While the SsangYong XAV-Adventure concept previewed a small SUV, the SsangYong XAVL concept previews a bigger model positioned below the SsangYong Rexton. The SsangYong XAVL concept is inspired by the second generation SsangYong Korando of the 1990s. Short for 'eXciting Authentic Vehicle Long (SUV)', the XAVL concept is a seven-seat mid-size SUV to be targeted at the likes of the Skoda Kodiaq and Hyundai Santa Fe.

Without revealing the dimensions or equipment details, SsangYong says that the XAVL provides wider inner space with a user-friendly interface, that includes connected car technology and digital display. The concept SUV is equipped with an array of advanced safety systems to protect the pedestrians, driver and passengers, and will come with petrol and new clean diesel engine options.
