SsangYong has been on a rocky road since its Australian relaunch in 2018, but that doesn't necessarily mean its products are subpar or not worthy of consideration. As more brand's move upmarket, this makes SsangYong - and its Korando mid-size SUV - even more appealing, so should you consider one?

The SsangYong Korando is an all-new vehicle, upsized to within a whisker of the Toyota RAV4's length and wheelbase, yet is wider and taller to boot. Here's the interesting bit. The mid-range ELX is $30,990. Driveaway. With a seven-year warranty. And turbo. And automatic. The cheapest RAV4 auto is $34,695, and that's before on-road costs.Are we missing something special here? Time to find out.

This could be the perfect-sized electric SUV for many adventurous families, but will it come to Australia?
