exclusive in the automotive world the suv market continues to expand and subdivide and with taurus
we are filling the gap between semi-medium-sized suvs such as corando and large suvs like rexton
sang young said this move will create an additional segment in the market and will open up
new opportunities for us especially as we further develop the product offering and continue to add
value and originality no details have yet been released about the powertrain driving the torres
but the korean manufacturer has confirmed it will go into production this june with plans to launch
an electric variant in the back end of next year the announcement of the torres comes just under
two months after edison motors's takeover bid for sangyong reportedly fell through with the former
and its associates allegedly failing to pay the balance of 226.5 million us dollar by the preset
date however it's understood sangyong pocketed the deposit of around 25 million us dollar u.s dollar
the 2023 sanjiong j-100 electric crossover has been spied undisguised in south korea
an image of the production midsize suv was uploaded to wupa tv on youtube
showing its rear end which will closely follow initial design sketches released in mid-2021
it is expected to be the first all-new model released by the korean brand under a new owner
after it filed for bankruptcy almost two years ago the boxy styling is similar to the likes of
the ford bronco sport and havel dargo nay big dog with upright tail lights and rugged body cladding
although the sanjiong is unique in offering a faux spare wheel holder on the tailgate this example is
finished in navy green paint with silver accents on the rear bumper rear spoiler c-pillar and roof
rails as with the ford and havel and the sanjiong qrando the j-100 is expected to be underpinned by
a unibody platform rather than a body-on-frame architecture like the rexton and musso
extra details such as battery capacity and performance figures are currently
unknown however a new report suggests the j100 codename could make way for the musso nameplate
when the electric suv makes its debut in july according to local media a recent study showed
koreans would like to see the badge make a return what we know as the musa is called
the rexton sportscon in its domestic market with the nameplate last used in korea in 2005.
this means the muso could be forced to undergo a name change for the australian market
the j-100 will be the second all-electric model from sanjiong following the kurando emotion it
will go on sale in korea during the first quarter with a spokesperson for sanjiang australia
confirming the brand will carry out assessment activities with an evaluation vehicle locally
the new developments are part of a corporate rehabilitation for san jian after a group of
investors led by edison motors successfully acquired the mark for 256 million us dollar
