SsangYong Tivoli official images released

Official images of the SsangYong Tivoli have been released. Codenamed 'X100', the Tivoli compact SUV is scheduled to make its debut in January 2015. The Tivoli represents a shift in SsangYong design. Exterior features include day time running LEDs, a slim black radiator grill, beefed up fenders, roof rails, blackened A & B pillars and integrated indicators in the ORVMs.

An interior image shows the Tivoli with red-black dual tone upholstery, silver surrounds for the AC vents and a flat bottomed steering wheel with integrated controls. Also shown in the image are the analogue speedometer and tachometer with a digital MID in between, a central infotainment screen with map support and automatic climate control. Another sketch shows the Tivoli with 7 airbags. Reports suggest that the Tivoli will be offered with 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines.

While sales in South Korea will begin in January, global sales are expected to begin mid-2015. Mahindra & Mahindra have been tight lipped on whether the Tivoli will be brought to India. The compact SUV crosses the 4-metre length mark, putting it in the league of rivals like the Nissan Terrano and yet to be launched Hyundai IX 25.
