Ssangyong gives a free upgrade on various Tivoli and XLV models this winter.

  • Free 4x4 winter upgrade offer on diesel Tivoli and Tivoli XLV
  • Customer saving of £1,250
  • 4x4 delivers surefooted driving off-road and added safety in icy conditions
  • 1.6 litre turbo diesel engine, 6 speed manual or Aisin automatic
  • Prices from just £16,250
  • Class leading 5-year limitless mileage warranty
As the cold winter weather starts to bite, SsangYong is introducing a 4x4 winter upgrade offer on its 1.6 litre turbo diesel Tivoli SUV and extended bodied Tivoli XLV models.
The offer applies to current EX and ELX models, manual and automatic, and registered before 31st January 2017.

Comprehensively equipped, the Tivoli EX 4x4 features cruise control, smart steering (normal, comfort and sport modes), an RDS/Bluetooth radio and seven airbags, grey or beige leather upholstery, 18” alloy Spiral wheels, dual zone climate control, 7” touch screen smart audio system with rear view camera, heated front seats, front fog lights and a luggage load cover.
The top of the range ELX 4x4 adds the choice of manual and automatic transmission, and features Diamond cut alloy wheels, a smart instrument cluster, smart keyless starting, front & rear parking sensors, privacy glass, rear spoiler, automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, full TomTom navigation system with 7” touch screen, rear view camera, and the option of the styling pack and red leather pack with My Tivoli.
Sharing the same platform and 2,600mm wheelbase as the Tivoli, the Tivoli XLV SUV estate 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. 
Four-wheel drive performance
The SsangYong Tivoli 4x4 employs an intelligent and advanced all-wheel drive torque on demand system that senses the road surface and driving conditions, and distributes the power to the wheels that need it most.
Under normal driving conditions, 100 per cent of the engine’s torque is delivered to the front wheels so that the car runs with optimised fuel efficiency.  On icy or slippery roads or when driving on wet off-road conditions, power is distributed to both the front and rear wheels to ensure a safe, stable and dependable drive.  The technology operates to give a smooth and safe departure when driving away from a standstill on a steep slope, while a lock mode distributes power equally between the front and rear wheels at speeds below 25mph to optimise traction.
In conjunction with the standard electronic stability program (ESP) with hydraulic brake assist and 4-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS), the four-wheel drive system provides the best possible grip and control whatever the conditions.  Hill start assist (HSA) and active roll-over protection (ARP) also feature.
The Tivoli 4x4 also features multi-link rear suspension for a comfortable drive on the road, and increased wheel articulation for optimum grip off-road.

Ssangyong unveils two special Edition Turismo models, the Black and White Editions.

  • Black and White special edition Turismo announced
  • Distinctive metallic Space Black or Grand White exterior
  • New dark grey interior and new style seating
  • 2.2 litre Euro 6 diesel power, automatic transmission and 4x4
  • Available from just £26,250
Offering family and business users a car to transport seven adults in comfort together with their luggage, the SsangYong Turismo is almost without rival.
Now this capacious seven-seater is available as two stylish limited editions - Black or White, and as well as having a distinctive metallic Space Black or Grand White exterior, includes a smart new dark grey interior complete with new style seating.  Other special features include a heated steering wheel, Kenwood DAB radio and sat nav.
Based on the top-of-the-range Turismo ELX with selectable four-wheel drive, these new special editions come with a premium specification that includes a 7-speed Mercedes-Benz automatic transmission, cruise control, parking sensors, rear seating privacy glass, 17” diamond cut alloy wheels, roof rails, heated front seats, rain sensing wipers and automatic headlights.  These limited edition models are available from just £26,250.

At over 5 metres long and with a 3-metre wheelbase, Turismo is larger than a standard sized MPV people carrier, and features an upgraded 2.2 litre Euro 6 diesel engine.
Thanks to its 3,000mm wheelbase, the Turismo provides a huge interior space where seven adults can travel in supreme comfort with their luggage loaded in the back, and without having to compromise on passenger accommodation.  There are three rows of seats as well as the large load space which can be further increased by removing the third row completely.  This gives a massive load carrying capability of between 875 litres with seven adults seated, through to two adults and 3,146 litres of load space.
With its selectable 4x4 with low ratio, this Turismo special edition is a car you can rely on, no matter what the winter throws at you and is especially safe and practical whether towing a caravan, horsebox or boat trailer, or when driving on snow and ice, and has an impressive 2 tonne towing capacity.
The new Turismo utilises double wishbone front suspension and rear independent multi-link suspension for executive saloon style ride quality.  This set-up offers a quiet and comfortable driving environment with firm body control, a flat ride and optimum stability regardless of the road conditions.
5-year limitless mileage warranty
All models in the SsangYong range are covered by a best-in-class 5-year limitless mileage warranty.  Designed to be totally transparent and give customers complete peace of mind, ‘limitless’ means just that: not a maximum mileage condition that some brands impose in their small print.  All the major mechanical components are covered including wheel bearings, suspension joints and bushes, steering joints, shock absorbers and even the audio system.  Wearable components such as clutch discs and brake friction materials which could have their life reduced by poor driving are covered for one year or 12,500 miles, and the battery and paintwork for three years.
