Recently, some overseas media exposed a group of spy photos of SsangYong's new pure electric SUV products. Judging from the tough design style and the shape of the grille, headlights and other elements, the new car is the pure electric SUV codenamed J100 that SsangYong previously announced the design sketch. The spy photo shooting location is located in South Korea, from the degree of camouflage, the exterior design of the new car has been basically fixed, and it should not be far from officially meeting us. In addition, according to the information previously released, the new car may be equipped with a battery pack developed by SsangYong and BYD.
In terms of appearance, from the spy photos, the overall design of the new car is basically the same as the sketch previously announced, equipped with the porous grille design commonly found on hard-riding off-road vehicles, but in fact, the grille adopts a closed layout, with only black trim panels and vertical trim strips as decorations. The headlight design of the new car is also very distinctive, the LED daytime running lights with multi-fold angle design are fully recognizable, and the small size round headlights are also very hardcore SUV style. The intake opening of the new car also adopts a square shape, with the vertical black trim plate on both sides and the square shape, which integrates the hard style and the sense of technology very well.
At present, the specific body size of the new car has not been announced, from the picture, the new car or will position medium or medium and large SUV, the side shape is quite large, the C-pillar position design has a relatively stout trim, a large number of flat straight line application, but also highlights a strong sense of power. In terms of the rear, the tail lights of the new car adopt a vertical layout, and the internal light group shape is also more complicated. The rear door of the new car is arranged with side doors and is equipped with a large white trim panel in the center, which is very recognizable.
Previously, SsangYong and BYD have signed a cooperation agreement, according to the content of the agreement, the two sides will jointly develop the core components of the power battery pack, and even the pure electric platform twin engine will also cooperate. At present, it can be determined that SsangYong's first pure electric model U100 will be equipped with a battery pack developed by the two parties, so the J100 also has a high probability of adopting the same strategy.
