This month’s Paris Auto Show will see SsangYong lifting the wraps off a new concept study for a range-extender electric crossover named the e-XIV.
The prototype that was teased in these sketches is an evolution of the XIV-2 Concept displayed at the Geneva International Auto Salon this past March, which itself was a three-door version of the XIV-1 Concept from the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show.
The newest iteration of SsangYong’s B-segment CUV (crossover utility vehicle) replaces the XIV-2’s 1.6-liter engine with a range-extender drivetrain that uses an electric motor for its motivation with a small petrol engine charging the car’s batteries.
The e-XIV also gets a glass roof that not only provides enhanced visibility for passengers, but also incorporates solar cell panels that offer additional energy.
The concept measures 4,160mm long, 1,790mm wide, 1,575mm high, and rides on a 2,600mm wheelbase.
More information on the e-XIV will be released upon its introduction at the Paris Motor Show on September 27.
Thanks for the tip Bruno!
