The History Of Ssang YONG Rodius


The SsangYong Rodius (sold in some regions as the Stavic) is a large MPV/ SUV released in early 2004 by the Korean automaker SsangYong Motor Company. The car was designed by Ken Greenley, former head of the automotive design course at the Royal College of Art in London.

It is available in 7, 9, and 11 seat configurations. The engines are the Mercedes-Benz licenced 3.2L 6-cylinder petrol engine ( 162kW (217hp) & 309N·m (228lb·ft) ) and the 2.7L 5-cylinder common rail diesel engine ( 121kW (162hp) & 342N·m (252lb·ft) ).

The design goal was to capture the essence of a luxury yacht. In 2005 won the dubious distinction of being voted "the ugliest car ever made" by visitors to motoring website CarData, and is described by Top Gear Magazine as a car "that looks like it got bottled in a pub brawl and stitched back together by a blind man".
