Ssangyong is launching its new, compact crossover in the UK market this summer with prices starting from £12,950, offering the choice between front- and all-wheel-drive versions and two 1.6-litre engines.
The all-wheel-drive version will be offered only with the 1.6-litre diesel engine which produces 113hp/3400-4000rpm and 300Nm/1500-2500rpm. Official mpg figures have not been released yet but the CO2 emissions are, with the manual FWD Tivoli 1.6 Diesel to emit 113g/km and the 4WD one raising this figure up to 123g/km. Basic price for the manual EX 4×4 diesel model is set at £17,100.
The petrol unit makes 124hp/6000rpm and 157Nm/4600rpm and is mated to a six-speed manual as standard. An optional six-speed automatic is offered for both engine options.
Three trim levels will be available, SE, EX and ELX with Ssangyong offering for the first time a customization scheme under the name ‘My Tivoli’ to those who want to build the car according to their personal taste.
This personalisation programme includes the Styling Pack which in turn offers 5 different two-tone colour combinations, the Red Leather Pack and two special colours, metallic Jazz Brown and Icecap Blue.
With the small crossover segment being one of the most popular in Europe right now, Ssangyong’s move to launch the Tivoli is a wise one.
