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. 

The Tivoli SUV measures 4.2metre long and features the all-new monocoque platform, 18-inch diamond shaped alloy wheels, projector headlamps with LED DRLs, dual zone climate control, as well.
