Nissan
Infiniti released the first image of its upcoming concept car, which makes its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 13th. Sebastian Vettel who helped design the concept vehicle will unveil this concept which seems to be based on the Infiniti FX crossover.
Ssangyong Motor Company
Ssangyong Motor Company unveiled a rendering of the “XIV-1” premium CUV concept car. The“XIV-1” is a premium crossover utility vehicle (CUV) concept car that was developed by Ssangyong as a strategic model for the global market. We might have to wait for Ssangyong to tell us how the other vehicle which was reported to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Concept XUV 1 will differ from the XIV-1. There also remains the issue to be sorted that the Concept XUV 1 gets its name from “Excellent User Interface Vehicle 1” whereas the “XIV-1” is composed of the initials for “Exciting User Interface Vehicle,”.
Sketches show both these vehicles to have similar styling except for the XIV badge on the tailgate of the XIV-1.
More to come as we get the information!
