The XIV-2 is a premium convertible CUV (crossover utility vehicle), and follows in the tracks of SsangYong’s XIV-1 show car, first shown at the IAA in Frankfurt, September 2011.

SsangYong already had 2.0-liter turbo engines ready for this car, but now the concept is being presented as a 1.6-litre Euro 6 compliant, petrol and diesel engines, both linked to a 6-speed manual or an automatic and back by Idle Stop and Go technology (ISG).

The petrol car has 125 PS, while the diesel offers 103 PS, and almost twice as much torque as the gas-burner.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
