Particularly, its domestic sales returned to the 6,000 level in three months since April helped by sales recovery of the company’s main models including the New Korando C (exports name: New Korando) and Korando Sports (exports name: Actyon Sports).

Ssangyong saw a decrease of 14.3% in exports for July from the previous year affected by the Russian market amid the Ukrainian crisis, but year-to-date exports dropped slightly by 0.3% backed by sales increase in the Chinese and European markets.
