Ssangyong has released the first images of the XIV-2 convertible concept that will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show next month. It is billed as a successor to the XIV-1 concept that was unleashed on the world at the Frankfurt Auto Show last year.
The XIV-2 (eXciting User Interface Vehicle 2) concept features the same CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) body style as its predecessor. The main innovation being the new soft top roof that changes the model to a convertible with the touch of a button.
It boasts dimensions measuring 4,166mm length, 1,820mm width and 1,566mm height along with a wheelbase that is 2,600mm long.
Additionally, we are told there will be eco-friendly, fuel efficient 1.6 litre diesel and petrol engines that meet Euro VI emission regulations.
SsangYong will showcase its new XIV-2 ‘convertible' concept car at the 82nd Geneva Motor Show in March, a successor to the XIV-1 concept presented at IAA International Motor Show, Frankfurt 2011.
SsangYong is developing the XIV-2 (eXciting User Interface Vehicle 2) concept as a premium CUV (crossover utility vehicle). A strategic model for the global market, its styling cue is based around ‘a special experience with fun', and blends the characteristics of a robust and powerful SUV with the dynamic style of an open top sports coupé.
XIV-2 features a one-touch automatic opening soft-top roof to provide ‘wind in the hair' driving enjoyment, and with its futuristic and aesthetic appearance is designed to appeal to the younger generation.
Measuring 4,166mm (length) x 1,820mm (width) x 1,566mm (height) and with a 2,600mm wheelbase, XIV-2 will be equipped with eco-friendly, fuel efficient 1.6 litre diesel and petrol engines meeting Euro VI emission regulations.
