SsangYong XAV Concept: Toyota FJ Cruiser Meets High-Tech Honda Element

The SsangYong XAV (for eXciting Authentic Vehicle. Sure, why not) concept just came out at the Seoul Motor Show. The company's CEO introduced it with some comment about #youths and #lifestyle that didn't translate well, but this soft-roader actually looks a little bit awesome.

Indian Autos Blog says the interior has a "scalable layout with a variety of configurations possible depending on passengers or luggage on the trip" plus aluminum trim and suede leather all over the place. Sounds a little swanky for an urban-adventure rig, but this concept is pure eye candy anyway. SsangYong builds some strange-looking SUVs but I don't think this one will make it further than the car show floor.

The XAV is hypothetically powered by a lithium-ion battery'd electric motor on the front axle and a 1.6 liter gasoline engine connected to the rear.
