Korean automaker [SsangYong](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ssangyong-torres) has a long and proud tradition of crafting together some pretty impressive SUVs, but these new SUV concepts -- which are all set to be unveiled at the upcoming Geneva International Motor Show -- hint at an even more exciting future for the brand.

The new SUV concepts are dubbed the Tivoli XLV -- a modified version of the popular Tivoli vehicle -- and the SIV-2, a so-called '[mild hybrid' crossover concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-volvo-xc90).

The Tivoli will offer up 126 horsepower and 160 pounds-feet of torque, while the SIV-2 comes equipped with a turbocharged gas engine that works in conjunction with a 10-Kilowatt motor generator.

With their [hybrid powertrains and sleek designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rav4), these SUV concepts ably blend cost-effectiveness, eco-friendly design and powerful performance.
