Vehicles on Display

C200

The concepts of C200’s exterior and interior are revealed to the public, raising the expectation for
its upcoming launch.

The main concept ‘Attractive Dynamism’ has been successfully transformed into a design that
combines the strength of SUV and the sophisticated look of a luxury sedan. It is more than
Crossover Utility Vehicle. It visualizes a new concept as Compact Urban-styling Eco-friendly
Vehicle. 

C200 is built on a completely new platform with an all new environmentally-friendly engine and a
nimble, sensitive 6-speed automatic transmission.

The size of C200 is optimal for a compact CUV, and the vehicle boasts of its excellent fuel
economy adopting a state-of-art air intake/exhaust and electronic control system. C200 also
satisfies EURO V exhaust standards known as the next-generation European environmental
regulation.

At the 2009 Seoul Motor Show displayed two versions of C200: natural green ECO and deep
purple AERO. The ECO, in fresh and lively green color, magnifies its environmentally-friendly
image. The exterior look is in perfect harmony with its sophisticated interior design that faithfully
responds to the ergonomic needs. The AERO, on the other hand, projects a strong and daring
image as a new car.

Kyron: Diesel Hybrid Technology

This vehicle features a hybrid system where a state-of-art direct infuse diesel engine is paired with
a 340V high voltage battery charged by a 34kW electronic motor. Hybrid drive is realized by
Ssangyong’s indigenous TSD (Torque Split Device) technology which allows the power of electric
motor to start and to halt.

Ssangyong’s Diesel Hybrid Technology is soft-typed, and at the core of the new technology is the
development of HCU (Hybrid Control Unit).

This unit will be a core part that controls the system performance at the optimal level and
performs all safety features protecting the vehicle from high voltage. The HCU as well as an
electronic motor, a motor control unit and high-voltage battery will be mounted on the vehicle to
maximize its characteristics as a hybrid.

The vehicle will be controlled by a software program that is also developed by Ssangyong, and
what makes it more significant is that some core parts of the hybrid vehicle such as electronic
motors, motor controls and high-voltage batteries will be supplied by local vendors.

CEO of Korea’), Chairman H(‘Passion on the Move’’), Rexton(‘Top 1% of Korea’’), Kyron(‘Real SUV’),, Actyon(‘it Syle’’), Actyon Sports, and Rodius(‘Urban Family RV’).
