Ssangyong Motor Co., the local unit of Indian carmaker Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., said Friday it will hold off any plans of compensation for the overstated fuel efficiency claims on its Korando Sports CX7 SUV until after the verdict for an ongoing lawsuit comes out.
Earlier in June, carmaker was fined by the government for exaggerating the gas mileage of its Korando Sports 2-liter diesel by as much as 10.7 percent, according to exhaustive tests carried out by automotive institutes. Some 720 owners of the vehicle later filed a class action suit.
