      Mahindra-owned Ssangyong has launched the much-awaited Tivoli compact SUV in Korea, yesterday. The similar model might also come to India since SsangYong is looking aggressive with its product strategy in India as well. First unveiled at the Paris Motor Show as the X100 concept, the production spec Tivoli SUV looks quite identical to the concept. The vehicle will target young enthusiasts, and it highlights the company’s new Nature-born 3 language and global intent.

      Ssangyong claims that 40 per cent of the Tivoli is developed by an ‘advanced high strength steel’ or AHSS. Along with the AHSS, the company has implemented a hot press forming process to minimize the impact in the event of a collision. Adding to it, the crossover gets seven airbags including one for the driver’s knees. The interiors of the crossover offer good space for both front and second row occupants and the material quality is top-notch.

      Top-of-the-line variant is equipped with several features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, dual zone automatic climate control, flat-bottomed steering wheel, rearview camera, etc. The Tivoli compact SUV will be offered with a 1.6-litre petrol and diesel fuel options. The vehicle offers good 423-litres of boot space, which can be further expanded by folding the rear seats.

      Speaking at the launch, Anand Mahindra, chairman, Mahindra Group said, “The Tivoli marks a significant new milestone in the growing partnership between Mahindra and Ssangyong. This SUV epitomises the spirit of ‘Korea-can-do’ and reflects Ssangyong’s rich legacy of innovation in product development.”
