BTM August 2012 103 Motorcity, the sole distributor of SsangYong in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has launched the latest SsangYong Korando, an iconic model which is an elegant symbol among SUVs. “We are delighted to introduce the new Korando from SsangYong in Bahrain. It has already made its mark in other international markets and we are sure that it will be an instant hit in Bahrain, also,” commented Bashar Darkazalli, Motorcity CEO, at the launch. “With Korando living up to its development motto, ‘Live your life to the full however with dignity’, and Motorcity offering its committed after-sales service, our customers are certain to get the best of both worlds.” The Korando is available with a 2.0-litre petrol engine, generating 150 hp, which complies with the EURO5 emission standards. It is currently available in manual transmission, which gives the driver the ability to enjoy the thrill of a sportier driving sensation. The automatic transmission version will be made available in the coming months. SsangYong is very focused on the active and passive safety of the driver and the passengers and thus Korando is equipped with an electronic stability programme (ESP) which prevents wheels from slipping and the driver from under-steering or over-steering. Incorporated into the ESP are the anti-slip relation, automatic brake differential, anti-lock brake, active rollover protection, hill start assist and emergency stop signal systems to monitor vehicle and road conditions and intervene when a potentially dangerous situation is detected. Korando’s remarkable design and exquisite workmanship hidden behind its dynamic silhouette captivates the viewers’ attention and redefines the personality of an individual. The high quality chrome-coated radiator grille, all-around tinted glass, dual tail pipes and headlamps harmonise with its dynamic lines. The rear combination lamps show its unique refined curves, and a variety of colours, for both the interior and exterior of the car, are some of the features the Korando possesses. The SUV also comes with advanced and convenient features such as a dual remote keyless entry system, parking aid system, audio control on steering wheel, six-speaker audio system with CD (MP3), USB memory slot and auxiliary port, Bluetooth, tinted glass, lumbar support on driver seat, cruise control, trip computer, front fog lamps and a stylish silver roof rail while sunroof is optional.E Call 17 736-222 or visit the A new SsangYong hits the roads of the Kingdom with the launch of the latest SUV from the Korean car manufacturer.
