The new Rodius is now powered by SsangYong’s latest e-XDi diesel engine. This 2 litre Euro 5 unit provides a maximum power of 155PS and peak torque of 360Nm delivered between 1,500rpm and 2,800rpm, with economy up to 38.7 mpg on the Combined Cycle. This is the same engine fitted to the recently announced Korando Sports pick-up.
As well as seven seats, every Rodius comes with a complete level of standard equipment. Electric front and rear windows, fully automatic climate control and a Kenwood audio and Bluetooth system are standard across all variants including the entry level S model, as are vital safety aids including ABS, EBD, ESP and now ISOFIX child seat anchorages for the middle row. The car has an entry level price of just £15.995.
In ES trim you also have the option of a Mercedes-Benz five speed T-Tronic automatic transmission in place of the standard six speed manual. Heated leather front seats, 16 inch alloy wheels and rear privacy glass also feature.
