At the 2014 Paris Motor Show, SsangYong is showing two further development concepts, XIV-Air and XIV-Adventure.
Based on the brand's design philosophy of 'Robust, Specialty and Premium' and intended to create a close and emotive connection with owners, this B-segment SUV will become one of SsangYong's most significant strategic models.
The XIV-Air and XIV-Adventure are equipped with several new technologies including a Stop/Start fuel saving system and three mode smart steering with electric power assistance, in addition to an all-wheel drive (AWD) system which SsangYong offers on all its SUV models.
To optimise comfort and convenience for the driver and passengers, features include a smart RDS & Bluetooth audio system, ventilated driver's seat, digital dual-zone air conditioning, rear view parking camera, a sunroof and trip computer. A high level of safety is also assured thanks to advanced ESP, seven air bags (dual front, side, curtain and driver's knee) and high intensity discharge (HID) headlights.
And to meet the most stringent environmental legislation and fuel efficiency requirements, XIV comes with a choice of 1.6 litre petrol and 1.6 diesel Euro 6 engines to ensure low CO² emissions.
Eco-friendly powertrain
XIV-Air and XIV-Adventure are powered by either a 1.6 litre petrol or 1.6 litre diesel engine, and meet the latest exacting Euro 6 emission standards.
Offering various combinations of 6-speed manual and automatic transmission, two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, CO² emission levels are significantly reduced, particularly with the manual transmission where a Stop/Start system and electric power assisted steering also help minimise power loss.
The 1.6 litre eco-friendly diesel engine produces much reduced CO² emissions of 110 - 120g/km (two-wheel drive, manual with Stop/Start), and the 1.6 litre petrol engine delivers a 140 - 150g/km CO² emission level, again with two-wheel drive, manual transmission with Stop/Start.
