SsangYong adds diesel power and economy to Tivoli range

The SsangYong Tivoli arrived earlier this summer and began to make its mark in the compact SUV segment of the market. Now, SsangYong is expanding the choices available to customers by launching an all new 1.6-litre Euro 6 diesel engine across the range.

The newly developed e-XDi160 diesel engine produces 115bhp, and delivers a smooth, progressive and powerful driving experience. In terms of economy, the Tivoli diesel achieves up to 27.9km/L on the Combined Cycle with manual transmission, and 21.9km/L for the automatic. The engine is also optimised for both urban and motorway driving with excellent Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) characteristics.

"Tivoli is the biggest thing to happen to SsangYong," says Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor U.K., "We have been delighted with the reaction to the car from the media and all importantly from owners. Tivoli is being praised for its style, safety and equipment, interior space and finish, and with the introduction of diesel we can now offer greater power, increased economy and a 1.5-tonne towing capability, while also underlining the SsangYong proposition of value for money, backed by a warranty no one else can match."
