SsangYong Korando tow car test
Переглядів 21 тис.4 роки тому
The SsangYong Korando has been a hugely popular tow car for many years. The 2019 model is much improved in all sorts of ways, but it's lighter, less powerful and more expensive than the old Korando. Does it still have what it takes to appeal to caravanners?

The Practical Caravan 2017 Coachman Laser 675 review
I think the removable seats make it even more attractive. Its very versatile that way.
NO
I prefer the 2012 interior.. seems to have gone more basic.
Such flawed reviews
In the 60s they towed heavy vans with 48 bhp
This trailer is too heavy for most CX 5 models. Max tow is 2000 lbs.
What about the 1.6 diesel in the same car with the same weight caravan?
Vegan leather? You mean plastic....
What year is this mazda3 and transmission? Also is this Front wheel drive?
so let me get this right. you pulled. 1256 kg × 2.20462 lb/kg = 2763.45 pounds with a normally aspirated 2.0 liter Mazda3? I've been looking at the US versions Mazda3s wondering about towing around 1000 to 1500 lbs sparingly wondering if it's a good decision?
Petrol Hybrid or Diesel?
Great stuff Dan. Nice and simple, clear instructions
I have sharan 1.4 tsi...w... Practical caravan.? thanks
This is rubbish . Site fees have gone right up average site is around £6 more than a private site and it costs you £53 for the privilege of paying more for your campsites .we certainly won't be rejoining
Awesome review! I own a ecboost ecosport and was wondering if i would be able to tow a 650kg trailer on motorways! Sounds like it wont be any problem! Thanks for the review
That was very cardboardy.
As a driver of articulated trucks for much of my working life, I scratch my head at these tutorials that show keenness to bend the trailer ‘blind side’ on. Whenever I had the opportunity to reverse by bending the combination to the right, I would certainly take that choice of the two. This means simply looking at where the right rear wheels are heading for, by leaning out of the window, steering with my left hand and with my right arm leaning on the window frame. The bad choice of ‘blind side-on’ as it’s known to truck drivers, is called so, because you have no direct view of what’s happening except that tiny view from left mirror glass. So, if you can, always begin by passing with your parking space to the right, look deep to the back of the space and take a photographic memory of whether there are any obstacles around or at the rear, then draw-up to a stop some distance past the bay (but always give yourself a good distance to play with), then reverse slowly, keeping up a steady momentum. The ‘turning the wheel the correct ways’ part of it, is just going to take time to practice and develop a natural instinct. Don’t be frustrated. Anyone who says they got it straight away and never had a forgetful moment since, is just not being honest. To start turning, first turn the wheel a certain amount until the combination begins to bend, then while moving backwards with the combination still bent, turn the steering wheel back to centre. As you watch where the trailer is looking to land, if it needs more or less steering, then you simply add a little more right or left hand down as required, but then always return the steering wheel to centre. Never hold the steering wheel fully locked for more than a short while when reversing. This will lead to having to ‘over-work’ by steering frantically to go from lock-to-lock over and over. Remember, long trailers are easier to reverse, because they turn slowly. Short trailers ‘whip’ around, sometimes faster than you can straighten-up the whole combination. I would recommend going out to a large, empty parking area and having a practice before setting of on holiday.
Imagine getting beaten by your younger, much-uglier sibling.
Fantastic outfit, it brings back so many good memories 😀
What towing mirrors did you use?
Tests for the rich and famous or... the rich aand retired😄
I tow with the 200ps diesel shooting brake, it’s a very stable and capable tow car
Hi, just noticed your video on Caravan pipes. I’ve got an Adria caravan with shower cubicle at the rear and only a plug hole in one corner of the tray.. so when levelling my caravan, I have to make it slightly lower at the front and one side slightly higher then at least the water gathers into the corner of the shower tray. One other problem of course in doing that is that my kitchen is at the front of my caravan so that water has to try and go uphill slightly, but I’m living with that. The waste pipe they use is no more than an inch in diameter. Looking at your video. Would you agree if I replaced it underneath the caravan with standard Plumbing pipe is the thinking the wider the pipe will give me a better flow.Thanks mike
Mahindra - please bring Rexton W new model in India by 2024...
Best car Rexton W.. powerfull engine than Toyota fortuner..I have one with me here in India.. Rexton W need bit more modern interior design and need more smooth engine refinements.. eagerly waiting for new model Of it comes to Indian market...
Hi Nigel, I love this video. I'm a songwriter and I've written a song about Wexford and some of the footage of you and your caravan would be a lovely addition to the whole feel of the video. I wonder could I have your permission to use this footage in my video. I would give credit in the video description when posting on youtube. Regards, Emer
They are 15k now

It is very Clever! I have the 2021 model. I looked at all the comments on internet, mostly junk comments I must say! So i started an excel sheet and made my own data. So far 3 weeks in. I am massively saving emission and saving money. I would recommend a full EV. But as a stepping stone I would very much recommend to all. You must plug it in every night though. I am a Wise Man with a science degree. The Inside of the car is dated, they need some 20 year olds in the development team but is what is. I am doing around 100MPG if you include electricity that is much cheaper on night tariff. Note that electricity in the night has much less carbon emissions too. I am averaging around 50 Grams per KWH. The car does between 2 to 3 miles per KWH, not bad for an SUV type. In whole I am saving over 50% in cost and more in CO2. C02 ABOUT 80% LESS PER MILE.
How to fix the water in the caravan
That statement about the fastest is untrue, you tested the Audi A6 allroad @ 6.3 seconds from 30-60mph compared to 7.2 seconds for the Q7
Not worth it. At 6pm everyone disappears to watch Corry or read Mills and Boon. No atmosphere, expensive, difficult to get a booking, as all the pensioners book a year up front without having to make a deposit. In summary, "Quality, Car Park style Morgues". One positive is that the Team do help you to book trips abroad when coordinating site and ferry bookings. We have found that independent sites and use of PitchUp enables us to go away when we want to and for much cheaper. No need to pay someone to mow the grass 3 x per day. One year membership was enough.
Tommy two ton you should buy one. 😊
Hey guys I am down here in Australia,one has popped up on Facebook for sale for $26000 I was wondering what do these vans tow like ,are they stable is there any problems with them thanks for your input cheers Tony
Is the 520 as good please
super easy! Thank you for the detailed instructions! :)
First line is a sign of how much things have change as Ford is about the most popular 4x4 now
Fake advertisment, 1,500lbs is all it can pull.😢😢😢
Some of these winners are hilarious. Who in their right mind and an ounce of mechanical knowledge buys a Peugeot or a Land Rover. 😂
That is the name of that caravan?
Does anyone else use a Mazda like this for caravanning or a 2.0 165km petrol? and does anyone know what the fuel consumption is like when towing a trailer?
I hope the front and rear panels are better made than the one,s on my 2016 swift challenger?
Hi, are u sure the towing capacity is 1500kg? Because in Canada Mitsubishi official website, it states 1500 Lbs, so just want to know, because im interested the PHev one..thx
G'day from Western Australia. Hey, great question. I think you might have spotted an error! I can confirm in Australia the specified braked towing capacity in 2024 is 1600kg! I guess the new model is up 100kg from the 1500kg quoted here. I also checked both the Canadian and US specs - they currently state 1500lbs although the US data was 2023. So I suggest you ask your local Mitsubishi agent if there is a mistake, and if not, why so low tow capacity. I also spotted one comment on one site saying that the battery isn't used when towing.
Do ya like daags?
I've never enjoyed being seated with my head in the curtains and practically no backrest 😢

Hi, Would it be possible to use this on our website at all?? Thanks Trystan @3as Leisure
How much are we towing here
I like that, very much like the Phoenix +650 in its layout.
