SsangYong has been showing off its latest model, the C200, at the Seoul motor show.

The car is the latest in a line of butch small cars, such as the Toyota Urban Cruiser and Kia Soul, and is expected to reach the UK within the next 12 months.

It is powered by either a 2.0-litre diesel or 1.8-litre petrol engine, although it's not known yet if UK customers will get the choice of both engines straight away.

There will also be a diesel hybrid version, called the C200 Eco, arriving at a later date.

The car can be either two- or four-wheel drive, but again it's unclear which version will be available in the UK.

The car has been styled by Giuguaro's Italdesign in Italy and, if you take a look at the interior, you might be reminded of a Fiat Grande Punto.

SsangYong is also showing a diesel hybrid-powered version of its Kyron 4x4 at the Seoul motor show.
