South Korean carmaker SsangYong is welcoming the new year with a limited edition version of its Italdesign-penned Korando crossover for the British market.

On the outside, the new Korando LE is distinguished by its bespoke 18 inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler and privacy glass, while interior goods include some additional standard amenities such as heated front seats, leather covered steering wheel and gear shift, plus cruise control and rear parking sensors.

The limited edition model is available in the Grand White finish as standard, with metallic Vitamin Red and Space Black being optional. Power comes exclusively from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel producing 173bhp and 360Nm (265.5 lb-ft) of peak torque.

On the road prices start from £17,995, with SsangYong offering 5 years free servicing on models purchased with finance during February and March.
