New Ssang Yong XIV-1

Frankfurt Motor Show SsangYong showed the prototype of the XIV-1. This car is still smaller than New Actyon, dimensions: its length is 4140 mm, width – 1830 mm, Height – 1590 mm. At the same time he stretched to 2,600 mm wheelbase. In principle, the company and did not hide the fact that XIV-1 is built on one platform with serial engine.No concept created by a different ideology. Koreans have tried to make a car that more inside than outside. And indeed the faceless acronym XIV-1 stands for «eXciting user Interface Vehicle» (car with extended comfort for the passengers).

When you create a concept designers found inspiration in the form of sailing yachts, which are associated with true pleasure and freedom. A large area of ??glazing, large pillars and a roof with a weightless, floating above like a body, give the impression of lightness and dynamics. The most basic concept of this car – opening doors and no middle rack – so easier access to the cabin. In which, incidentally, only four chairs. At the same seat can be rotated around its axis, making the landing, the landing of the car even easier.

However, he fairly minimalist interior. There is enough simple little front panel (with a poisonous yellow lighting) and the instrument panel. The center console is allocated a kind of tablet PC with touch screen. At the same time company representatives say that most functions can be controlled from a mobile computer.In an official press release says that the car can be equipped with a 1.6-liter gasoline or diesel engine. In a couple of them offered a six-step “mechanics” or ACT with the same number of gears. So it is clearly alluding to the fact that in the near future there will be a serial version of XIV-1. After all, the same happened to the pickup SUT-1, which last spring was a concept, but in Frankfurt appeared in serial form, with virtually no change in design!
