Which means it's time to take a look at SsangYong's most notorious model, the Rodius seven-seat MPV which is widely regarded as the most godawful-looking son of a bitch you can buy in this country. Designer Ken Greenley has defended the styling of the Rodius by saying that it makes sense in Korea, but to western eyes it seems a villainous piece of work. "If it looks right, it is right." If the opposite of that old saying is also true, it must follow that the Rodius is absolutely awful, and until this week I'd fallen into the trap of assuming that it probably was. Now that my Rodius virginity is a thing of the past, though, I've realised two things: first, it looks a lot better if it's painted in a very dark colour; and second, it's actually pretty good. One of the things Koelliker has done is to take an axe to the old pricing structure, with the result that the entry-level Rodius - the 270 S tested here - now costs just £14,995. For that relatively modest sum (there are more expensive Volkswagen Polos, for example) you get an enormous device which can hold seven people and quite a lot of luggage at the same time, or two people and a thoroughly staggering amount of luggage, and which is powered by a rather good 163bhp Mercedes-derived five-cylinder turbo diesel engine. To put some figures on this, the Rodius has a load volume of 875 litres with all the seats in place, and 3043 litres with five of them folded. That means it's nearly as roomy as a Chrysler Grand Voyager, but it also costs £2740 less than the cheapest Kia Sedona. More . . .

Just not in a good way. This seven-seater follows the maximum-MPV-for-your-money approach with acres of space inside and seats that can fold down, swivel around or be removed entirely. Only one engine, a noisy 2.7-litre turbodiesel, powers the range. This powertrain churns out plenty of torque, but the Rodius’s bulk wipes out any worthy performance figures. It also causes poor fuel economy and CO2 emissions in the highest VED tax band. Handling is acceptable though not on the same level as many competitors, and the ride is uncomfortably hard. Decent equipment on the inside compensates to some extent for the interior’s cheap feel but one big shortcoming is the absence of curtain and side airbags. Also, before you’re seduced by its very tempting price tag, make sure you want to keep it long enough for the sting from its punishing depreciation to pass.
