This model, which will take on the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson in South Korea and many other countries, looks like the SIV-2, a concept from March 2016’s Geneva motor show. In European markets, the engines will be turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol and 1.6-litre diesel units.
There will also be an electric SUV, to be based on the Korando. Its development code is E100.
