SsangYong will showcase its XIV-2 ‘convertible’ concept car at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

The car is a successor to the XIV-1 concept shown at lasy year’s Frankfurt Show.

SsangYong is developing the XIV-2 (‘eXciting User Interface Vehicle 2’) concept as a premium crossover.

The company says that it is a strategic model for the global market, with a styling cue based around ‘a special experience with fun’ that ‘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.

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.
