SsangYong Turismo 2.0 EX Auto first drive Review | Autocar
What is it?
The SsangYong Turismo is the kind of car to give new meaning to the phrase ‘a lot of metal for the money’. The artist formerly known as ‘Rodius’, this giant seven-seater is MPV, load-lugger and 4x4 all rolled into a package that is seriously cheap.
A fully loaded example will cost you less than a high-end VW Golf – and yet it’s longer than most large executive saloons, has the ground clearance to match many medium-sized SUVs, and even comes with a low-range transfer ‘box. An entry-level one will cost you only £18,000 at UK launch in August 2013.
Now under the auspices of Indian car-industry power Mahindra, SsangYong has had a chequered recent corporate history, but its brand identity remains the same: this is Korea’s 4x4 specialist.
The Rexton SUV is probably its best-known export in the UK, followed by the smaller Korando, but expansion plans are moving along to launch a similar model in the European ‘Crossover B’ segment to rival the Skoda Yeti and Vauxhall Mokka.
It has taken the decision to drop the ‘Rodius’ name for this generation, understandably given that the outgoing car’s styling earned it a reputation as one of the most unfortunate-looking new cars on the road. Which it thoroughly deserved, by the way. The new version, however, is something of a dramatic improvement. This is still too large and high-sided a car to ever look attractive, but more conventional window and light treatments now at least make it look normal.
What is it like?
The car’s cabin is vast: big enough for two individual chairs in the second row, generously provided with head- and legroom, and a three-seater third-row bench that, even in place, leaves a boot the size of a small estate car’s: 870-litres up to the roof. The seats in the second and third rows are removable, so you can make more than 3000 litres of storage in the car if you need to. Meanwhile, up front, the driving position is comfortable, and the material quality robust, if a bit rudimentary.
The centrally placed instruments aren’t the easiest to read, and the row of warning lights immediately behind the large steering wheel has the potential to confuse. But apart from that, everything works fine, and can be found where you’d expect it. The top-spec EX-trim car comes with heated seats, satellite navigation and cruise control.
The Turismo’s platform survives from the Rodius. Acquired from Daimler Chrylser many moons ago, it originally served under a late 1990s Mercedes E-class, and is also used for SsangYong’s flagship saloon the Chairman. Suspension is via steel coils, with double wishbones at the front and multi-links at the rear. For this generation, however, SsangYong has dumped the old Mercedes five-cylinder turbodiesel engine and opted instead for its own 153bhp four-cylinder alternative. It mounts longitudinally and drives either the rear wheels, or all four, depending on which trim you go for.
Transmissions are a choice of six-speed manuals for the bottom two models in the range, or a five-speed automatic for the top two.
This feels like an enormous car on the road: there’s never any getting away from that. Not only long but tall, the Turismo suffers with generous body roll and not-so-generous roadholding. Added to that, it steers very slowly and with a little inconsistency of weight at times that borders on the awkward.
But the driving experience here is still closer to that of a Land Rover Discovery than your average panel van. Soft suspension tuning makes for plenty of ride compliance, albeit won at the expense of much in the way of wheel control, and mechanical refinement from the 2.0-litre diesel is quite creditable. The automatic gearbox shifts away smoothly, and so as long as you drive the car as you’ll naturally be inclined to – ie gently and entirely without gusto – the Turismo performs its function well enough.
The transfer case for the transmission has modes for two and four-wheel drive in high-range, and four-wheel-drive low range. We didn’t get the chance to test the car’s performance off-road, but while the ramp angles are all below 20 degrees, it’s got more than 170mm of ground clearance. Which is as much as many so-called off-roaders, and more than enough to deal with farm tracks and the like.
Should I buy one?
Despite the effective visual makeover, nobody’s going to a buy a Turismo for any other reason than necessity. If you’ve no call in your life for seven adult-sized seats, luggage space to spare and occasional rough-road suitability at a cut price, this isn’t the car for you.
But those who do need any of the above have no longer to feel quite so sheepish about ownership of this car: it’s perfectly competent, functional and quite sensationally good value. The 100,000-mile five-year warranty will even cover commercial use: good news for airport taxi drivers, that.
Price circa £24,000; 0-62mph tbc; Top speed 108mph; Economy 35.0mpg; CO2 212g/km; Kerb weight 2104kg; Engine 4 cyls, 1998cc, turbodiesel; Power 153bhp at 3400-4000rpm; Torque 266lb ft at 1500-2800rpm; Gearbox 5-spd automatic

Pois também fiquei a pensar "que raio, não posso conduzir isto ou já sou eu que não sei as regras".[

Ontem vinha eu na ponte 25 de abril quando vejo uma viatura branca de matrícula espanhola que me parecia um Opel Mokka mas algo diferente, quando me aproximo é que vejo que se tratava de um Korando. Desconhecia esta última versão que por sinal até está engraçado.
Agora que a Dacia desbravou o preconceito de marcas low cost, não era má ideia trazerem novamente a SsangYong para Portugal.

Essa traseira é cópia do Ford Explorer.
Ao ver as imagens, pensei no mesmo. [
