The name Korando is a contraction of "Korea Can Do". The third generation Korando, codenamed the SsangYong C200 began production in late 2010. It was the first car to be released as part of SsangYong's revised lineup. It had slightly longer wheelbase than its rivals, the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. The new Korando was well received from a design perspective with many reviewers noting design improvements over previous models. Interior space too, was praised, as was the all-new monocoque chassis. It was the last vehicle to be produced before Giugiaro entered the VW group in 2011.
