After Mahindra acquired the ailing Ssangyong company, there were many reports that this acquisition would have a good bearing on the Indian SUV market since Ssangyong is a well known SUV maker. The Korando would take on the likes of the Santa Fe and also the Chevy Captiva in the soft roader field. A good quality engineering plus style dialed into it spells success and this is what the Korando plans to do. A 2.0 liter turbo motor sits under the hood of this SUV and it would produce 175 Bhp of power and would be aligned with a 6 speed gearbox which would either be auto or manual. Needless to say, it would be a CKD unit and would be assembled at Mahindra’s facility based in Pune. It would launched in late 2011 or early 2012. Its price is estimated to be between Rs 16-20 lakhs.
