The XIV B-segment SUV series has been shown in various iterations at recent international motor shows, beginning with the IAA Frankfurt in 2011. Now nearing its international launch, XIV is expected to go on sale in Korea from early 2015 and other global markets soon afterwards, with anticipated annual sales of some 100,000 vehicles. At the 2014 Paris Motor Show, SsangYong is showing two further development concepts, XIV-Air and XIV-Adventure. Based on the brand's design philosophy of 'Robust, Specialty and Premium' and intended to create a close and emotive connection with owners, this B-segment SUV will become one of SsangYong's most significant strategic models. The XIV-Air and XIV-Adventure are equipped with several new technologies including a Stop/Start fuel saving system and three mode smart steering with electric power assistance, in addition to an all-wheel drive (AWD) system which SsangYong offers on all its SUV models.
