SsangYong unveiled yesterday during the Seoul Motor Show opening their two new models - the SsangYong C200 Aero and Eco. The SsangYong C200 is scheduled to go into production later this year and will hit the British showroom floor in maximum a year. Aligning themselves with the current eco-trend, SsangYong made the C200 smaller and lighter than its other models to improve on fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions.
The SsangYong C200 Eco, the green one in the images, obviously, is powered by a diesel hybrid engine. The SsangYong C200 Aero is available with either a 2.0 diesel or a turbocharged 1.8 liter petrol engine.
Both the SsangYong C200 Aero and the Eco comes as standard with a six-speed automatic transmission, but the company also offers a manual.
Styled by Giugiaro’s ItalDesign in Italy, the C200 has a 2.65m wheelbase with an overall length of 4.4m. The car will undergo Euro NCAP crash testing before coming to market.
