Engine power and kerb weight are registration-weighted averages across the 16 EU/EEA countries that registered the Ssangyong Korando in 2025 (2,567 cars). Source: EEA COâ‚‚ monitoring (CC BY 4.0).
Engine power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the power of the combustion engine, not the system power, and for electric cars it can differ from the peak power the manufacturer advertises.

Power by engine variant (Norway)
164 Ssangyong Korando cars registered for the first time in Norway in 2019–2025, by drivetrain and type-approved engine power. The EEA data has no trim names, so variants are told apart by power.
| Drivetrain | Power | Kerb weight | Years | Registered in Norway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electric | 140 kW (188 hp) | 1,840 kg | 2023–2025 | 90 |
| Electric | 152 kW (204 hp) | 1,840 kg | 2024–2025 | 34 |
| Diesel | 100 kW (134 hp) | 1,610 kg | 2019–2021 | 40 |
Power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the combustion engine, not the system output; for electric cars it can differ from the peak power in the maker’s marketing.

WLTP range by version
Type-approved WLTP range of the electric versions of the Ssangyong Korando, as recorded for each car in the Dutch vehicle register (RDW). The table shows the median; the spread is where 80% of the cars fall.
| Power | Range | Spread | Consumption | First registered | Cars in NL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 140 kW (188 hp) | 339 km | – | 168 Wh/km | 2021–2023 | 27 |
WLTP is the test cycle of EU type approval, so the same version carries the same figure across the EU/EEA. Power is the net maximum electric power from the same register. Versions with fewer than 20 cars are left out. Source: Open Data RDW (Netherlands, CC0).
