The SsangYong Tivoli is a mini SUV made by the SsangYong Motor Company. It is SsangYong's first new model under Mahindra & Mahindra ownership.[2] The car is named after the Italian town of Tivoli, Lazio, and was chosen because it can be read as "I lov it" in reverse.[3]
The Tivoli was in testing and development for the three years prior to its announcement in November 2014 and was revealed in concept with the project name X100. It was launched in South Korea in January 2015.[4]
The Tivoli is offered with a choice of petrol or diesel 1.6-litre engines and is available in two or four-wheel drive. It is equipped with a six-speed manual or AISIN automatic gearbox, which SsangYong claims is as quick and efficient as a dual-clutch setup.[2][5][6] A long-body version of Tivoli is scheduled for 2016.
Tivoli was chosen as the 2016 Family Car of the Year by VAB, the largest automobile association in Belgium,[7] despite SsangYong being a relatively unknown brand selling only 619 cars in Belgium throughout 2014, representing a market share of 0.13%.[8]
