Mahindra Ssangyong Rexton & Korando SUV’s India Launch – Specifications & Features

Mahindra & Mahindra after buying an appreciable amount of stakes in Ssangyong has reached a crucial level of recognition alike the Tata which came under the limelight moments after it bagged Land Rover and Jaguar. For Mahindra this step is extremely important and could help it grow bigger as both the brand Ssangyong and Mahindra primarily carry an impression of SUV makers.

Coming to utility vehicles they both have their own identity in the Global and Indian market respectively. Soon after the venture, a lot of plans have come up which are aimed at future expansion of both the brands jointly. The two brands inspite of being best in their own fields will help out each other at points where one’s technology surpasses the other’s.

Latest word from the company is that they will be launching Ssangyong Rexton and Ssangyong Korando in India within a few months from now.
