SsangYong to show two SUVs in Frankfurt – ‘new Korando’ concept and seven-seater Tivoli

SsangYong-XLV-Air-02

Korean SUV specialist SsangYong will be bringing two concept SUVs to this month’s Frankfurt motor show. Both will be based on the platform of the company’s latest production SUV, the B-segment Tivoli, which surfaced early this year.

The XLV-Air (eXciting smart Lifestyle Vehicle) is a pre-production model of the promised long-bodied Tivoli, which will be launched early next year, SsangYong says. The three-row, seven-seater SUV will come with a choice of 1.6 litre petrol or diesel engines, Aisin six-speed auto or manual, and two or four wheel drive. The Tivoli’s distinctive rear haunches and thick C-pillars are present.

The other SUV is called the XAV-Adventure, described by its maker as an authentic SUV concept with a contemporary touch. It’s also a reinterpretation of the Korando with a “modern and masculine touch”. It will offer “maximum drivability and off-road capability as a compact authentic SUV,” SsangYong promises.

Below are spyshots of the “big Tivoli”, which has been reported to measure 300 mm longer than the existing 4.2-metre SUV. Not long now before we get full details.

    This SY still not dead yet? Now I will have more supplies of Korean junks and people who beg me to accept them for 25k after 1 year.

  • This car cannot sell in Malaysia because Korando sounds too religious. People will say it is haram and making fun of their Holy Book
