SsangYong is not normally a brand whose styling we're comfortable with, but this SIV-1 Concept represents a marked improvement in the company's aesthetics - even if we're still not in love with its high-waisted look.

This midsize crossover concept is poised to spawn a production model, but unfortunately the Korean automaker isn't providing any details about its powertrain or availability. Instead, SsangYong is only too happy to talk about the four-seat CUV's inscrutable "Nature Born 3 Motion" design philosophy, its interior tech and the "nano tube technology-based high function heat coating" that's been applied to the windows to keep them clear in bad weather.
