Ssangyong X100 B-segment SUV – production XLV concept to debut new 1.6 litre engine family

X100

The production version of the SsangYong XLV Concept that was showcased at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show will be unveiled in 2015. Word is that an unveiling could happen as early as January.

The production B-segment SUV – rumoured to be called the X100 – will take the fight to other B-segment SUVs in the market like the Ford EcoSport, the Nissan Juke, the Renault Captur and the Peugeot 2008. Ssangyong have confirmed that the production XLV will debut a new family of SsangYong-designed 1.6 litre petrol and diesel four-cylinder engines.

Measuring 4,430 mm long, 1,845 mm wide and 1,600 mm tall, it is slightly longer than the competition, and with good reason too. The XLV concept had three-row seating, with seats configurable in either a 2-3-2 or 2-2-3 arrangement, thanks to a middle seat that can slide between the second and third row.

    Sometimes, I’m amazed at what this company can pull off… like how Ssangyong doesn’t give a shit about what everybody that dislikes it says and kept rolling out new models…

      Well, they did change. It seems like they used to try to make the ugliest cars in the world, deliberately, because you can’t come up with such ugliness by accident. Now they make ATTRACTIVE cars. How mainstream…

    Proton should buy this company and emphasize on the powerful turbo diesel engine which Ssangyong is good at instead of developing the rough and non reliable CAMPRO ENGINE.

    It seems not bad. does it underpower ? and no mention about price ? Please give more details. B- segment means less than 100k ? or better still less than rm 8O k ?

      They can only give the details that they have. Not stated means no info or that the info is too unreliable.
