At the end of 2019, in a presentation to the press, SsangYong warned us that they were working on an electric car, his first 100% electric vehicle. The car in question, still in the testing phase, is called "E100 project”. At the moment we have not been able to see it, nor do we have all the information we would like, but the brand has left us some images as a teaser.
This first electric car from SsangYong will it be an SUV model. In addition, the Asian company has confirmed that it will take the basis of a very successful model, the SsangYong Korando, which has recently been renovated. Its arrival on the market is scheduled for the first half of 2021, so, we believe, it will not take long to be fully revealed.
At the moment, seeing the teaser images that accompany this article, it is clear that it will be an SUV vehicle. Comment SsangYong what will it be de medium size, spacious, versatile and with a modern design language. It will belong to the C-SUV segment.
We do not know exactly how they will do it, but from the firm they declare that it will highlight the use of new materials which will result in greater efficiency. We do know that the hood will be made entirely of aluminum and that, as with all electrics, the grill will be sealed. They intend it to be an urban style body with bright and aerodynamic lines. Also that the interior is spacious and usable.
When the brand informed us of the first steps of this E100 Project, it told us that its approximate dimensions would be 4,40 meters long, 1.86 meters wide and 1.62 meters high, in addition to a wheelbase of 2,65 meters. In addition, he told us about the benefit forecasts, with a power close to 190 hp, using a 61,5 kWh battery. The idea was to achieve a approximate real autonomy of 330 kilometers. Anyway, this data can dance.
As if all this were not enough, SsangYong confirmed that in 2024 they will have a specific platform for electric vehicles. From there, it is very likely that we will see a totally new brand, betting heavily on the total or partial electrification of a good part of its products.
