Korean automaker SsangYong used the 2009 Seoul Motor Show to reveal two new and closer to production, concept versions of its forthcoming C200 crossover that is scheduled for production later this year and should reach European shores by early 2010. Dubbed by the company a compact urban vehicle (CUV), the C200 Eco concept which is the green colored version you seen in the pictures, is equipped with a diesel-hybrid powertrain while the 'blacked-out' Aero version comes with a choice of a 175HP 2.0 turbo diesel or turbocharged 1.8 liter petrol engines.

Penned by Giugiaro's ItalDesign in Italy, the C200 has a 2.65m wheelbase with an overall length of 4.4m which makes it a competitor to the Toyota RAV4 and VW Tiguan. According to SsangYong, the compact crossover will undergo Euro NCAP crash testing before entering the market.
