Sisunnews.co.kr
has posted spy shots of the 2018 SsangYong Tivoli (facelift) that partially
reveal its exterior and interior details. The 2018 SsangYong Tivoli will likely feature small
design revisions usually brought with mid-cycle updates, such as a new grille,
reshaped bumpers and tweaked headlamps and tail lamp graphics. The spy
shot shows how SsangYong has changed the headlamp cluster with the facelift.
Moving to the interior, the 2018 SsangYong Tivoli
features a redesigned centre console. It makes the cabin look urbane and
cleaner. SsangYong has reduced the number of buttons for the latter effect.
Horizontal air vents have replaced the vertical air vents and the centre
console is more car-like now.
The SsangYong Tivoli comes with two engines:
1.6-litre e-XGi160 naturally aspirated petrol and 1.6-litre e-XDi160
turbocharged diesel. The petrol engine produces 128 PS and 160 Nm of torque and
115 PS and 300 Nm of torque. With the mid-life update, the B-SUV could gain
Mahindra’s new 140 bhp 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
While the SsangYong Tivoli receives a facelift in
South Korea later this year in India, Mahindra will launch a reskinned and
shortened version of the SUV - the Mahindra S201. Interior spy shots suggest
that the Mahindra S201 is based on the current Tivoli, and not the facelift.
