2012 SsangYong XIV-2 Concept


SsangYong Motor Company is gaining a reputation in Europe for creative, futuristic and advanced designs, and at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show the 4x4 specialist will unveil its next groundbreaking concept.

Making its world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the XIV-2 is a premium convertible CUV (crossover utility vehicle), and follows in the tracks of SsangYong XIV-1 Concept, first shown at the IAA in Frankfurt, September 2011.

Evolving the idea behind the first generation concept, SsangYong XIV-2 (eXciting User Interface Vehicle 2) has been developed into a vehicle that offers 'a special experience with fun'. Central to that fun element is an advanced convertible roof to give driver and passengers a rich 'wind in the hair' experience whether travelling on or off road.

XIV-2 is SsangYong's strategic global model, and has harnessed every element of the company's design and engineering expertise from its inception. B segment in size, this CUV retains at its core a dynamic, robust SUV and has been tailored through global design clinics to appeal to young drivers in their twenties.

Environmental considerations are also at the heart of SsangYong XIV-2's design, and the car will be equipped with various highly fuel efficient, low CO2 technologies including:

Euro VI compliant 1.6 petrol and diesel engines
Efficient six speed manual or automatic transmission
Idle Stop and Go (ISG)
