Ssangyong displays four products at Delhi Auto Expo
The Rexton will be launched in the Indian market within the next 6 months, brought through the CKD route. In 2011 Ssangyong witnessed a growth of 40% YoY and by entering India, they hope to put up a better performance in 2012.
The Korando E (White) displayed at the exposition uses a 120kw battery which gives it a range of 180km and a top speed of 150kph.
The XIV-1 Concept (Orange color) bundles together the attributes of a B-segment SUV with the affordable running costs of a small family car. The XIV-1 concept stands for ‘eXciting user Interface Vehicle.’ The car's four seats can rotate through 360 degrees in addition to moving backward and forward.
The XIV-1's audio system, the display of information on the dashboard and online communication can be controlled via the user's smartphone. This is not a distant reality anymore as the iPhone and iPad with powerful applications will soon be able to take over many controls of the car.
The Rexton (Violet) is a 7 seater in the segment having the Toyota Fortuner and the Nissan X-Trail. It is powered by a 2.7 litre turbocharged common-rail diesel engine good for 184 PS power and 402 Nm torque.
The Korando E is an electric vehicle concept based on the Korando C. Mahindra surprisingly did not showcase the diesel powered Korando.
The Actyon Sports (Blue) pickup truck is powered by a 2-liter engine producing 360Nm of torque.
