South Korean automotive brand SsangYong continues its relaunch journey in Ireland and for Model Year 2021 has a number of commercial vehicle and new car offerings available immediately through its dealer network. New additions and further modifications to the model will be announced during the course of the year.
John McKenna, Country Manager, SsangYong Ireland outlines what’s on offer presently, what’s coming on stream and the timelines involved.
January 2021
SsangYong Korando 2 Seat Commercial starting at €21,995 plus VAT.
“The Korando makes a confident, contemporary statement, while maintaining the good-looking chunky lines first penned by Giugiaro. This model builds on its well-known abilities – towing, load-space, value, and warranty.”
All-new SsangYong Tivoli Plus in 1.5 Turbo Petrol and 1.6 Turbo Diesel, starting at €22,995 and in March the all new Tivoli Plus 1.2 Turbo Petrol.
“SsangYong Tivoli offers the perfectly capable all-round compact SUV with smart driving technology and advanced safety systems.”
Arrival of the first of the all-new SsangYong Rexton in a 2-Seat Commercial and in July the all-new Rexton will be launched as a 5 Seat Business Edition/Utility Vehicle.
“The flagship SsangYong Rexton, 4×4 magazine’s ‘4×4 of The Year’ for three consecutive years, has a powerful 2.2 litre turbo diesel engine, offers a 3.5 tonne towing capacity, so is perfect for those who tow large caravans and trailers or need rugged off-road capability.”
March will also see the launch of the Tivoli XLV in 1.5 Turbo Petrol and 1.6 Turbo Diesel, plus the introduction of the facelift Musso and Musso Grand.
“The SsangYong Musso is a multi-award-winning, extremely competent, multi-purpose truck with SsangYong values to the core – comprehensively equipped.”
And then later in Quarter 3, 2021 we will see the launch of SsangYong’s first full electric vehicle (EV), based on the Korando.
