Ssangyong to Offer Five-Year Warranty for 3 Models
April 23, 2009
As an incentive for UK buyers, Korean car manufacturer Ssangyong will be offering a warranty good for 5 years or 250,000 miles, whichever comes first, on 3 of its models: the Kyron, the Rexton, and the Rodius.
The new warranty plans result after some market testing in Northern Ireland. There is already a 5-year extended warranty plan in place, which covers free car service for 5 years or 50,000. However, this warranty plan is only available to people who buy a Ssangyong car until the last day of June.
“We know that Ssangyongs are well-made and solidly reliable,” said Paul Williams, the managing director of Koelliker UK, which imports the Ssangyong vehicles.
Well, if it can’t readily sell the product’s innate features, Ssangyong has at least managed to put something in place that would give their buyers a good guarantee of quality and service. The question now is whether a long warranty offer is enough to boost the company’s sales, especially given that many people still have qualms about the cars reliability- and design-wise.human stain the divx movie online half a person dvd download
Ssangyong C200 Due 2010
January 3, 2009
Korean car manufacturer Ssangyong will be introducing the new C200 soft-roader in the UK sometime in early 2010. Previewed at the last Seoul Motor Show, the C200 is intended to be a rival to the Nissan Qashqai.
Ssangyong UK chief Paul Williams said that the vehicle will have options for a front-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive. Ssangyong is also planning two options for both engine and transmission. Engine options include a 1.8-liter turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.0-liter diesel power plant. Transmission options, on the other hand, are a five-speed automatic and a six-speed manual. There is also a hybrid being planned, but there is no timetable for it yet.
Of course, whether the vehicle makes it to the UK market is dependent on the Korean courts, as Ssangyong has filed for something akin to Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This process is called ‘receivership’.
Ssangyong will present a restructuring plan on May 22, which includes the introduction of five new models in five years. These new models include the C200.
