Tivoli Review

KGM bought SsangYong in 2022, saving the brand from liquidation. To align with the new KGM brand name, the Tivoli has been the first SsangYong model to receive a facelift with changes to the bodywork as well as some tweaks inside as well. The 2024 Tivoli mixes style with practicality and effortlessly captures attention with its new modern design complete with all the technology you need. The Tivoli boasts award-winning comfortable seats with enough space in the rear for three passengers, ensuring every journey is comfortable for everyone. Backed by a reliable 5 Year Manufacturer's Warranty, the Tivoli SUV not only promises excitement, but offers long-term peace of mind. Join us as we explore this innovative SUV that is setting new standards under the new KGM brand bringing more style, comfort and technology than ever before. 

The Tivoli stands as a testament to the marriage of power and style, boasting a powerful, bold, and confident stance that unmistakably screams SUV. The vehicle's updated shape presents impeccable proportions, highlighted by a bold bonnet line and the generous use of LED light sources, presenting an innovative and modern look that catches the eye. The new facelift has introduced a smaller top grille, a larger lower grille opening, and the removal of the SsangYong badge in favour of asymmetrical Tivoli lettering. New 18" Alloy Wheels have also appeared on the Ultimate models, along with new skirts and a faux skid plate, giving a more modern and distinctive appearance. 

The aerodynamically efficient rear spoiler serves both form and function, seamlessly integrating an auxiliary brake light to enhance safety without compromising on aesthetics. The eco-efficient rear LED clusters, skilfully combine directional indicators, tail lamps, and stop lights, contributing to the Tivoli's stylish aesthetic. Although the SsangYong badge has been removed from the boot lid, the SsangYong logo is still in place in some places, for instance on the steering wheel and on the new alloy wheels. 

Topping off its exterior allure is a swept-back 'floating' roofline, reminiscent of premium SUVs, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design. With the new facelift it becomes clear that every detail is meticulously crafted to not only capture attention but to redefine the standards of modern SUV design under the KGM brand. 

Step inside the Tivoli, and you'll find a small SUV that redefines the standards of interior style and comfort. The award-winning comfortable front seats set the tone for a journey characterised by relaxation and support. The chunky D-cut steering wheel not only looks and feels good but adds a sporty touch to the driving experience. The fascia, designed to be ergonomic, modern, and purposeful, creates an upmarket ambience that is both inviting and functional. 

Venturing into the colder months, the Tivoli doesn't just promise warmth; it delivers with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. These features not only provide a cosy environment on wintery days but also contribute to an overall sense of comfort during extended journeys. For those who appreciate personalised comfort, the Tivoli Ultimate models feature dual-zone air conditioning, allowing individual temperature preferences. Whether you prefer warmth while your passenger opts for a cooler atmosphere, the dual-zone system ensures a perfect harmony of climate inside the cabin. 

The new facelift introduces some small features to the interior. Although the drivers display and infotainment screen have been retained, some of the physical buttons for climate control have been upgraded to touch-sensitive buttons. 

In the Tivoli, every detail is designed to make your time on the road a luxurious and comfortable experience. Upfront, the Tivoli provides a commanding view of the road, elevating the driving experience. The generous dimensions not only contribute to an open and airy atmosphere but also provide ample shoulder room, ensuring a comfortable ride for both the driver and front seat passenger.

This comfort extends to the back, where the Tivoli truly stands out. Boasting class-leading legroom, the rear seating area becomes a haven for passengers. What sets it apart is the 27.5-degree recline feature, adding an extra layer of space and comfort to the rear seats. Whether you're on the daily commute or a long road trip, the Tivoli ensures that every passenger enjoys a relaxed and spacious ride. 

The Ventura model boasts TPU leather and cloth heated seats, while the Ultimate models take luxury to the next level with sumptuous leather heated seats. The interior, consistent across all models with a sleek black finish, exudes a sense of refinement.

But the Tivoli is not just about passenger comfort; it's about adapting to your lifestyle. The interior is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to configure the load space and the second row to suit your needs. With a remarkable 427 litres of cargo space, the Tivoli becomes the only SUV in its class big enough to accommodate three sets of golf clubs or whatever else your adventures demand. Intelligent storage systems are seamlessly integrated, creating space in the most ingenious places and ensuring that everything you need has its perfect spot.

The new Tivoli from KGM doesn't just promise a drive; it promises an experience, delivering a performance that matches the expectations of modern driving enthusiasts. The Tivoli offers a powerful 1.5-litre turbocharged direct injection petrol engine, setting a benchmark in performance while adhering to the latest Euro 6d emissions standards. The Tivoli offers a choice between two modern and efficient 6-speed gearboxes: manual and automatic, so you can choose the transmission to suit you. 

For drivers seeking a personalised driving experience, the automatic Tivoli models offer a trio of drive modes – Normal, Sport, or Winter. These modes can be selected based on conditions, allowing for a dynamic and safer driving experience tailored to the road ahead. 

Beyond the powertrain, the Tivoli excels in creating a quiet and comfortable driving environment. Innovative construction features, including underfloor damping, pillar cavity foam, and a sound-absorbing roof liner, work together to isolate engine, road, and exterior sounds. The result is a driving experience marked by tranquillity, making every journey a refined and serene escape. 

In the realm of safety, the 2023 Tivoli sets a new standard, prioritising your well-being with a comprehensive array of features designed to protect and prevent. From its foundation, SsangYong's engineers have incorporated extensive high-strength steel into the construction of the Tivoli, creating a rigid passenger cell that forms the backbone of its safety architecture. This commitment to safety is exemplified by the Tivoli's impressive airbag system, the most expansive in its class. Equipped with seven airbags, including a driver's knee protection airbag, a feature typically reserved for prestige vehicles, the Tivoli ensures maximum protection on impact. This robust safety system not only provides peace of mind but also contributes to the Tivoli's outstanding safety performance, earning it a 4-star rating in the Euro NCAP test. 

The Tivoli's intelligence extends beyond structural strength, incorporating smart safety aids and electronic driving aids that work harmoniously to enhance safety on the road. In the event of emergency braking, the Tivoli automatically applies maximum braking effort, reducing braking distance and enhancing accident avoidance. ISOFIX child seat mountings to the rear outer seats and pre-tensioners on seatbelts ensure the safety of all occupants, even the little ones. 

This iteration of the Tivoli is not just a vehicle; it's a sanctuary on wheels. With safety intricately woven into its design, the 2023 Tivoli stands as the safest and strongest yet, providing you with the confidence to explore the road ahead. Join us as we delve into the advanced safety features that make every journey in the Tivoli a secure and protected experience. 

In the event of an imminent collision, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) intervenes, applying appropriate braking force to prevent or minimise damage. 

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) collaborate to keep the Tivoli securely within its traffic lane.
