SsangYong XLV concept for Geneva

Korean car brand SsangYong will unveil its new XLV concept (eXciting smart Lifestyle Vehicle) at the Geneva Motor Show in March, writes Trish Whelan.

This is a multi-role B-segment SUV concept with low C02 emissions thanks to its mild hybrid system which combines a 1.6 diesel engine with an electric motor powered by a lithium ion battery. It has room for seven passengers with the seventh seat sliding between the second and third rows.

It will play significant role in SsangYong's plans for continued growth, diversification and penetration of the European market over the coming years.
