New SsangYong Tivoli 1.6 128 hp

The competitors in the little crossover sector remains in full speed. Over the previous couple of years, these kinds of cars have actually ended up being trendy and preferred by clients. Their fans value the high area behind the guiding wheel, which provides a complacency, in addition to the big ground clearance that permits you to quickly conquer curbs. It is not unexpected that nearly every producer wishes to have a design of this type to provide. In a market controlled by the most identifiable Japanese and European Korean brand names, does SsangYong have anything to anticipate? I examined it throughout the very first Polish journeys with the Tivoli design.

My remote relationship with the SsangYong brand name has to do with the Musso police vehicle, which prevailed on Polish roadways a number of years back. Rather fresh is the memory of the awful appeal of the Rodius– apparently an extremely practical and big cars and truck. Presently, the release consists of 4 designs, followed by the 5th I evaluated. To the commoner, these are unique cars.

The long-announced Tivoli opens a brand-new chapter in the history of the producer. Its name describes the vacation town near Rome, however what is very important– it is the very first design to establish given that the brand name was taken control of by the Indian business Mahindra & Mahindra Limited in2010 A year later on, the world saw the very first principle of the XIV series, a development a number of that have actually produced a brand-new automobile. It deserves keeping in mind that the Koreans satisfied their strategies, since they revealed 4 years ago that a little crossover will begin today.

From the outdoors, the automobile surprises with SsangYong’s brand-new body functions. Apart from the badge and mask frame, there are no referrals to other designs here. The front of the cars and truck is embellished with big headlights with LED daytime running lights. The back of the automobile can be talked about– the abundance of text makes it hard to form a favorable viewpoint about it. The Tivoli logo design is a toned location simply listed below the C-pillar that offers the body a muscular feel. The style of the 18- inch rims, which are the domain of the wealthiest variation of Sapphire, can likewise be applauded (they can likewise be bought in a plan). Whatever looks spick-and-span and well balanced, in addition, the producer uses lots of private choices– it will be possible to integrate 2 body colors.

Traditionally, when it comes to city crossovers, there is likewise a black plastic insert. It ought to not be taken as examples of field aspirations, which, furthermore, I might not inspect– the 4 × 4 variation is anticipated to strike the marketplace throughout the summertime vacations Similar to the entire area, it is more than a stylistic order.

I had a 1.6-litre gas engine with a capability of128 It is presently the only variation offered from the Tivoli, however a 115 hp diesel motor is anticipated to sign up with the engine line-up next month. In the test cars and truck, the system operated in combination with a 6-speed handbook (the alternative likewise consists of automated, which needs an extra PLN 6,000)– this plan will enable you to reach an optimum speed of 170 km/ h. This is 10 km/ h more than with automated transmission. Regardless of the great power on paper, the automobile did not look bad. Without understanding the worth of this specification, I would state that there have to do with 15-20 horses down here. The soundproofing of the cabin is at a great level, and enabled 140 km/ h, a peaceful discussion is not an issue.

A little burning over a hundred kilometer path, it had to do with 7 l/ 100 We took a trip in various locations– in the city, outside the city, on the highway, gravel roadways. And the last one, I didn’t see any fractures in the plastic.

A brand-new function is the smartsteer function, thanks to which we can set the operating mode of the os. There are 3 settings to select from: sports, regular and convenience. The distinction is the resistance we feel when we turn, although it has no considerable result on our sensations. To a big level, the convenience setting enables you to drive more easily.

Let’s proceed to the interior that makes an excellent impression initially look. Attention is offered to the comfy armrests, which end up being comfy, along with the big screen of the multimedia system. The upper part of the control panel on the traveler side is covered with a good, soft product, regrettably whatever else is extremely tough. In basic, the quality of plastic is not remarkable, however for an automobile in this sector, whatever is within the standard.

The way of life gizmo permits you to select the color of the backlight of the watch: from mad red, blue or yellow, to more white, blue and black. Koreans use 3 ending up alternatives– black, beige and red. The latter is really appealing, not just with its color, however likewise with an appealing accent, which is the red edge of the guiding wheel in the 3rd quarter. By keeping the best percentages, it can be compared to the option of the Lexus LFA. The guiding wheel itself, influenced by a plane shuttlecock, according to the maker, looks contemporary and stylish. The only thing that surprises me is that it is a little flat at the bottom. Is it truly a practical option for a city where the vehicle will be utilized 99% of the time?

I rank the interior performance perfectly. The spaces are more than sufficient. I should particularly applaud the one on the traveler side. The opening of his group is not large, however the depth is outstanding. What SsangYong Tivoli can be pleased with is its rear legroom and baggage compartment of 424 liters. The words that finest explain it are: compact and roomy, specifically versus the background of the competitors.

The vehicle will be offered in 4 variations– Crystal Base, Crystal, Quartz and Sapphire. The least expensive starts from PLN 59,900, we will pay PLN 21,000 more for greater expenses. As typical, the vehicle has, for instance, double-tensioned belts and a wise system with different guiding modes. Numerous of the functions that I have actually explained– such as the option of clock lights– are booked for richer types. It ought to be discussed, nevertheless, that the visitor from the east does not vary from its competitors with extra devices– the wealthiest Sapphire is understood and, to name a few, heated guiding wheel, keyless gain access to, electrical seats, multimedia screen 7, HDMI and USB ports.

I left the shipment location a little shocked. Having actually checked out previously that the Tivoli opens an entirely brand-new age in the history of SsangYong, I was doubtful, however being familiar with the vehicle validated this viewpoint. Excellent products within, outstanding devices (specifically in the Sapphire variation), good drivetrain. The Koreans are combating in a hard class, where the more well-known challengers have a lot, so they ought to be checked above all for the rate. Compared to Renault Captura or Opel Mokka with comparable engines, the fundamental variation of the automobile is on typical PLN 10,000 less expensive, however in terms of much better equipped cars, the distinction is concealed.

Despite whatever Tivoli seems a reputable automobile If somebody likes the style recommended by Asians and is not scared of an undesirable brand name badge, do not hesitate to opt for a test. Next year, the producer prepares to present an extended variation of the design. Who understands, possibly SsangYong is at the start of Kia’s journey a couple of years ago?
