The SSANGYONG RODIUS (2006-13) 5DR MPV 2.7 XDI 165 SE 7 SEAT is a large, seven-seat diesel MPV, built around practical passenger space rather than sporty looks. In the UK used-car market it is an uncommon, budget-friendly alternative to familiar people carriers such as the Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Sharan, with an especially distinctive shape. Seven seats make the Rodius well suited to larger families, school runs and holidays, while its generous cabin can also appeal to drivers who regularly carry colleagues or bulky luggage. The 2.7-litre XDi diesel gives it the character of a substantial long-distance people mover; buyers should check that the size and running costs fit their needs, and inspect condition carefully. mycarcheck.com has only three checks across two VINs, so figures are indicative: average recorded mileage was 111,000 and average private-sale value £1,300. That suggests a low-cost, spacious choice, but verify each vehicle’s history before you buy.
