SsangYong XAVL idea previews 7-seat SUV in Geneva

SsangYong  has exposed a new idea vehicle heading to this year’s Geneva motor Show, previewing a new mid-to-large size SUV from the South Korean firm to rival the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe and Skoda Kodiaq
Called the XAVL idea – the “eXciting Authentic vehicle long SUV” – it develops on the smaller, chunkier XAV idea exposed at the Frankfurt motor show in 2015, slotting in above that design as a five or seven-seater. We expect the XAV to ended up being a production design in 2019, as well as the XAVL might go on sale by the end of the decade too.
