South Korean automaker Ssangyong is all set to unveil its new XLV concept at the upcoming Geneva International Motor Show in March. The vehicle is likely to be launched by the end of this year, and will directly compete against Ford EcoSport.
The XLV is basically a multi-role B-segment SUV concept that emits significantly lower CO2, thanks to its mild hybrid system that is combined to a 1.6-litre diesel engine, along with an electric motor powered by a lithium ion battery. The car measures 4,430mm in length, 1845mm in width, 1600mm in height. With a large wheelbase of 2600mm, the vehicle offers an ample cabin space. The XLV is 290mm longer than the XIV-1 concept that precedes it, and provides accommodation for seven passengers in an innovative 2+2+2+1 arrangement, where the seventh seat slides between the second and third rows for optimum flexibility.
Showcasing SsangYong’s new design philosophy ‘Nature born 3 motion’, this latest concept projects a rhythmical and dynamic exterior design, and is aimed at appealing to smart users who are active and seeks individuality and practicality.
