SsangYong Rodius

The Rodius is Ssangyong's people carrier. The firm claims that the Rodius is intended to blend luxury and sophistication of a saloon, combined with the versatility and spaciousness you’d expect from a large people carrier. On the plus side, the Rodius does offer a decent amount of space, including seven seats, but the interior lacks the flexibility of more modern rivals like the Renault Espace. The interior is made from poor quality materials too. There's just one engine option, a dated 2.7-litre diesel that's noisy and struggles to get the heavy Rodius up to speed. The suspension is too firm to be comfortable on longer journeys.
