Ssangyong adds 4x4 Tivoli to compact SUV lineup

The SsangYong Tivoli petrol was launched into the compact SUV sector in May this year, followed a few months later by a 1.6-litre Euro 6 diesel engine available across the range. Now the company is adding the Tivoli 4x4, making it one of very few four-wheel drive cars available in this segment of the market, delivering surefooted driving off-road and added safety in winter.

Powered by the newly developed e-XDi160 Euro 6 diesel engine, which produces 115bhp and 300Nm of torque, a smooth, progressive and powerful driving experience is delivered.

The Tivoli 4x4 employs an intelligent and advanced all-wheel drive torque on demand system that senses the road surface and driving conditions, and distributes power to the wheels that need it most. Under normal driving conditions, 100 percent of the engine's torque is delivered to the front wheels so that the car runs with optimised fuel efficiency. On icy or slippery roads or when driving on wet off-road conditions, power is distributed to both the front and rear wheels to ensure a safe, stable and dependable drive.

In conjunction with the standard electronic stability program (ESP) with hydraulic brake assist and four-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS), the four-wheel drive system provides the best possible grip and control whatever the conditions. The Tivoli 4x4 also features multi-link rear suspension for a comfortable drive on the road, and increased wheel articulation for optimum grip off-road.
