After showing off their Tivoli XLV 7-seater in Geneva a few months back, SsangYong is finally launching the car in Europe, announcing that it will arrive in the UK this summer.
The Tivoli XLV shares the same platform and wheelbase with the the regular Tivoli, except for the lengthened body that becomes obvious once you move past the C pillar. It marks an increase of 238 mm (9.3 in) over the standard car while expanding the loading capacity to 720 cubic liters (25.4 cu ft). According to SsangYong, the Tivoli XLV is ideal for lugging baby buggies and cots for small children, bikes and golf clubs for the adults and materials or business equipment during the work week if need be.
Safety-wise, there are seven airbags present, including front, side and curtain airbags, plus a driver’s knee airbag. Other important systems include the Active Rollover protection, Brake Assist, Hill Start Assist and ESS (Emergency Spot Signal), while comfort features such as a 7″ high-res touch screen, Tom-Tom navigation and a rear view camera are also present.
In terms of performance, the XLV comes with 1.6-liter Euro 6 diesel engine, good for 115 PS and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque. Fuel economy can go up to 62.8 mpg (4.5l/100km) on a combined cycle, while CO2 emissions even out at 117g/km.
In a straight line, the Tivoli XLV will hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 12 seconds flat before maxing out at 109 mph (175 km/h).
