[1] The Korando brand is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as Korea’s longest surviving name plate.

In 1964, Ha Dong-hwan Motor Company began to assemble Jeeps, trucks, and buses for the US armed forces and for the United Nations Command.

[2] In November 1969, the CJ-5 entered production with the 75 hp (56 kW) Willys Hurricane inline-four engine and in 1971, a ten-seater version and a pickup model were introduced.

These originally had a locally built AMC 258 ci straight-six engine with 110 hp (82 kW) SAE, but after the oil crises of the seventies Isuzu's 2.8-liter 4BA1 diesel engine with 85 hp (63 kW) SAE was introduced in July 1979.

Shinjin Motors sold a shipment of Jeeps to Libya in 1979, in spite of the embargo, and this led to another ownership shakeup as it invalidated the license.

Keohwa Co Ltd took over production in March 1981, and rotated the bars in the grille to minimize the resemblance to a Jeep.

[2] In November 1982, the nine-seater "Family Deluxe" was introduced, and the range was renamed "Korando" in March 1983.

The new model had a changed interior and the large diesel was replaced by the 2238 cc Isuzu C223 engine.

[citation needed] The third generation Korando, codenamed the SsangYong C200[18] began production in late 2010.

The concept received mostly positive feedback and was thought by many to be the vehicle that can turn SsangYong's reputation for having cars with questionable styling around.

Performance-wise, the new concept has a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel engine and a confirmed power output of 135 kW (184 PS; 181 hp) and 360 N⋅m (270 lb⋅ft) of torque.

Launched at the 2010 Busan International Motor Show alongside the Korando C and Korando EV concepts was an Atomouse-themed art car, in collaboration with Korean pop artist Dongi Lee and the Gana Art Centre.

The Korando was launched in South Korea on February 26,[36] and debuted to the global market in Geneva Motor Show 2019.

The vehicle features a 61.5 kWh battery allowing for 339 km of WLTP range, which powers a 140 kW (190 hp), 360 Nm front-wheel driving electric motor.
