Special edition Ssangyong Turismos announced for the U.K.

Based on the top-of-the-range Ssangyong Turismo ELX with selectable four-wheel drive, these new special editions come with a premium specification that includes a seven-speed Mercedes-Benz automatic transmission, cruise control, parking sensors, rear seating privacy glass, 17-inch diamond cut alloy wheels, roof rails, heated front seats, rain sensing wipers and automatic head lights.

At over five metres long and with a three-metre wheelbase, the Turismo is larger than a standard-sized multi-purpose vehicle people carrier, and features an upgraded 2.2-litre Euro Six diesel engine.

Thanks to its 3,000mm wheelbase, the Turismo provides a huge interior space where seven adults can travel in supreme comfort with their luggage loaded in the back, and without having to compromise on passenger accommodation.

There are three rows of seats, as well as the large load space, which can be further increased by removing the third row completely. This gives a massive load carrying capability of between 875 litres with seven adults seated, through to two adults and 3,146 litres of load space.

The new Turismo utilises double wishbone front suspension and rear independent multi-link suspension for executive saloon style ride quality. This set-up offers a quiet and comfortable driving environment with firm body control, a flat ride and optimum stability regardless of the road conditions.
