The Korean manufacturer’s
SsangYong Tivoli has been spotted with the totally covered exterior in Chennai
for the performance testing. The compact SUV has already showcased in the
Indian market at the Delhi Auto Expo 2016 along with the Mahindra cars. A few months
back, Mahindra has confirmed that the company is evaluating the launch of the
Tivoli in the Indian market. Till the date, there is no official announcement
from the company regarding the Tivoli launch.
Being a Korean based product, the
Tivoli gets the best response from the aspiration buyers in South Korea. Recently,
the same product has been launched in Nepal at NPR 5,375,000, approximately Rs.
33.66lakhs. If the parent company, Mahindra launched the Tivoli, the Korean
product range to be expanded in the domestic market and the product is to be available
with the existed SsangYong models, Rexton, Korando, as well.
The SsangYong Tivoli is expected
to be offered in petrol and diesel variants along with the higher capacity
engines. The petrol based cars will be powered by the 1.6L e-XGi160 engine with
the capacity of 126PS power and 160Nm torque. The diesel versions would pack a
turbocharged 1.6L e-XDi160 engine that outputs 115PS power and 300Nm.
The Tivoli is estimated to be
offered with the two transmission options, such as 6-speed MT and 6-speed automatic
gearbox. The global-specific Tivoli is available with the 4 wheel drive system as
an optional feature, but the same drive system may not be included in the list
of Indian-specific SsangYong (Mahindra) Tivoli.
