Tivoli is packed with features

-

SSANgYONG has officially launched the new SsangYong Tivoli XLV, a car ‘packed with features for busy families and those who lead an active an fun-filled life’.

The new SsangYong Tivoli XLV has been named after the unique characteri­stics it offers to customers as 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.

Popular features of the Tivoli, including its ‘harmonious­ly fused SUV body design,’ sports coupé look and floating roofline have been maintained.

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 an Aisin 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, and 25 Watt HID (High Intensity Discharge) lights are also available.

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 comes with a choice of six exterior colours, which can be further personalis­ed through the addition of two-tone body and roof colours to ensure style and further individual­ity.

For the interior there’s the choice of either natural beige or black, and both colour ways can be teamed with deluxe cloth, Geonic-printed TPU, or luxurious real leather. A red leather interior is also available.

The Tivoli XLV includes a comprehens­ive list of standard equipment – items that are often extra on other cars. There are heated front and rear seats and a digital-dual zone automatic air conditioni­ng system.

A newly designed MP3 infotainme­nt system and a 7” high-resolution screen, USB/ AUX port enabling the streaming of content from external audio devices, Bluetooth hands-free, iPod and iPhone connection, all feature in this car. The rear camera view comes as an option.

The instrument cluster colour can be changed according to mood with a choice of six colours (red, blue, yellow, sky blue, white and black), and there is interior mood lighting. The Tivoli XLV will compete in the C-Segment crossover market and the price will start from €25,495 for the entry level diesel.
