The SsangYong Tivoli is a stylish car with a low price and generous standard equipment, which may tempt some buyers from more established competition.
Pros Excellent warranty Spacious inside Good value
Cons Poor ride comfort Varying interior quality Petrol engine is quite noisy
The Ssangyong Tivoli is decent for the money, but massively outclassed in many areas – including space, efficiency and comfort – by pricier small SUVs, such as the Ford Puma, Volkswagen T-Roc and Skoda Kamiq. But the Dacia Duster also outclasses it in several ways, while being more efficient to run and cheaper to buy outright.
Pros Competitively priced Reasonably spacious Well equipped higher-spec trims
Cons Entry-level trim is sparse Relatively high running costs So-so handling and fidgety ride
Pros Value-oriented pricing, more cargo space than Corolla hatchback, plenty of standard driver-assists.
Cons Poky acceleration, unrefined engine, doesn't look as upscale as some rivals.
Pros Borrows from the RAV4 playbook Stronger inline-4 on board Lots of safety tech Good infotainment
Cons No hybrid, yet Too much RAV look? Sluggish acceleration Seats need better lumbar
Pros Intuitive infotainment system Huge cargo hold Great gas mileage
Cons Weak engine Less sporty than rivals
