Overview

The Ssangyong Tivoli was launched in 2015, and updated regularly to keep it competitive. The SUV’s last refresh was in 2020 – it received reworked styling, better infotainment system and more standard safety equipment. More recently, the firm tweaked the trim-levels and ditched diesel from the line-up.

The cheapest Ventura model came with an impressive amount of standard equipment that included automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, air conditioning, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and keyless entry.

You also get an 8.0-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You’ll have to make do without a built-in sat-nav system, though. Rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, lane-keeping assist and autonomous emergency braking round off the standard kit list.

Above that, there’s the Ultimate model. Upgrades over the Ventura variant include 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone air conditioning, power-folding door mirrors and a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster. At the top of the range, there’s the flagship Ultimate Nav model, which features a nine-inch infotainment system with TomTom navigation.
