Thanks for the review. My wife has had a fully equipped Tivoli for the last 4 years and 60'000 miles, with a sunroof and an auto gearbox. It hasn't missed a beat and she loves it. She has a particularly sensitive back - the supportive seats are perfect for her. And the heated seats and steering wheel are very welcome on those cold winter mornings. I love the electric and air-conditioned seats in the summer (the came as standard with the spec we chose). It's amusing to think they are an optional extra on a £50k BMW. The Tivoli has been criticized for its ride, but the secret is not to spec big 17- or 18-inch wheels. It rides fine on 16-inch wheels and still handles well. We chose the top-spec car so actually had to 'downtrade' to smaller wheels. The garage was happy to exchange them for free.
They’re great vehicles, and well equipped if that’s what you choose, yes smaller wheels with a decent profile tyre makes all the difference, thank you Timothy
Ah you discovered the secret load cover storage! Another great video A&B! The Ventura is a little rocket so we're glad to see you enjoyed the drive! Thank you for the high praise too *Tommy
We did indeed - You are very welcome! You should be very proud of this car - it amazing. 😻😻 Watch out for the Musso Rhino review coming soon. Ben & I cannot wait to test drive the latest model after lockdown 2.0 Stay safe and well 👍 *A
another great review A&B. just like you, I don't see lack of sat nav built in an issue :) I see so many people with brand new S-classes / A8 and 7 Series with there mobile phone blocking the screen with their say nav anyway. Apple car play and the android varient is great!! That 3 cylinder sounds lovely, as most do :)
Looked at one used the other day,but boot isn't that big! XLV probably a better choice, but not sure if sold new any more? Like your reviews ,so keep em coming!
Hi sir just to ask if the engine of ssangyong tivoli diesel is a good or reliable engine?because the engine is made from mahindra in india.watching your vedio from jerusalem israel
This is the petrol engine, however we have driven the Diesel engine in the Korando, and yes it’s good, would you like us to put the link to the vehicle here?
@@PlanetautoUK i'm thinking of buying this Tivoli in diesel automatic transmission for my wife, do you know if this is reliable in 4 years or 50,000 kms without any parts replaced?
Are you buying a brand new model, if so bear in mind that certain options vary due to shortages, also our car specs may vary - as this was 2 years ago.
They certainly made it look much better with the revamp on the outside it's just a pity they ruined the dash on the inside. The last one had a stylish dash all they had to do was modernise it and upgrade the materials on it. Instead it looks like they have gone backwards with there dash design and it is just horrible. A pity. It's sad there is not more of them on the roads.
I hired one of these on holiday in Ireland. It is easily the least comfortable car I've driven in 30 years. In town and on the motorway it was OK, but out of town on country roads, the harsh ride defies belief. I paid for "an Astra or equivalent". An Astra is a Rolls-Royce compared to this car. The comments below seem to focus on what gadgets are fitted at each price point. No amount of gadgets, (and my hire car had plenty) make up for the fundamentals of the car being terrible.
I’m trying to weigh up if it was a facelift or this gen, we like a firm ride, and didn’t notice anything that was uncomfortable and we drove it a fair few miles, what’s your normal car Richard?
@@PlanetautoUK A Peugeot 3008. It’s not that it was just firm. Since everyone decided that German cars are luxurious, pretty much all cars have firm springing. ( German cars need it because they have to be stable at unrestricted motorway speeds, and German roads are well maintained) The Ssang Yong was firm AND really bouncy. It was a new car so one cannot blame faulty dampers. Of course it’s a cheap car. If I wanted to buy a similar car at that price I would go for a Dacia every time, and forego some gadgets to get better engineered suspension.
@richardwilton722 that’s really strange - you may have had a bad one! We’ve driven a lot of the SsangYong range, and haven’t experienced this, neither have a lot of our watchers…strange indeed.

Thank you Matt, great value with an engaging drive and sounds great too.
Looks a good buy especially at that price point. By the looks on your face Ben when driving it you were having a great time.
It most certainly was, Keith! 🤣🤣 it handles really well. The prices are amazing as.well -you get lots for your money *A
Thank you for the great video guys
You’re very welcome Nigel, thank you

Thank you Mister B, no sadly not, lots of preowned well priced ones on the SsangYong website.

@@PlanetautoUK ok sir thank you
Hi @PENTELLPEN JOURNAL - here's the link: th-cam.com/video/x81j7IrdzkI/w-d-xo.html
it's got the same engine *A
@@PlanetautoUK thank you very much.very informative review
@@PlanetautoUK i'm thinking of buying this Tivoli in diesel automatic transmission for my wife, do you know if this is reliable in 4 years or 50,000 kms without any parts replaced?
You stated that the car has powered folding mirrors, can't find anything on the ssangyong website saying the 1.2 Ventura has that.
Are you buying a brand new model, if so bear in mind that certain options vary due to shortages, also our car specs may vary - as this was 2 years ago.
What would you rather have. Tívoli or the MGHS?
Depends on your needs, petrol or hybrid?
@@PlanetautoUK petrol. But no more MGHS petrol!! Shocked
So fun watching this video!!!
Thank you Idan
"When you drive it like a hot hatch,which is what you`ve just done!"...love it...Annabel sounds just like my wife!
Yes I tend to do that at some point to all the cars and SUVs even pickups 😆 wives are interesting co-drivers, thank you Robert
What a great review/reviewers and channel
Subscribed 👍
Thank you, Abdul! 👍 *A
I'm trying to convince my mom to buy it but it's hard, she wants a Citroën C3 and I want ther to have a Tivoli
Warranty is a big plus remember Daddy Van Hool, thank you and Good luck
@@PlanetautoUK Yeah, my mom bought the C3 1.2Turbo 110hp , I would've preferred the Tivoli but anyway, the Citroën C3 is still a nice.
Thank you for updating us
@@PlanetautoUK no problem 😀

Was this a 2020 or the latest model Richard?
@@PlanetautoUK According to motor check.ie it was registered in 2022.

Yes… yes it does, rather than a lumbering SUV, Mister B
Looks like your driving scared your wife
She’s used to it after 16 years 😆 FK8 one day 570s the next, thank you Dean
Too rushed.
16m and rushed don’t go together plus your the only one that thinks this, mist reviews bar full buyers guides are 12m or so
@@PlanetautoUK I just find that you are talking too fast. You can rush your way through 16mins.
Thank you for the feedback, first time we’ve heard that mind, we get the opposite more.
