Given that Korean cars have never been at the leading edge of styling design I still wonder How the hel_l could they come up with something so dammed butt ugly. Took me all my time to contain a barf could you imagine anyone ordering one?

It seats 11 so they can import it without paying any tax. So for people with larger families its pretty cheap (less than 2 million baht)

Agree its a butt ugly piece of junk though

If anyone fancies buying one theres a Ssangyong dealership on Rama 9

Driving in Bangkok.

As for cheap in Australia retail is about 36,000 AU$ or 1,100,000 Baht. The taxes in OZ are not insignificant . Here its less than 2,000,000 !!!

That is vile.

It's more of a van than an SUV. Ssangyong have a whole line up of ugly vehicles.

Hmm I can't find the pricing anywhere.......I think I might have read the prices in a review of the Stavic in the BKK Post around the time of the Motor Show last year.

I decided to take a look on there website http://www.ssangyong.co.th/Thai/StaOverview.aspx

and it seems they specialise in damned ugly looking motors....the rexton isn't too bad but the chairman....<deleted> is that?

Ugh!!!! My early 80's Toyota looks better than that thing!

Kia makes some pretty ugly vehicles....look at their vans. I've always liked the look of the Jeep Cherokee but unfortunately their engines are terrible.

Sure aint ever going to win any design awards....but probably WILL

I've seen worse - actually more an estate car than an SUV to be quite honest!

I just ordered one

Your right, it's absolutely ugly

It'll be used as a minivan for a hotel, so looks were not that important.

In the Thai version there are 11 seats, although the back row is does not give very much legroom, and is a hassle to get to.

But if you take out that last row, you can very comfortably seat 7 passengers.

I just compared it to the regular Toyota minivans, and the Ssang Yong is much more comfortable, drives much better, is much quiter, much more beautifull inside, you just get the feel of being in a luxury car.

I reckon technolgy wise the Stavic is much more advanced then the regular minivans. Mercedes diesel engine and mercedes auto 5 gear box with tiptronic.

The price is 1.560.000 Baht with the auto gear.

The Toyota van's fitted out with seats, decent stereo, high quality seats etc wil already com withing a few hundred thousand of the Stavic's price...

Ssangyong is only imported into Australia to prevent ######s from driving Fords Nignoy

The Pontiac Aztec.... Ugh-Lee!

Crash, Yes, that is fugly machine alright, little wonder that GM canned it after trying to give it away for the last two years of its life. Beats me how the heck could they get it so wrong.
