Local media reports suggests that the new model will now not be released this year, as previously planned.

Ssangyong said it will call in riot police to end the occupation of its plant by striking workers unless they disperse by early next week.
Thousands of workers armed with metal pipes and firebombs have been occupying the carmaker’s plant at Pyeongtaek, 70 km (44 miles) south of Seoul, in protest against planned mass redundancies.
