SsangYong has released today the first images and details of their new SsangYong SUT 1 concept which will have its world premiere at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, between 3-13 March. The SsangYong SUT 1 concept represents a stylish pickup truck that will most probably spawn a production version in the near future.
The SsangYong SUT 1 concept is roughly the same size as the Actyon Sports, measuring 4,985mm on length, 1,910mm in width and 1,755mm in height. The SsangYong SUT 1 concept has a 3,060mm wheelbase and promises to comply with the Euro 5 CO2 emissions standards.
The SsangYong SUT 1 concept is powered by a 2.0 liter diesel engine developing 155 PS and 360 Nm
of torque between 1,500 rpm and 2,800 rpm. At this point, the performance numbers of the SsangYong SUT 1 concept have not been revealed yet.
The production version of the SsangYong SUT 1 concept will be put on sale with a choice between a 6-speed manual or an automatic gearbox and with both, two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive. The SsangYong SUT 1 production version is expected to be for sale in early 2012, but its price list has not been announced yet.
SsangYong Press Release:
SSANGYONG TO SHOW SUT 1 CONCEPT AT GENEVA
SsangYong will show a stylish new concept of its popular Actyon Sports at the Geneva Motor Show, 3-13 March.
While maintaining the essential characteristics of a traditional pick-up, this concept presents a more contemporary look to reflect the styling expected of today’s Sports Utility Truck.
The concept is similar in size to the current
Actyon Sports - 4,985mm long x 1,910mm wide x 1,755mm high, and with a generous 3,060mm wheelbase. Satisfying environmental demands for Euro 5 compliance, the new 2.0 liter diesel engine produces a maximum output of 155ps and maximum torque of 360Nm. Optimum torque is delivered across a low yet broad rev range of 1,500-2,800rpm, giving effortless acceleration from low engine speeds.
The new model will offer the choice of either 6-speed manual or automatic transmission in either
2-wheel or 4-wheel drive models. It will go on sale across Europe and other markets from early 2012.
