SsangYong Rodius Review

SsangYong Rodius

How It Looks - Interior

We found the SsangYong Rodius' interior to be quite tasteful and well trimmed. The grey fabric upholstery was hard wearing which is important for a family orientated vehicle. The grey interior plastics were of a good quality and were enhanced with brushed aluminium effect trim for a modern look.

The only negative point was the centrally mounted speedometer and rev counter which we found distracting to use.

In Car Entertainment and Satellite Navigation

Our test car was fitted with a face off Clarion aftermarket single slot CD player with radio - the sound quality was OK. You can of course always replace this system with one of your own choice.
