Background
The SsangYong Rodius is an automobile released in late 2004 by the South Korean automaker SsangYong Motor Company. Rodius is an inaccurate portmanteau of the words road and Zeus, which is intended to mean "Lord of the Road."
Considered a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), it is available in 7, 9 and 11 seat configurations, a 5-seater version is also available in Hong Kong. The seats can be folded to act as tables or folded further to add extra cargo area. They can be turned around, encouraging conversation and can be slid forward and backward.
