SsangYong Motors UK, the new importer of Korean SsangYong cars, is providing new opportunities to allure motor traders.

The revived brand wants increase its portfolio of UK dealerships from current 50 to 65 across the country by the end of this year.

SsangYong Motors UK is in search of dealers to take on the franchise in Aberdeen, Greater Manchester, Newcastle, Teesside, Borders, Bradford, Sheffield, Nottingham, Liverpool, Coventry, Watford, Leicester, Reading, Leeds, Exeter, London/South East, Southampton and Mid & North Wales.

Recently-appointed Marketing Director Steve Gray said that an Ssangyong franchise would be a marvelous opportunity for dealers.

Speaking on the topic, Gray said, “While we seek professional people who will work to our professional standards, these are far from onerous; we want dealers who will enjoy working with us.”

SsangYong is returning to the UK with the manufacturer's flagship vehicle Korando crossover, which starts at £16,995, and will take on competitors like Hyundai, Nissan, Kia and Mitsubishi.
