      What’s the thoughts on the added karando. I like the look of it in the vinnie Jones adverts but with the AP does it represent good value compared to the specs, anyone seen it it person.

        APs seem pricey? BMW X1 seems cheap in comparison.

          For a budget car the APs are extortionate, I’d say “why buy a ssangyong when have a”, then name a hundred better cars

            I quite like them, not budget feeling inside at all, certainly a long leap forward from their last model. Not sure about the 1.6 diesel, needs more poke I think, pity they dropped the old 2.2.

            The AP is high, it should be the Ultimate model rather than the 2wd Pioneer.

            7 year warranty too, not that we need it.

              Not too bad if you like SUVs with lots of twiddly styling bits. VAG’s one are better to look at IMHO. But it is dreadfully underpowered – max 160bhp for a thing weighing nearly two tonnes, well, says it all really!

                I don’t know if it’s just the photos but that hatch door doesn’t half look small aperture wise.

                  I can’t see many people ordering one of these.

                    How many of you commenting have actually seen one in the flesh or driven one? I have a vested interest in them as I sell them but all I would say is TRY one before forming an opinion please.

                      No need to see one John, I’ve seen the AP for auto version @£2,799 so for myself its a none starter and won’t even bother to put it on my short list in the first place. ?

                        Absolutely agree but perhaps the comments here are  mainly cost related rather than quality related. To buy a 2.2D SE is less than £17,000. For Motability, with the AP cost plus the lease cost, the total for three years comes to nearly £12,000 for the Ventura. The car itself looks amazing in the adverts but surely Ssangyong must realise that to open the floodgates, it needs to entice us with lower AP’s to kick start the revolution. When you consider the Tiguan starts at an AP of £649!

                        ? I will be remembered for nothing but had great fun doing it ?

                          the issue i have is theres only one auto with a huge ap.

                          many on motability need an automatic vehicle easy to get in and out of and a reasonable ap.

                          it just doesnt work on many levels.

                          same thing with dacia.

                          next time round i will be seriously considering mg. they have electric,auto and reasonable ap. £382 for the exclusive on wpms.

                            £1,900 AP for a £20k SUV?  Jeez!

                                Buy one that’s a year old and you would only be paying the same as the entire 3 year lease plus AP, doesn’t make any financial sense to get one on the scheme.

                                  I wouldn’t even consider it with those AP’s.

                                    Chinese marketing will have no understanding of the need to assist disabled people. It’s not something that is part of their national thought process.

                                        Ssangyong are Korean, not Chinese. Used to be Dong-A Motor (stop sniggering at the back).

                                        Owned by Mahindra Group, so we might get to see some rebadged cars from India like the XUV.
