Ssangyong Motor unveils rendering of concept car LIV-2

[THE INVESTOR] Ssangyong Motor, owned by India’s auto giant Mahindra & Mahindra, on Sept. 12 released a rendering of its new SUV concept car LIV-2, ahead of the 2016 Paris Motor Show.

Due to make its official debut in Paris, the LIV-2 -- which stands for Limitless Interface Vehicle -- is the next generation of Ssangyong’s Rexton SUV, internally known by project name Y400. 

According to the company, the new car delivers the automaker’s key design concept “dignified motion” more effectively than the predecessor LIV-1, which made a debut at Seoul Motor Show in 2013.

The interior stands out with modern, sleek design, equipped with high-tech infotainment system.

LIV-2 will be unveiled for the first time at the Paris Motor Show set to begin on Oct. 1. The car is expected to go on sale in the first half of next year.
