SsangYong has
unveiled a new entry level of its Sports Dual Cab aimed at tradesman looking for a tough no-nonsense
workhorse ute at a really low price. The SsangYong Sports Dual Cab Tradie
boasts a value-for-money price tag of just $24,990 for the
4×2
five-speed manual powered by the eco-friendly common rail, 2.0-litre, turbo diesel engine.
SsangYong Tradie have borrowed a phrase purported to be made by a fellow named Ford in that it ‘will be available in any colour so long as it is white’ and will be equipped with steel wheels and a front disc/rear drum brake set-up.
It's priced at the bottom of the market but even so it still comes with a swag of standard features
including air-conditioning, power windows, remote locking and dual SRS airbags at no extra cost.
It utilises a diesel, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, common rail, turbo engine generating maximum power
of 104kW at 4000rpm and maximum torque of 310Nm at 1800rpm, making it ideal as a tough workhorse or
a smooth and quiet everyday drive.
As well as its low overall purchase price the Tradie also boasts a low fuel consumption of 8.1L/100km on the combined ADR cycle ensuring the current fuel pump price shock is kept to a minimum.
The Tradie will also be available as a 4×4 manual priced at just $27,990,
well below the price of many other diesel 4×4 dual cabs on the market.
