Kia India unveils Carens Clavis, a premium recreational vehicle
South Korea based SsangYong Motor Company in which Mahindras have a controlling stake, has launched the new SsangYong Tivoli XLV at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland.
“Following rapid growth in the compact SUV market, we responded in 2015 by launching Tivoli, the first small SUV for SsangYong, and already the company’s most successful new car. About 64,000 cars were manufactured and sold around the world last year,” said Johng-sik Choi, Chief Executive Officer, SsangYong Motor Company.
“Now SsangYong has gone a step further by launching an extended car to provide even more carrying capacity and practicality - the XLV. This was shown as the XLV Air concept at the IAA motor show in Frankfurt last year, and from the extremely favorable feedback we received, took the decision to put the car into production.
Following its international debut at Geneva, the SsangYong XLV will go on sale across Europe and around the world from May 2016.
Sharing the same platform and 2,600mm wheelbase as the Tivoli, the XLV features a lengthened body from behind the C pillar, an increase of 238mm over the standard car, expanding the load capacity to a huge 720 cubic litres of space. Meanwhile, the styling cues that distinguish Tivoli are retained, including its harmoniously fused SUV body design, sports coupé look and floating roofline.
Tivoli XLV is offered with a choice of a Euro 6 compliant 1.6 litre petrol or 1.6 litre diesel engine, and matched with the option of a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed Aisin automatic, two-wheel drive or four wheel drive.
Tivoli XLV - derived from eXciting smart Lifestyle Vehicle, is designed as a multi-role SUV, and with its additional length extends the interior boot space to make it even more practical for family use.
For those seeking a practical family car, Tivoli XLV provides a large cabin where five tall adults can travel with excellent leg, shoulder and head room, plus a huge boot with 720 cubic litres of space, as well as numerous storage areas.
