Having been on the lineup for eight years running, the Tivoli lineup has received another minor change and things get a little interesting for KG Mobility's baby-SUV range.

The Tivoli and its longer Tivoli Air have received another minor change for the 2024 model year, keeping the entry-level SUV lineup from KG Mobility (formerly Ssangyong) ready for more when the opportunity arises.

The most noticeable change for this updated version is the front view and it now dons a styling similar to a Toyota PPV I can't mention here due to search query reasons. This new front view gives the Tivoli a sporty feel on the go and apart from that, a new set of wheels and a mildly revised rear view truly made a statement.

The interior is heavily revised for this latest facelift with the air vents positioned above the dashboard, a new climate control, a new 10.25-inch digital cluster, and a new touch screen with smartphone connectivity and INFOCONN service. While the dashboard layout's new, the comfort for five people and spacing still remains with the Air the most spacious of the Tivoli range.

Both the new Tivoli and the Tivoli Air remained the 1.5L GDi turbo engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with the shorter one offered with the 1.6L petrol engine. Sticking to the turbo one, it produces 163PS of power and 26.5kg-m of torque. Fuel economy is good for a combined 12kmpl for FF models.

The shorter Tivoli is only offered with the optional 4WD system that allows this crossover to go everywhere when needed.

In terms of safety, both the new Tivoli and the new Tivoli Air are offered with a DeepControl suite of advanced safety features, seven airbags, 79% rigidity, an Electronic Stability Program, an Anti-Rollover Protection, a Brake Assist System, an Emergency Stop Signal, Hill Descent Control, and Hill Start Assist, among many others.

For a limited time, the Tivoli is priced at 22,090,000 Korean Won while the Tivoli Air is priced at 22,940,000 Korean Won plus taxes and fees.

The recently facelifted Tivoli range shows that they're still on the go for eight years running, like it or not. The improved looks and interior are a sign of things to come for the Tivoli range under the hands of KG Mobility. That's common sense to you.
