Ssangyong Korando Set For India Launch
South Korean SUV specialist Ssangyong, now owned by India's Mahindra and Mahindra, is all set to have a greater presence in the Indian SUV market. Mahindra is planning to launch a second Ssangyong SUV in India following the Rexton. The new model being considered for India is the Ssangyong Korando premium SUV.
