Korean SUVs drive in
Korean automaker Ssang Yong's exclusive distributor in Poland is going to offer three models of Ssang Yong's cars - Rodius, Rexton and Muso Sports - with prices ranging from zł.113,000 to ał.199,000 gross.
"The sector of sport utility vehicles (SUV) and multi purpose vehicles has been going through a boom period recently. It is pretty surprising if you take into consideration the bad condition of the automotive market. It is an impressive exception. For Ssang Yong, a company specializing in the production of this type of vehicle, it is a perfect moment to widen its area of operation," said the general director of Ssang Yong Poland, Stefan Kumiński.
The company is expecting high demand for Ssang Yong cars in Poland and is already planning to widen its offer in 2006 with two more models: Kyron and Actyon. Ssang Yong management expects overall annual sales to reach 1,147 units.
Ssang Yong Poland's majority shareholder is a Spanish company, Berge Automocion, which manages 21 makes of cars in six countries. The company sells over 90,000 vehicles annually and its turnover exceeds EUR 1.5 (zł. 5.88) billion.
