SsangYong may have pulled the cover off the new
generation Rexton earlier this year, but the Korean automaker is already
looking into its successor. Expected to
arrive in 2021, CarMagazine reports that it will be more exciting to look at,
as the SUV will be penned by the famous styling studio Pininfarina, according
to the brand's CEO, Jong Sik Choi.
Both Pininfarina and SsangYong are part of the Mahindra
Group, after the former was acquired almost two years ago in a deal that's
believed to have been worth around US$ 28 million.
It's still too early to talk about its platform or
engine lineup, but besides using the styling house to design it, the Indian automaker
Mahindra is also looking into launching a Pininfarina-designed electric
supercar, earlier sources revealed. It
will be aimed at the US and Chinese markets, it could borrow some styling
tweaks from the H2 Speed Concept that was presented at the 2016 Geneva Motor
Show.
