XAVL stands for Exciting Authentic Vehicle Long, which is an exciting large-sized vehicle developed from the XAV model that debuted at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The XAVL is also inspired by Ssangyong's quite successful Korando model from the 90s.

Initial sketches show the car with simple yet angular lines that are masculine and strong. This style is also reflected in the interior, with a minimalist cabin layout. A centrally located infotainment system, a circular knob on the center console that acts as a gear lever, and a number of airplane-style control buttons.

Ssangyong says the XAVL comes with a host of safety features to protect the driver, passengers and pedestrians. It will be available in both petrol and diesel versions.

If put into production, this SUV will slot between the Korando and Rexton; however, the Korean automaker has not made an official decision.
