SSANGYONG Motors Ireland recently launched the new Tivoli XLV to the Irish market.

An exciting addition to the Tivoli platform, the XLV is equipped with advanced technology and state-of-the-art features, which will accommodat­e the needs of individual lifestyles and allow drivers to enjoy life’s adventures in affordable comfort and style.

The new SsangYong Tivoli XLV has been named after the unique characteri­stics it offers to customers. A versatile and flexible SUV which adapts easily to the individual lifestyles of those who drive it demonstrat­ing that practical, smart functional­ities can be beautiful and exciting. Extended load space up to 720 litres, expansive room in the cabin enough to fit 5 tall adults and impressive additional features as standard are some of the way the new Tivoli XLV allows all drivers release their adventurou­s side.

‘ The XLV is a great looking car offering multi-function solutions to a wide range of customers with the versatilit­y to meet the needs of many busy lifestyles,’ according to Joe Harris, Managing Director of SsangYong Motors Ireland.

‘I am delighted to see that the popular features of the Tivoli, such as its harmonious­ly fused SUV body design. The additional storage space in the boot and the flexibilit­y of the rear folding seats should it be needed demonstrat­es how this is a car which can accommodat­e a variety of lifestyles.’

Generously spacious leg, shoulder and head room in the cabin which comfortabl­y fits five tall adults is among the key selling points of the Tivoli XLV which also features a lengthened body from behind the C pillar – an increase of 238mm over the existing Tivoli.

The e-XDi160 Euro 6 diesel engine produces 115ps/3,400 – 4,000rpm maximum power with 300Nm/1,500 – 2,500rpm, and with its fifth generation E-VGT turbocharg­er delivers a smooth, progressiv­e and powerful driving experience. The 1.6 litre diesel engine achieves a CO2 emission level of just 117g/km (two-wheel drive, manual transmissi­on with Stop/Start). Two transmissi­ons are offered: a 6-speed manual transmissi­on and a 6-speed automatic.

Passenger safety has been a top priority for the car, and comes with seven airbags including front, side and curtain airbags plus a driver’s knee airbag, multi-function ESP (Electronic Stability Program), Active Rollover Protection, Brake Assist, Hill Start Assist and ESS (Emergency Stop Signal), a tyre pressure monitoring system and a warning reminder on all five seat belt positions. LED daytime running lights and projection headlights are standard.

The SsangYong DNA is all about 4x4, and the Tivoli XLV reflects this philosophy by being available with an intelligen­t 4WD system. The electronic­ally controlled on-demand system distribute­s power to front and rear drive shafts, and automatica­lly adjusts to the road surface and driving conditions to optimise performanc­e. The Tivoli XVL 4x4 features multi-link rear suspension for a comfortabl­e drive on the road, and increased wheel articulati­on for optimum grip off-road.

For increased stability and reassuranc­e, particular­ly when driving on a hill or slope, the 4WD operates with Hill Start Assist which helps by delivering power to any wheels that are spinning. And for optimised braking performanc­e, ESP and ABS controls the 4x4 system for greater safety.

The Tivoli XLV includes a comprehens­ive list of standard equipment – items that are often extra on other cars.
