Model reviewed: Range overview
Score: 6 / 10
“The KGM Tivoli feels robust and comes with lots of equipment – but it’s thirsty, slow, and not particularly refined.”

“The facelifted SsangYong Tivoli is definitely an improvement. It’s a competent compact SUV with a much-improved interior, but it needed more to really stand out. The Tivoli’s price is usually its big selling point, but the cost of this top-spec Ultimate model ends up being its biggest downfall.”

“The SsangYong Tivoli XLV makes much more sense in manual form, and the front-wheel drive version will be better than the 4×4 for most buyers.”

“If you’re not troubled by the looks of the normal SsangYong Tivoli, but you need something a little more practical, then you’ll like the XLV. It makes great sense if you need lots of space, and lots of equipment, and you don’t want to spend an excessive amount.”

“Ssangyong’s rooted-to-the-floor brand cred will be harder to overcome than any other kind of prejudice, but if you’ve got the strength to deal with endless ‘You bought a whaat?’ questions then you won’t be disappointed.”

“Avoid the six-speed auto. There’s no paddles on the steering wheel, just a naff button on the gearstick to change up or down. It’s not intuitive. Save yourself a grand and go for the manual.”

“The SsangYong Tivoli is spacious, well equipped and reasonably well finished, but compared with most rivals it’s not as good to drive and its child occupant safety rating might be a concern. A Suzuki Vitara still makes for a better budget compact SUV.”

“The Tivoli XLV is rather pricey for a Ssangyong, but then it does come fully loaded with toys, replete with enough space for four adults and their luggage, and with the added benefit of a five-year warranty.”
