2014 SsangYong Rodius
SsangYong has unveiled its all-new Rodius MPV, which will also be known as the Stavic, Rodius Turismo or Korando Turismo in other markets.
The design is meant to create a ‘sporting while at the same time luxurious and dignified tone’. Whether that tough remit has been fully achieved is questionable, but at least the styling is an improvement on the current model’s.
Anyway, the main concern for most prospective owners is probably interior space, not the looks. And they won’t be disappointed by the Rodius, because the cabin features a foldable second row and a removable third row of seats. As a result, seven adults, lots of cargo or a combination of the two can be carried.
Just one engine is going to be available, the 2.0 litre e-XDi200 turbo diesel that develops 152 bhp (114 kW / 155 PS) with 360 Nm (265 lb/ft) of peak torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox, although a five-speed manual transmission from Mercedes-Benz and an all-wheel drive system will also be offered.
European sales of the 2014 SsangYong Rodius are due to begin later this year. Prices have yet to be announced.
