It\u2019s possible that world-famous Italian styling house, Italdesign, founded by Giorgetto Giugiaro, will be involved, having already styled the latest Rexton model.<\/p>\n<p>SsangYong\u2019s new diesel hybrid technology, unveiled at last month\u2019s Geneva Motor Show, is likely to feature in the new model line-up. The South Korean company says that a diesel hybrid can slash CO2 emissions and improve fuel efficiency by 30 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Williams, managing director of British distributor Koelliker UK said: \u201cI have been able to see some of the new models and although I can\u2019t reveal any details, I\u2019m very excited about what\u2019s coming. It\u2019s unlikely that all 20 will be appropriate for the UK, but it will mean a wider and more attractive range with much greater choice for customers. There will be different body styles and engines including passenger cars that will enable us to compete strongly in new market sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the UK SsangYong is best known for building vehicles with a bold desgin:&nbsp; the Kyron, Rexton and Rodius.
