Featured on Korando automatic models, the driver can select one of three drive modes, Normal, Sport or Winter, to suit conditions and promote safer driving.
ISG is standard on all Korando automatic vehicles – it automatically shuts off the engine when at idle to enhance fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions.
A sophisticated engine mount system, alongside powertrain and driveline suppression measures, maximises noise reduction and has allowed the Korando to attain superb levels of NVH. Using new construction features such as under floor damping, pillar cavity foam, and a sound absorbing roof liner, the Korando is effective in isolating engine, road and exterior sounds for a quiet driving experience.
Korando looks and handles well, but that’s not all – it’s also the safest and strongest Korando ever. A focus on safety is built-in from the body up, with a best-in-class chassis composed of 74% high-tensile strength steel. KGM has also fitted a 6 airbag system – which includes driver and passenger seat airbags, side and curtain airbags.
Safety for all includes a smart safety system – a continuously growing toolkit of advanced driving technology, designed to keep everyone safe on the road. This includes Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEBS), Safety Distance Alert (SDA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Front Vehicle Start Alert (FVSA), along with driver aids such as High Beam Assist (HBA), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) and Driver Attention Alert (DAA).
With all of these safety features, it’s no surprise the Korando scored 5 Stars in the Euro NCap test.
