General description

With its 178 HP diesel engine, it seeks to combine functionality with adequate responsiveness for daily use and long journeys.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Rodius, the predominant feeling is one of spaciousness and comfort. Its 178 HP diesel engine, although it doesn't make it a sports car, offers a capable response to move its considerable size, especially on the highway. The 6-speed manual transmission allows precise control, and the electric power steering facilitates maneuvers despite its dimensions. In curves, its family vehicle nature is perceived, with a comfort-oriented suspension that filters out road irregularities well, though without dynamic pretensions. It's a car to enjoy journeys calmly, knowing that all occupants will be comfortable and have plenty of space.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2013 SsangYong Rodius is, without a doubt, one of its most distinctive features. Its aesthetic, which some might consider daring or even polarizing, prioritizes functionality and interior space. At 5.13 meters long, 1.91 meters wide, and 1.81 meters high, its proportions are imposing. The five doors facilitate access to a cabin that can accommodate up to seven seats, with a 3-meter wheelbase that guarantees exceptional habitability. Although its exterior appearance may generate debate, its interior design is conceived for maximum practicality and passenger comfort.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the Rodius D22T 178 CV Line focuses on the essential and functional. Its 2,157 cc diesel engine, with common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler, delivers 178 HP of power and 400 Nm of torque, allowing it to reach a top speed of 187 km/h. It complies with Euro 6 regulations and its combined consumption is 7.2 l/100km, reasonable figures for a vehicle of its size and capacity. Rear-wheel drive and the 6-speed manual transmission offer a traditional and robust driving experience. In terms of safety, it features ventilated disc brakes both front and rear, and a deformable parallelogram suspension on both axles that contributes to stability and ride comfort.
Competition
In the large minivan segment, the SsangYong Rodius competes with models such as the Volkswagen Sharan, the Ford Galaxy, or the SEAT Alhambra. However, the Rodius stands out by offering even greater interior space and a more competitive price, making it a very attractive option for those seeking maximum habitability without excessive expenditure. Its focus on pure functionality positions it as a practical and economical alternative to its European rivals.
Conclusion
The SsangYong Rodius D22T 178 CV Line is a vehicle that more than fulfills its promise of offering immense space and remarkable comfort for all its occupants. It is the perfect choice for large families or for those who need a versatile vehicle with a large load capacity. Although its exterior design may not be to everyone's taste, its functionality, efficient diesel engine, and adjusted price make it a very sensible and emotionally gratifying option for those who value space and practicality above all else.
