Ssangyong announced today the details of the diesel engine that joins the Tivoli range.

The new compact SUV arrived earlier this summer in the European market available only as a 124hp 1.6-litre petrol model, but now customers can go for the ever-important diesel version as well.

The new e-XGi160 1.6-litre diesel engine produces 115ps (113hp) between 3,400 and 4,000rpm and 300Nm of torque (221lb ft) at 1,500-2,500rpm, returning 113g/km of CO2 emissions and 4.3lt/100km (65.7mpg UK) combined in 2WD manual guise.

The Ssangyong Tivoli is offered with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard and a six-speed auto as an option. The company says that the 4WD models will arrive later this year with UK cars to be covered by a five-year limitless mileage warranty.

“With the introduction of diesel we can now offer greater power, increased economy and a 1.5 tonne towing capability, while also underlining the SsangYong proposition of value for money, backed by a warranty no one else can match”, said Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong UK.

Prices in the UK start at £12,950 for the petrol models and £14,200 for the diesel ones.
