The SsangYong Korando (Korean: 쌍용 코란도) is a mini SUV or compact crossover SUV built by the South Korean automobile manufacturer SsangYong from 1983 to 2006 and from 2010 onwards. The name Korando is a contraction of "Korea Can Do".[1] The Korando brand is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as Korea’s longest surviving name plate.
