The price from 16.990 Euro, the Koreans bring the Ssangyong XLV (2016) on the market. With the SUV, the manufacturer wants to increase its sales significantly and gain new customers. The crash test rating is, however, rather poor.

With the Ssangyong XLV (2016) switches from the Korean manufacturer to attack and pursue ambitious goals. At a price from 16.990 euros, the XLV come as a larger Version of the Tivoli to the 200 German retailers – exactly when is not known.

Compared to its predecessor, the Ssangyong XLV (2016) stretches to 20 inches in length, to a total of 4,44 meters. Under the hood nothing is changing, also the big brother, there are two 1.6-litre engines: A 128-horsepower gasoline engine or a Diesel with 115 HP. Both engines combined, the Ssangyong XLV (2016) on request with all-wheel drive and with a six-speed automatic. The price then rises, although on at least 23,490 a Euro, but you then also wonderfully calm and relaxed, enjoys at least 300 Newton metres of torque, a certain amount of sovereignty, and pushing with up to 174 km/h on the left lane. The Sport setting for the gearbox and the three different Level for the power steering seem to be exaggerated in the light of these figures a bit. More steering assistance when Manoeuvring well and good – but a private dynamic program would not have been necessary.

The price of the Ssangyong XLV will start at 16.990 EUR

While the Ssangyong XLV (2016) loses the outside compared to the charming Tivoli gardens a bit, primarily because of the stretched rear has a arg is smooth and its special character of losing, there are indoor except for the space, no difference. Instead of skimpy 420 of the somewhat rugged trunk holds now proud to 720 liters – and as the folding rear seat is not included. As a veritable competitor to the VW Tiguan, and at the same time, an everyday family car is from the opponents of the Opel Mokka. With the red button in the consoles and the fresh colors in the Cockpit of the Ssangyong XLV (2016) it drives for a Korean on the one hand, unusually colorful, but on the other hand, with hard plastics, sharp edges, and the rubber bands on the back of the backrests of the front seats, that Red was the preferred color in the pin of the Controller.

Although the Koreans have great hopes the new Ssangyong XLV (2016) and calculate the current with a very similar share of total sales. But all alone, this Duo is not to cope with the further expansion of the brand. Gain is already in sight. In the next year, a new Rexton comes in and in Seoul, you already put a Hand on the next Generation of the Korando. These cars are in need of the Koreans, however, if you want to reach your ambitious goals. Because not only in Germany, Ssangyong has a lot of, but also in the world: from the current level Of around 150 000, the brand wants to grow in the next few years, to 250 000 vehicles.

Crash test results: Euro NCAP-crash test of the Ssangyong XLV (2016) shows significant weaknesses. The security package brings with him, however, with four stars for a slightly better overall rating than the standard version (three stars). Particularly in serious injury to both adults and children in frontal crashes threaten here. Just the seats on the rear bench are not to be considered as especially safe. In the case of the adult occupants of the XLV has reached a total of 82 per cent (security package), or 74 percent of the points. The security of the child becomes, in both cases, 55 percent. Also pedestrians are protected in a Crash, only moderately, so that the standings with 65 percent of the (security package), or 55 percent, is likely to be moderate. Even if the emergency brake assistant will be evaluated by Euro NCAP, well the better-equipped XLV  get;only 43 percent of the possible points. The basic Version is 25 percent. Thus, the SsangYong XLV obtained the same results as the smaller Tivoli.
