Ssangyong Rodius Overview
The Rodius can comfortably seat seven with loads of room inside the cabin. The car’s exterior design will not appeal to everyone.
Background
The SsangYong Rodius was originally put into production in 2004 and was recognised as one of the largest MPVs in the world.
In 2007 the SsangYong Rodius received a facelift before being discontinued in 2011 as a result of poor popularity and a number of negative reviews.
The Rodius was often criticized for its lack of side and curtain airbags which are seen as essential in a family car, and has also received quite negative comments regarding the MPV’s looks.
Summary
The Rodius is comfortable to drive and comes with an affordable asking price. It is highly equipped and provides good value for the money, although it has been criticized for its lack of side airbags. The car is larger than most of the competition, hopefully that will prove to be a good thing. The Ssangyong Rodius was designed to comfortably carry seven passengers and their luggage, and that’s exactly what it does. Passengers have plenty of space giving the cabin a roomy and comfortable feel.
