Korean automaker SsangYong Motor says it may be rolling out three battery electric vehicles by 2020 at the latest, according to UK boss Paul Williams.

After years of rumors and speculation, Ssangyong’s CEO has confirmed it will enter the U.S. market by 2020.

South Korea’s fourth largest automaker is planning to enter the U.S. market as early as 2019.

Korean automaker Ssangyong is eyeing the U.S. market again, ready to take on Jeep and Land Rover.

It is looking more likely that Korean automaker Ssangyong will make its way to the U.S.

Sometime in the not-too-distant future there could be a new Korean car brand showing up in North American auto malls.

Ssangyong is preparing to enter the North American market, but it will do so under a different name.

South Korea just got themselves a new pickup truck when SsangYong released their new Korando Sports to the market. Based off of their SUT 1 concept that debuted at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, SsangYong is calling the Korando Sports an LUV – Leisure Utility Vehicle.

While Hyundai and Kia are the best known Korean automakers,  Ssangyong, still exists in the rest of the world, and the automaker (who has never sold vehicles in North America) has some very ambitious goals for the near future.

Is America ready for another strange-sounding offshore nameplate? That answer seems irrelevant in light of Ssangyong’s new plans to introduce their vehicles in America by 2016, with a goal to be in the marketplace by 2013.

India’s Mahindra will buy troubled Korean carmaker Ssangyong for $463 million, with Mahindra gaining a 70% stake in the company. The deal is expected to conclude in March, 2011.

India’s Mahindra has nearly completed a purchase of Korean carmaker circus freakshow Ssangyong, maker of the world’s ugliest vehicles.
