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 Suave Italian styling Legitimately spacious and practical Very quick and sporty Trofeo model
Cons Base I-4 engine lacks cachet Trofeo model's stiff ride Can be unreasonably expensive
Pros Polished ride and handling Spacious, top-notch interior User-friendly infotainment system Punchy engine lineup
Cons Lofty pricing
