C200 Eco Concepts and Ssangyong C200 Aero .

This is the new Ssangyong C200 Aero and Eco concepts, I think you can guess which is Aero and which is Eco, just look at the more �Eco� colour for the Eco. Ssangyong calls this Audi-like machine tyled by Giugiaro ItalDesign a �CUV� or Compact Urban Vehicle when in reality it�s a compact SUV, but if BMW can call their X6 a coupe I suppose anything goes.

The new CUV has a 2,650mm wheelbase and a length of 4,400mm, which is actually smaller than the BMW X3. It�s more of the length of the short wheelbase latest generation RAV4 with the wheelbase of the long wheelbase RAV4.

The Ssangyong C200 Aero uses a turbocharged 1.8 liter engine while the C200 Eco uses a 2.0 liter turbodiesel. Both are mated to a 6-speed automatic by default but Ssangyong says they will also make available a manual for those who prefer to do their own cog-shifting.
