Pros Striking exterior design Spacious and high-quality interior Excellent ride comfort Refined engine and gearbox
Cons No sub-$40,000 variant Driving position compromises Expensive servicing Facelifted 3008 coming in early 2021
Tangibly more practical and interesting than a 308, this is SUVs done properly.
Pros Uncommonly interesting interior, neat handling Refined engine and gearbox
Cons Some detail missteps beneath the surface
Crossover maxes out on style, practicality and economy.
Pros Sharp and striking exterior styling Slick, distinctive interior design Punchy 1.2-litre petrol, 1.5-litre diesel and hybrid engines
Cons Automatic gearboxes sap power Suspension could be more comfortable Range-topping engines underwhelming
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
