Why is the SsangYong Tívoli selling so well?

At €12,750 or €175 a month, the SsangYong Tívoli has become the bargain of compact SUVs. Its excellent space-for-money ratio, its exclusive safety offering and its attractive SUV design have made it the best-selling car in SsangYong’s range.

The SsangYong Tívoli occupies an important place in the compact SUV segment, the category everyone is talking about and to which new models keep arriving. This model offers an unmatched space-for-money ratio, a quality that makes it a tough rival for cars such as the Skoda Yeti, Renault Captur, Peugeot 2008… and, in terms of size, the SEAT Ateca.

The Tívoli starts from €12,750, a very attractive figure that makes it accessible to buyers who, given the price, did not think they could afford an SUV of this size. The Tívoli sits in the same price range as a Opel Corsa, to give one example. And with the SsangYong Multiopción Campaign, you can have a Tívoli for just €175 a month: at the end of the contract, you decide whether to keep it, return it or exchange it for another model from the brand.

To the appeal of its SUV design and style, add a safety offering typical of more exclusive segments and extensive design customisation. The Tívoli already is the best-selling car from SsangYong and comes with 5-year warranty. It is also the brand’s flagship in competition, as the impressive Tívoli DKR will compete in the next Dakar (if you visit a SsangYong dealership and test drive a Tívoli, they will give you an official SsangYong Dakar team polo shirt).

Fashionable, customisable SUV design

The SsangYong Tívoli has the easygoing look that characterises the most successful compact SUVs. Unlike other SsangYong models, which have a more sober image, the Tívoli attracts attention thanks to its modern, muscular look.

On top of this, there is a very appealing customisation offering with 36 different colour combinations. The two-tone bodywork is one of the model’s great attractions – it offers a different shade on the roof and mirrors compared with the rest of the body – as well as the option to add decorative stripes in pure Mini style, a formula that suits the SsangYong Tívoli perfectly.

Safety typical of the premium segment

The excellent value for money of this model is also reflected in its exclusive safety offering. The SsangYong Tívoli includes the SASS preventive safety system, a set of driver-assistance features that are usually found in premium-segment cars. Among the safety systems the Tívoli offers are collision or pedestrian warning with autonomous braking, unintentional lane departure warning, automatic selection of the most suitable lights or the road sign recognition system.

SUV at city-car prices

Thanks to the brand’s latest promotion, the SsangYong Tívoli is available from €12,750, a price that includes a dealer discount of €2,250 and a further €1,000 if you finance the purchase through the option offered by the company. This price places the Tívoli in the same price range as most city cars on the market. As a result, many people are visiting the brand’s dealerships to see and touch a car with twice the boot space, far more road presence and really superior interior room to a city car.

Take a look at the following comparison and you will see what we mean; bear in mind that neither of the two models has had the brand’s discount applied, so their official list prices are not the ones you will see at the dealership once the discounts are applied.

As you can see, the SsangYong Tívoli is a much more practical car than a city car. This SUV offers more space and very comfortable seats that have won an ergonomics award in Korea. Despite being a compact crossover, the space in the cabin is really well used, something SsangYong handles with great skill in its cars. And it offers plenty of storage spaces, especially in the door interiors, the double glovebox (one with a lid and one open) and under the front armrest.

Another practical highlight of the Tívoli is its double boot. The floor of the boot can be folded into 3 pieces, adjusted to two heights. The boot’s modularity is total, with the pieces able to be fixed against the back of the boot, above the spare wheel or over an independent drawer.
