In the frontal offset test, protection of the six-year dummy was good for all critical body areas. For the ten-year-old, dummy readings of neck tension indicated marginal protection for this body region, but protection elsewhere was good. In the side barrier test, protection of all critical parts of the body was good for both child dummies. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All restraint types for which the Korando is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The protection provided to the head of a struck pedestrian was good or adequate over most of the bonnet surface, with poor results recorded at the base of the windscreen and on the stiff windscreen pillars. Protection of pedestrians' legs was good at all test locations but protection of the pelvis was mixed. The AEB system of the Korando can detect vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists, as well as other vehicles. In tests of its response to pedestrians, the system performed adequately. The system's reaction to cyclists was rated as marginal.

The AEB system performed well in tests of its response to other vehicles at highway speeds, with collisions avoided in almost all test scenarios. A seatbelt reminder system is standard for the front and rear seats. A camera-based speed limit recognition system presents the information the driver, allowing the speed limiter to be set appropriately. The lane support system helps to prevent inadvertent drifting out of lane and also intervenes more aggressively in certain critical situations.

The passenger compartment of the Korando remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs for both driver and passenger. SsangYong showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver dummy was good or adequate. For the rear dummy, readings indicated a drop in the iliac force, indicating that the pelvis had slipped underneath the lap section of the seatbelt, a phenomenon known as 'submarining'. Although dummy readings did not indicate a high risk of injury, the car was penalised and protection of the pelvis rated as poor. in the side barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good and the Korando scored maximum points. In the more severe side pole impact, dummy readings of rib deflection indicated marginal protection of the chest, while that of other critical body areas was good. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system scored maximum points in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur, with car-to-car collisions avoided in all test scenarios.
