SsangYong has been trying to phase out the distinctive looks of its cars, which some might describe as ugly. The return to normal was first seen on the inoffensive Actyon SUV, beofre they facelifted away the SsangYong Actyon Sports pick-up truck’s helmet head. Now, the new SsangYong Stavic MPV gets a similar opportunity to rid itself of divisive looks.
Presented in its domestic market as the Korando Turismo (it was also called Rodius in other markets), the new Stavic is a large MPV, with the option of nine, ten or eleven seats, and can carry up to 3,240 litres of cargo. Three trim levels will be available in Korea: Luxury Touring (LT), Grand Touring (GT) and Royal Touring (RT).
The big Stavic (5,130 mm long with a three-metre wheelbase) is available with an e-XDi 200 2.0 litre turbodiesel (155 PS, 360 Nm) engine paired to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a five-speed Mercedes-Benz-sourced automatic. In Korea and Russia, the MPV can also be had with a 3.2 litre six-pot petrol engine, and all-wheel drive.
The SsangYong Stavic is much more conventional looking now, but is it better looking? You be the judge.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Probably this new Stavic and Savvy share the same designer…???
SsangYong really make ugly cars. Nowadays nobody buys them. The ones you see on the road was because everyone got excited with the Mercedes engines. Now they realise, Japanese engines are far superior than Mercedes engine which ALWAYS have electrical faults. SsangYong might as well close down!
Why people don’t buy Ssangyong anymore becuase it looses the reliability race with Hyundai/Kia.
SsangYong is far worse than any Korean and Malaysian cars.
False. Ssangyong is more reliable than Hyundai and Kia. You may google reliability surveys done by credible sources.
Japanese engine far superior than mercedes’ engine?? Lol!!! Bro, go do more research please!! The japs are far behind the germans
Kahkahkah… Go and the proper mercs bro.. Don’t buy the recond one lah.. japan car nowhere near the continental cars… Not even close..
now it looks like a … … … china made design.
well.. this is the original korean design..
Actually, the 1st gen Stavic is no longer ugly after its mid-life facelift. In any case, its main selling point was the proven Merc-Benz turbodiesel engine & gearbox, the one used in Merc E270. But this new e-xdi engine, is it korean?
Ssangyong is truly the Korean version of Proton.
Will buy this MPV if I got 3 wives.
all wife share the same MPV?
if u have money for one MPV, then better create 3 children then ask them to share space at the back while u driving.more meaningfull
side profile look like toyota unser.huh.
Chery J11 suv looks much better.
Now this is really design going backwards in time… I like Rexton (good modern looking), dislike Stavic (they started to lose design direction), and hate this new Stavic (designer totally lost!).
Anyway i was referring to the older Rexton, much better looking
somehow indian designs better looking car
good thing hyundai-kia paid european folks to do the styling now
So this how a actual Korean car looks like. LOL… No wonder KIA need to make Peter Schreyer president to keep him.
Keranda? haha i like.
That is so ugly even the designer wont want to be seen dead in it.
a waste of earth’s precious resources in making such junks… some humans are really plain stupid and dumb… sadding…
At least this is still designed by Korean. Korean car should be designed by korean. Malaysian car should always be designed by Malaysian. So as Japanese car and US car. I respect only those that still insist of having their own identity, at least they are still proud of themselves.
so korean fanbois y u no like this xD
Why don’t Ssangyong and Proton merger up their companies? Match in heaven lah.
one word – WEIRD
Korando tourismo = keranda tu ok boh?
What ssangyong?
I honestly thought the new stavic is much better looking than its predecessor. thus, making it agreeable with this article’s headline: ditches shocking for conventional looks
I couldn’t agree with King42 more. Ssangyong vehicles are much more reliable than hyundai/kia, albeit tougher too
If price and spec same as before it’s an affordable large MPV lor..
Better bu New Improve Stavic than Driving
an old Ferrari with Long-term Season wife…
Stavic Is Numero Uno!!
toyota mpv look better ?yah ,i agree 99
but do u knw how is it look like before cleaning , painting , servicing …
although tis car design really nt good @ looking but at least u r buying a new car and not a recond car.
300k buy old car n normal looking better i choose range rover evoque.
What is the price in Malaysia otr
sorry i mean new Stavic Turismo on the road Price.
Thanks
RM118K
This is mpv or mini bus? Rapid kl mau ka?
Tis car is just an ordinary mpv
It may have good fuel consumption, but it may seem lagging with a small engine.
i bought this car recently.it is economical. managed to clocked 751km for 70liters of diesel at average speed of 120km/hr….meaning around 18 sens per km.it is very spacious and powerful. to be honest if you guys searching for affordable mpv with large spaces don’t forget to try this behemoth…it’s fun to drive. but remember always watch your back!!!(this vehicle is longer than we commonly drives on)unless you’re professional bus or lorry driver :)
Was laughing reading those ortodox comments. R U the user of this SS Stavic? I bought one last year due to one main reason..space! and well package with the superb realibility and power. And the best price in the market with some more-green engine. Driving KL-Cameron-Taiping-Penang fr four days with full tank and reach KL with still quater tank…amazing. Do u know they are using Mercedes engine with Daimler-Chrysler gear box? Superb combination. Ugly look? You r driving the car and what the hell about look when u cannot see while diving? Japanese engine..some more claim better than germans? hahahahaha Gila ka?
