It is no secret that SsangYong is now owned by Mahindra and with the newly found resources, the Korean carmaker is able to compete again in the field of SUVs. The company is more serious than ever as it unveils the XLV concept during the Geneva Motor Show.
Speaking to the masses, SsangYong made it clear that the XLV represents three major elements which shaped the motto, exciting smart lifestyle vehicle. The XLV will not just be another vehicle. SsangYong added that the SUV will be one of its core strategic models coming in the future.
The XLV will be powered by a 1.6-liter diesel engine and an electric motor that sucks juice out of a now-commonplace lithium ion battery pack. The SUV can accommodate 7 passengers in total and it will be the perfect balance between a sturdy vehicle and a reliable family car.
The XLV was among the highlights of the Geneva Motor Show as it has a design that appeals to the masses. The choice of matte silver gave it the futuristic touch and the headlamps are kept thin and narrow.
In short, the XLV looks so ferocious that we can expect it to start hunting down the X5 when it gets released in the near future.
