SsangYong Tivoli 2015– car dimensions: 4195 mm long, 1795 mm wide and 1590 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,270 kg. Braked towing is 1,500 kg.
The cabin offers good space for five with a near-flat rear floor and plenty of storage cubbies. Base models have manual air conditioning and cruise control as standard. Higher grades add dual-zone climate control, a 7- or 8-inch touchscreen, rear parking sensors and a reversing camera. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning and lane keep assist arrived later in the generation on select trims.
Boot space measures 423 litres with seats up, enough for three golf bags, and expands to 1115 litres with the 60/40 rear seats folded flat.
Petrol models tow 1000 kg braked while diesels reach 1500 kg braked, both with 500 kg unbraked. Payload sits around 540 kg depending on version. AWD with multi-link rear suspension aids light off-road or towing work but no heavy-duty cooling or reinforced setup is listed.
The cabin feels roomy for the class with a wide interior, supportive semi-bucket seats that recline, and a nearly flat rear floor. Higher grades add leather or leather-look trim, dual-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel and front seat heaters or ventilation. A powered sunroof is available on some versions. Materials are solid with soft-touch areas up front and good storage.
1.6-litre petrol or diesel engines available with manual or automatic and optional AWD
Service intervals typically every 12 months or 10,000-15,000 km depending on market and engine
Euro NCAP 4-star rating (with safety pack. later made standard)
Seven airbags standard including driver’s knee bag
ESP, active rollover protection, hill start assist and tyre pressure monitoring standard
Fuel comes from efficient 1.6 petrol and diesel units that meet Euro 6 standards. Idle stop-go is fitted on manuals to cut emissions and improve economy in traffic. Combined figures sit in the mid-range for the class depending on drivetrain.
Servicing follows a straightforward annual or mileage-based schedule. Petrol models often need attention every 10,000 miles or 12 months while diesels stretch a little further in some markets. Chain-driven engines avoid cambelt changes. A five-year warranty covers most markets.
Safety starts with a strong body using high-strength steel in key areas. Seven airbags, ESP with rollover protection, brake assist and seatbelt reminders are standard. Euro NCAP awarded four stars once the optional AEB pack became available, later fitted as standard. ISOFIX points are included.
Living with the Tivoli is simple thanks to the long warranty and available service plans. Regular checks keep the car reliable. Higher trims add parking sensors and cameras that ease daily use.
