The SSANGYONG RODIUS (2006-13) 5DR MPV 2.7 XDI 165 S 7 SEAT is a large seven-seat diesel people carrier, not an SUV or ordinary family hatchback. In the UK, it is a less common, value-focused used MPV, offering generous space for buyers who need more room than a five-seat car. It suits larger families, group travel and anyone regularly carrying several passengers and luggage; the spacious cabin and seven seats are its strengths. Its unconventional shape stands apart from rivals such as Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Sharan, and the 2.7-litre diesel offers a purposeful feel. As an older MPV, it is less convenient in tight city parking, so check condition and likely running costs before buying. mycarcheck.com records 26 checks covering 15 distinct VINs; this is a modest sample of data. Recorded cars averaged 112,000 miles, 4,000 miles annually and about 2.6 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £1,800.
