SsangYong will reveal their new concept vehicle - an innovative new compact cross-over concept.
The Concept XUV 1 has at its core the ideals of a moving communication space. SsangYong’s designers set

A showcase for the latest SsangYong design capabilities, the Concept XUV 1 uses extensive glass areas along
with carefully curved bodywork to look imposing without seeming to appear ‘aggressive’. The wraparound
windscreen visually extends the glass area virtually uninterrupted to the large C-pillars, complemented by a
full length glass roof.
Described by its designers as a CUV – Cross-over Utility Vehicle – the Concept XUV 1 illustrates the image
of SsangYong vehicles coupled with an appearance highlighting speed and power. The innovative interior design
introduces new 1+1+2 or 1+3 seating layouts, challenging conventional cabin design and highlighting the
flexibility available from SsangYong’s latest platform technology.
The spacious interior is also packed with the latest automotive technology, leading to the show car’s name:
Concept XUV 1 is derived from Excellent User Interface Vehicle 1. All major cabin functions are controlled via
mobile devices and smart instruments, while the coach style door offers easy access to the futuristic cabin.
All this versatility comes within the confines of a compact B segment sized vehicle, a sector which has
experienced rapid growth in cross-over models in recent years. Offering the high seating position and rugged
feel of a full sized SUV without any compromise in running costs, cross-over models on a supermini scale are
fast becoming the ideal motoring solution for today’s European driver.
