Ssangyong says bidders shortlisted to six

SEOUL, June 4 (Reuters) - South Korean SUV maker Ssangyong Motor (003620.KS), said on Friday it had shortlisted six out of seven firms submitting letters of intent to buy the troubled carmaker, under court-led restructuring since early 2009.

Ssangyong declined to disclose the disqualified bidder among the seven, which included France's Renault SA (RENA.PA) and India's top utility vehicle maker Mahindra (MAHM.BO). [ID:nTOE64R01B] [ID:nLDE64S06R]

South Korea's smallest carmaker is 6.2 percent owned by China's SAIC Motor Corp. (600104.SS).
