Mahindra strikes again! Launches SsangYong Tivoli Compact SUV

India’s homegrown SUV giant Mahindra & Mahindra today unveiled the new SsangYong Compact SUV at the Delhi Auto Expo 2016.

Mahindra-owned Ssangyong has promised that its Duster-sized Tivoli will hit Indian showrooms fast. Mahindra is set to power the Tivoli with its 1.5-litre diesel engine to maintain a stronghold in the heavily competitive Compact SUV market in India. The new SUV measures 4,185mm in length, 1,795mm in width and 1,590mm in height, and it comes with a wheelbase of 2,600mm.

The India-spec model is powered by the 1.5-liter mHawk80 Diesel engine that powers the TUV300. Globally, the SsangYong Tivoli is available with two engine options- 124 BHP, 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder Petrol and 113 BHP, 1.6-litre 4-cylinder Diesel. Six-speed Manual and an Automatic transmission option is included.

The Tivoli will be launched in India in the second half of 2016. Known to be the urban SUV, this compact SUV will rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Renault Duster, Maruti Suzuki S-Cross and the newly launched Honda BR-V SUV.
