The SsangYong e — Motion AWD is a dual — motor all‑wheel‑drive electric powertrain introduced in 2023. It features two permanent‑magnet synchronous motors (PMSM)—one on each axle—delivering combined output of 150 kW (204 PS) and 350 Nm of torque. The system is paired with a single‑speed reduction gearbox per motor and a 61.5 kWh lithium‑nickel‑manganese‑cobalt oxide (NMC) traction battery.

The SsangYong e-Motion AWD is a dual-motor electric powertrain engineered for compact SUV applications (2023–2025). It combines front and rear permanent-magnet synchronous motors with a 61.5 kWh NMC battery to deliver balanced all-wheel drive and zero-emission urban mobility. Designed to meet EU WVTA and UN R100 safety standards, it prioritizes efficiency, traction, and regulatory compliance.

The SsangYong e-Motion AWD was used exclusively on the Korando e-Motion (C200 EV) platform with transverse mounting and no external licensing. This powertrain received a single platform-specific integration—reinforced subframes and revised suspension geometry to accommodate the dual-motor layout and battery pack—and from Q3 2024 the updated Korando e-Motion AWD adopted enhanced rear inverter cooling ducts and revised thermal management calibration, creating minor software/hardware interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The e-Motion AWD is generally robust as a new EV platform, but early builds (2023–mid-2024) are prone to rear inverter thermal derating under high-load conditions. Post-Q3 2024 revisions improved cooling significantly. Regular high-voltage inspections and software updates greatly enhance longevity and performance consistency.
The top issues are rear inverter thermal derating (pre-Q3 2024), 12V battery drain during extended parking, inconsistent regenerative braking in cold weather, and CCS2 charging interruptions with certain networks. These are documented in SsangYong service bulletins SB‑EV‑2024‑02 and TIS procedures.
The e-Motion AWD is used exclusively in the Korando e-Motion (C200 EV) SUV from 2023 to 2025 as the dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant. It is not shared with any other manufacturer or SsangYong model line.
No. SsangYong does not support or authorize powertrain remapping. The dual-motor control is tightly integrated with battery and thermal systems; unauthorized tuning risks inverter damage or battery degradation. Power output is fixed at 150 kW by OEM calibration.
In mixed UK driving, expect 220–260 km (137–162 miles) per charge, depending on temperature, terrain, and use of climate control. Highway cruising at 70 mph typically yields ~200 km (124 miles). Preconditioning while plugged in can improve cold-weather range by up to 15%.
Not applicable. As a fully electric powertrain with no internal combustion components, there is no timing system or valve train. Mechanical failure modes relate to bearings, gears, or power electronics—not interference damage.
No engine oil changes, but SsangYong recommends a 20,000 km high-voltage inspection, cabin air filter replacement, brake fluid flush every 2 years, and annual 12V battery health check. Battery coolant should be replaced every 8 years or 160,000 km per TIS guidelines.
Comprehensive technical documentation and regulatory references
EngineCode.uk is operated by Engine Finders UK Ltd. It provides engine-reference information and an optional commercial enquiry service. It is not an official manufacturer website. Check the record's sources and confirm vehicle-specific details before relying on it for parts, repairs or replacement.
Our editorial standard prioritises relevant manufacturer documentation and official regulatory sources. The sources and verification status for a record should be checked alongside the data.
A statement is not verified merely because a source is listed. Where supporting evidence is missing or conflicting, the record should identify that limitation. Please report unsupported or inconsistent information.
