The SsangYong Tivoli is a mini SUV made by the SsangYong Motor Company. It is SsangYong's first new model under Mahindra & Mahindra ownership. The car is named after the Italian town of Tivoli, Lazio, and was chosen because it can be read as "I love it" in reverse.

The Tivoli was in testing and development for the three years prior to its announcement in November 2014 and was revealed in concept with the project name X100. It was launched in South Korea in January 2015.
The Tivoli is offered with a choice of petrol or diesel 1.6-liter engines and is available in two or four-wheel drive. It is equipped with a six-speed manual or AISIN automatic gearbox, which SsangYong claims is as quick and efficient as a dual-clutch setup.
Tivoli XLV
The SsangYong Tivoli XLV is an extended version of the Tivoli. It is lengthened behind the rear wheels by 245 mm (9.6 in), increasing the rear storage space from 423 to 720 liters. The XLV is offered with all-wheel drive and a 1.6-liter diesel engine.

Awards
