SsangYong will unveil its XAVL SUV concept at the 2017 International Geneva Motor Show next month.

The company says the XAVL is a further iteration of the XAV concept which was presented at the Frankfurt motor show in 2015. Inspired by the classic Korando model of the 1990s, XAVL – the eXciting Authentic Vehicle Long SUV – is described as presenting “a tough and masculine looking SUV concept that blends advanced convenience and the practicality of a multi-purpose MPV”.

The XAVL accommodates seven passengers and is also equipped with a suite of new safety aids for pedestrians as well as the driver and passengers, and is powered by both petrol and new clean-burning diesel engines.
