The Daewoo Korando is one of those distinctive four wheel drives that blends practical off road hardware with an unusual international story. Sold under the Daewoo badge after SsangYong came under Daewoo ownership in the late 1990s, the Korando retained its rugged ladder frame construction, short wheelbase stance and available part time four wheel drive system, making it a capable compact SUV for tracks, campsites and daily use alike. Its styling was famously penned with input from British designer Ken Greenley, giving it a bold, rounded look that still stands out from the boxier off roaders of its era.

Under the bonnet, many Korando models used proven Mercedes Benz derived petrol or diesel engines, which is a key part of the vehicle’s appeal among enthusiasts who appreciate durable mechanicals in a compact package. In Australia, the Korando has often attracted buyers looking for something different from the usual Japanese and Korean SUV crowd, especially those wanting a tough recreational vehicle without unnecessary complexity. Its name is said to come from “Korea Can Do”, a neat piece of trivia that captures the ambitious spirit behind the model.
