The SsangYong Tivoli XLV's length has been increased by 238mm
The additional length has made way for boot space of 720 cubic litres
The standard SsangYong Tivoli is slated to be launched in India as well

The SsangYong Tivoli has turned out to be quite a popular offering in the UK and the automaker has time and again introduced new versions of the crossover in the country. Now, adding more practicality to the vehicle in the literal sense, the Korean manufacturer has introduced the Tivoli XLV that comes with an extended rear for more carrying capacity and practicality. With the Tiivoli XLV extended version, SsangYong is aiming to compete against more premium SUVs including the Nissan Qashqai, while also locking horns with station-wagon style cars like the MINI Clubman, Skoda Yeti and Roomster and other small estates. The SsangYong Tivoli XLV shares the same platform and 2600mm wheelbase as the standard spec Tivoli. However, the body has been lengthened from the C-pillar, increasing the SUV's overall length by 238mm. The larger overhang makes the additional length apparent and has helped increase the boot capacity by a hefty 720 cubic litres. In terms of styling, the Tivoli XLV does not get any distinctive changes and retains the sharp styling and floating roofline. The model continues to remain a 5-seater. SsangYong Tivoli XLV Side Profile In terms of powertrain, the SsangYong Tivoli XLV is offered with a Euro 6 compliant 1.6-litre diesel engine that is tuned to churn out 113bhp at 3400-4000rpm and 300Nm of torque available between 1500-2500rpm. The motor is paired to a fifth generation E-VGT turbocharger that is aimed to provide better low-end response, while transmission duties are handled by the 6-speed manual or 6-speed Aisin automatic options. You also get two-wheel drive and 4x4 versions to choose from. SsangYong Tivoli XLV Interior Profile The SsangYong Tivoli XLV is aimed to add multi-functionality to the SUV in a bid to appeal to more customers in the UK. In terms of features, the SUV comes loaded with seven airbags including front, side and curtain airbags plus a driver’s knee airbag, multi-function ESP, Active Rollover Protection, Brake Assist, Hill Start Assist and ESS (Emergency Stop Signal) and a lot more. SsangYong Tivoli XLV Rear Profile Prices for the new SsangYong Tivoli XLV start from £18,250 (around Rs. 16.05 lakh) and is £1000 more expensive than the standard Tivoli ELX trim. The top-end automatic variant has been priced at £20,500 (around Rs. 18.03 lakh). Interestingly, the Tivoli is slated to launch in India soon and was also showcased at the Auto Expo this year, but do not expect the longer XLV variant making it to India.
