This time around the automaker has revealed the XAVL (eXciting Authentic Vehicle Long concept), which is indeed inspired by the classic Korando model from the 1990’s. The upcoming seven seat vehicle will be available in petrol as well as diesel engine options.
The automaker has not revealed technical specifications or feature details for the upcoming model yet. However, SsangYong states that the XAVL concept will offer ample interior space for the occupants along with a set of safety aids for the driver, passengers as well as the pedestrians. It is to be seen if the XAVL concept might be offered as a replacement to the Korando or might be a whole new model.
