Expert opinion and recommendation

The SsangYong Rodius diesel, though not a contender for aesthetic awards, is a practical and spacious option for those prioritizing interior space and versatility. Its massive dimensions translate into a remarkably spacious interior, making it an excellent choice for large families or those needing ample cargo space. However, its outdated design, noisy and sluggish engine, and poor driving dynamics are significant drawbacks. The Mercedes-sourced 2.7-litre diesel engine, while providing decent torque, is loud and inefficient, leading to high running costs. Despite these issues, the Rodius offers a lot of value for its price, especially considering the generous standard kit and its ability to tow heavy loads. If you can overlook its shortcomings, the Rodius could be a sensible choice for those on a budget and in need of a practical, if not thrilling, vehicle.

Mahindra SsangYong is expected to launch the Rodius Diesel in India, priced around Rs. 25 lakh. The vehicle features a 2.0-litre turbocharged e-Xdi200 diesel engine, producing 155PS of power and 360Nm of torque. It also includes features like a hexagonal radiator grille, trapezoidal bumper, and advanced safety systems such as ESP and BAS. I think this could be a strong contender in the Indian MPV market with its robust design and ample space.

The SsangYong Rodius Diesel boasts a spacious interior, capable of seating 7, 9, or 11 individuals, depending on the configuration. It offers a roomy cabin with ergonomically designed instrument gauges and a comfortable driving experience. The vehicle also comes with a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. I believe the comfort and versatility of this MPV will appeal to many Indian families.
October 15, 2024
SsangYong discontinued the Rodius/Stavic globally in 2019 due to poor sales and the inability to comply with Euro 6D-Temp emission standards. However, the Indian market might see a revival with Mahindras planned launch, which could address previous issues. This move could help SsangYong regain traction in the Indian MPV segment.

The SsangYong Rodius Diesel is equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 155 hp and 360 Nm of torque. It features rear-wheel drive and comes with safety features like airbags, ESP, and BAS. The vehicles fuel efficiency is rated at 12.4 kmpl, making it a practical choice for long trips. I think the balance between power and efficiency is a significant selling point.
August 25, 2024
The Rodius Diesel is known for its bold and rugged exterior design, highlighted by its distinct radiator grille and trapezoidal headlamps. The interior is designed for comfort, with captain seats in the rear and ample cargo space. This design approach sets it apart from other MPVs in the market.

Price

Pricing details and changes

In India, the SsangYong Rodius was not widely available or marketed, which makes it challenging to provide exact ex-showroom and on-road prices. However, if we were to consider import or used vehicle prices, the Rodius would likely fall in the range of 15 lakh to 25 lakh, depending on the model year, condition, and specifications. This pricing is speculative, as the vehicle was not officially sold in India. For those considering importing or purchasing a used Rodius, its crucial to factor in additional costs such as customs duties, registration fees, and any necessary modifications to comply with Indian regulations.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The SsangYong Rodius diesel is not known for its fuel efficiency. With a combined mileage of around 29-32 mpg (depending on the transmission), it translates to approximately 8-10 kml in Indian driving conditions. This is relatively poor, especially considering the vehicles size and weight. Running costs will be high due to the inefficient engine and high CO2 emissions, making it a less desirable choice for those concerned about fuel economy and environmental impact.

About

General information and overview

The SsangYong Rodius is a full-size MPV that stands out for its enormous interior space and versatility. It features a 2.7-litre turbodiesel engine sourced from Mercedes, producing 165bhp and 340Nm of torque, which, although noisy and sluggish, provides sufficient power for its size. The vehicle is available with both manual and automatic transmissions, with the latter being particularly unrefined. The Rodius boasts a high seating position, good visibility, and a flexible seating arrangement that includes two seats in the middle row and three in the third row. However, it lacks modern safety features, has a hard and jerky ride, and suffers from poor body control and numb steering. Despite these flaws, its ability to tow up to 2.5 tonnes and its massive cargo capacity make it a practical choice for specific needs. The interior, while spacious, is furnished with cheap and dated materials, and the overall design is far from sleek. Nonetheless, for those prioritizing space and practicality over driving dynamics and aesthetics, the Rodius could be a viable option.
