Autoweek.nl are saying that Roewe will be hitting the Netherlands pretty soon, but under the guise of the Ssangyong brand.
SsangYong gaat in de komende jaren het programma flink uitbreiden. Naast SUV’s en MPV’s komen normale personenauto’s in de prijslijst. Die rijden in China al rond als Roewe en komen in 2009 bij ons als SsangYong op de markt.
SsangYong is van huis uit een Koreaans merk maar is inmiddels opgeslokt door het Chinese SAIC-concern. Daaronder valt ook Roewe dat voorkomt uit de failliete boedel van het Engelse MG Rover. SAIC heeft besloten de Roewes op de Europese markt om te dopen tot SsangYong omdat het merk zo kan meeliften op het dealernetwerk dat al door geheel Europa is vertakt.
Aanvankelijk wilde SsangYong al dit jaar met personenauto’s op de markt komen. Maar de Chinezen pakken het zorgvuldig aan en willen goed beslagen ten ijs komen met bijvoorbeeld de veiligheid. Daarom is de boel een jaar vertraagd. SsangYong trapt af met een auto in het D-segment. Dat wordt de productieversie van deze W2 concept car, die vorig jaar is getoond. Daarna volgt een groter model. In de loop van de tijd moet een compleet personenautoprogramma ontstaan.
We dont speak a lick of Netherland’ish (or Spanish), so you’ll just have to take our word (and the word from the news tipster who sent it to us - thanks for that, by the way)
Check out the article, and the comments on the Autoweek.nl website.
Then maybe they can just change the name when it hits different market then.

Nederland’ish? You mean Dutch?
Hello again.
I can read Dutsh, the language spoken in the Netherlands You need to read many languages to move accross Europe
The news says that SsangYong(korean car company, currently making only SUV’s) will import the Roewe under their own brand for the Dutch market
By the way, Dutch and Spanish are completely different as Chinese and Korean can be as languages
Thanks for the translation help, Francesc.
I don’t think she meant that Spanish and Dutch were similar - a recently posted video just happened to be in Spanish, and Ash was simply remarking that the Dutch article was yet another in a language that she does not understand.
I think Ash is a “he”
Seriously?
Well damnit, that’s embarrassing.
SsangYong will extend the programme in the coming years considerably. Beside SUV and MPV to come normal private car in the list. Those drive round in China already as Roewe and come in 2009, at us as SsangYong on the market.
SsangYong are of house from a Korean mark but have been meanwhile swallowed by Chinese SAIC-concern. Below also Roewe fall that prevent from the bankrupt boedel of English MG Rover. SAIC have the Roewes on the European market decided to SsangYong baptise because the mark is possible this way meeliften on concessionnaire network which has been already branched off by whole Europe.
Initially wild SsangYong all this year with private car on the market come. But the Chinezen tackle it carefully and want well bay at ice come with for example the security. For this reason the affair has slowed down a year. SsangYong kick off with a car in the d segment
That becomes the production version of these W2 concept car, which has been shown previous year. Afterwards a larger model follows. In the course of the time a complete private car programme must arise
Lol at ’she’!
Alright, alright! Sorry!
Its ok Harriete Im sure Ash understands.
