Ssangyong has shown up at the [2012 Paris Motor Show](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/paris motor show) with an [extended-range hybrid](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/extended range hybrid) version of its XIV 2 Coupe showcar. Called the e-XIV Concept, it pairs a 1.0-liter two-cylinder gasoline engine with a 107-horsepower electric motor and a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery to give the vehicle a theoretical total range of around 373 miles. The manufacturer claims the concept is capable of covering 50 miles in pure electric mode, and while it takes a full four hours to charge the battery pack, a 20-minute quick charge is also available. Borrowing from the extended-range hybrid concept playbook of 2005, the e-XIV features a 12-panel solar cell roof for running the vehicle’s accessories.
Don’t expect to see the e-XIV Concept cruising the streets of Beijing anytime soon. Like the XIV 2 Coupe and the XIV 1 B before it, the newest concept from this South Korean company was penned largely as an engineering and design exercise. Take a look at the full press release below for more information.Continue reading Ssangyong e-XIV Concept is going the distance
