South Korean car manufacturer Ssangyong will usher in a new monocoque design generation when it unveils the C200 crossover at the Seoul Motor Show in April.
Designed by Giugiaro, the C200 will be competing in the same market segment as better-known crossovers like the Toyota Rav4 and the Honda CR-V.
It is powered by a 2.0-liter diesel capable of 173 bhp, mated to a six-speed auto. An alternative manual transmission could be made available.
More details as they get leaked. Stay tuned!

Kia Sorento teaser image
Kia has released some teaser pictures of its new Kia Sorento compact crossover vehicle, which is slated to debut at the Seoul Motor Show this coming April. The teasers show the car’s bigger frame and more-aggressive looks.
The new Sorento will have an added third row of seats, because of the vehicle design’s shift to the platform used by the Hyundai Santa Fe CUV (which is essentially the Sonata platform). This makes the new Sorento larger and longer.
Kia will also be using Hyundai’s Theta II 2.4-liter engine, which goes for 170 horsepower at 170 lb.-ft. of torque. Buyers have an option to get a 3.8-liter V6 engine good for 275 horsepower. Either variant will likely be mated to a six-speed transmission.
The new Kia Sorento will be manufactured in West Point, Georgia.
