During the passage of the Paris World Auto Show, the launch date of this motor show is scheduled for September 29, the Korean auto brand SsangYong will officially demonstrate a new conceptual model of a crossover, on the platform of which a new generation will be assembled SsangYong Rexton. Но до этого еще пара недель, а сегодня менеджеры марки опубликовали первые изображения будущего кроссовера новой генерации. Этот концептуальный "мул" получил кодовое имя LIV-2and глядя на его дизайн, становится понятно, что перед тобой не что иное как преобразованный концепт LIV-1, которого корейцы представляли ровно три года назад. Менеджеры SsangYong новый автомобиль представляют не иначе как крупноразмерный кроссовер премиального класса. О том, что находится под капотом концептуального "всепроходца"and на какие внедорожные подвиги он будет соответственно способен, пока, по понятным причинам, не разглашается. As the Koreans themselves assure, the SUV, which will be assembled based on this conceptual model, will go into serial production by the end of the future, 2017. What kind of SUV it will be is not yet known reliably, but many analysts are inclined to think that this is just about a new generation of the SsangYong Rexton crossover. At the moment, the novelty is on the technical documentation of developers under the code name Y400. Despite the reticence of the Koreans in terms of the technical features of the novelty, something nevertheless became known. The new SUV will be based on a new type of frame, This type of frame is also called "stair". This will allow the SUV to lose at least fifty kilograms. This, of course, when it comes to a two-ton car, is not enough, but nevertheless, it will somewhat change the dynamic characteristics of the new crossover. Under the hood of the novelty, as it became rumored, it is likely to be “registered” 2.2 liter diesel with 178 horsepowerand two-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, the power of which, however, does not say anything.

There are also suggestions that new generation SsangYong Rexton will be equipped with Mercedes 7 and 8-range automatic transmissions.

In addition to the new generation SsangYong Rexton, the Korean brand will be pleased to send a new compact crossover, based on the XAV concept, presented by the Koreans a year ago.
