Ssangyong Motor "First Electric Vehicle, Korando E-Motion, Begins Export to Europe"

On the 15th, the SsangYong Korando e-Motion is being loaded onto a ship at Pyeongtaek Port.

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] SsangYong Motor announced on the 16th that it held a shipment ceremony for its first electric vehicle, the Korando e-Motion, and is strengthening its global market strategy.

The initial batch of approximately 200 Korando e-Motion units, shipped from Pyeongtaek Port on the 15th, will be exported to European regions including Germany and the United Kingdom. Sales in local markets will begin in November.

The Korando e-Motion embodies the continuation of the Korando brand value and implies a commitment to customers' emotions by combining electric vehicle (EV) technology with dynamic motion.

The Korando e-Motion is South Korea's first compact mid-size SUV electric vehicle, offering a spacious and practical interior suitable as a family car. Its overall design incorporates streamlined lines that minimize air resistance, pursuing styling optimized for urban driving.

To maximize energy efficiency, SsangYong Motor applied an aluminum hood (engine cover) and a sealed radiator grille for the first time, optimizing weight and center of gravity. Equipped with a 61.5kWh battery, it offers a maximum driving range of 339 km per charge (WLTP European standard).

A company official stated, “We plan to actively respond to the global market, which is being reshaped around eco-friendly vehicles, by expanding our electric vehicle lineup including the Korando e-Motion. We will secure future competitiveness by not only expanding our eco-friendly vehicle lineup but also discovering new growth engines such as new business models.”
