Purchasable in the high 20 million KRW range including subsidies, 'Cost-effective'

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] SsangYong Motor announced on the 10th that it will begin pre-orders for its first electric vehicle, the compact sports utility vehicle (SUV) Korando e-Motion, starting from the 11th.

Scheduled for official release in March, the Korando e-Motion is SsangYong's first electric vehicle built on the Korando platform. The selling price is 40,565,000 KRW for the E3 trim and 45,987,000 KRW for the E5 trim. With electric vehicle tax benefits applied, the prices drop to 38,800,000 KRW for the E3 and 43,900,000 KRW for the E5. Additionally, with government and local government subsidies, the purchase price is expected to be in the high 20 million KRW range.

The exterior design of the Korando e-Motion pursues an urban driving style by combining bold volume with aerodynamic streamlined lines. The bumper inspired by a shark fin, the sealed radiator grille, and the simple rear lamps complete the high-tech image of the electric SUV, while the sleek side lines create a sporty image.

Inside, the combination of a 12.3-inch full digital cluster, a 9-inch Infocon AVN, and Infinity mood lamps simultaneously pursues advanced technology and sophisticated sensibility. It also adds convenience by applying a Smart Touch Panel (STPM) that allows operation of the headlamps from outside the vehicle without a vehicle key or smartphone, and checking the high-voltage battery charging status.

Furthermore, the Korando e-Motion offers an attractive electrification experience by equipping a driver-friendly and easy-to-operate Shift-By-Wire (SBW) electronic transmission system and a high-efficiency, high-output drive system. It delivers powerful performance with a motor output of 140 kW and maximum torque of 36.7 kg·m. It also features advanced driving safety assistance systems including Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (IACC), part of the Deep Control system, and eight airbags. The body structure is robust, with 74% of ultra-high-strength and high-strength steel applied, achieving Euro NCAP 5-Star safety ratings.

The Korando e-Motion offers a cargo space of 551 liters (VDA standard), making it the largest among domestic electric SUVs. It can simultaneously accommodate four golf bags and four travel suitcases.

Meanwhile, to commemorate the launch of its first electric SUV model, SsangYong Motor will provide customers who place pre-orders with a portable charging cable capable of 220V charging in emergencies and a charging pickup & delivery service voucher (5 times).
