When we think of a large, spacious and comfortable car, we always end up reaching the same conclusion: we have to face a high outlay. Well, the people of SsangYong want to go against it with the SsangYong Tivoli Grand, an SUV that with 574 liters of trunk and with a price of 19,200 euroswants to be the car with the best price-space ratio, and without any tricks.
And that is really the high point of the Korean SUV: a price that is not subject to any financing. As a general rule, when we are faced with a tempting price, we do not always find an unpleasant surprise that makes the bill drastically more expensive through interest, but it is not the case of the Tivoli Grand.
This is the SsangYong Tivoli Grand that can be ours for less than 20,000 euros
But it is necessary to clarify that the 19,200 euros requested by the Korean firm are associated with a specific version of the SsangYong Tivoli Grand. In this way, to take it home for that price we must associate it with the Line finish and with the G15T gasoline enginethat is, the two access options, but not for that reason something negative.
And it is that SsangYong SUV has standard equipment consisting of cruise control, multifunction steering wheel, SASS system, roof bars, 3.5-inch digital instrument panel, 16-inch wheels, electric and heated exterior mirrors, manual climate control and 10.25-inch touch screen with connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto among others.
As far as mechanics is concerned, the Tivoli Grand uses the aforementioned G15T, a name that hides a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 163 hp and 280 Nm of torque. These figures are managed by means of a six-speed manual gearbox, and allow a 0 to 100 in 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 181 km/h. However, given dimensions, weight and aerodynamics, the combined consumption is somewhat high, declaring 7.2 liters per 100 under the WLTP cycle.
But how is it possible that the SsangYong Tivoli Grand can be ours for 19,200 euros without any trick? And it is that the first secret of this offer resides in that the brand offers two discounts, one of 1,000 euros for loyalty and another of 1,700 euros that will be active until the end of the month. The second is that we must choose the Dandy Blue color, the only one in the Korean SUV palette that is not overpriced, otherwise we will have to pay 410 euros.
The SsangYong Tivoli Grand in What car do I buy?
But although the Tivoli Grand is a great purchase option within the SUV segment, is she really the only attractive one? That we can find out through What car do I buy?the Diariomotor comparator where we find the largest offer of new cars and secondhand of the moment.
In this way we realize that we can get a Dacia Jogger for 17,039 euros, to which we must add an advantage over the SsangYong Tivoli Grand: it has 7 seats. Another very attractive alternative is the MG HS, that can end up in our garage for 22,990 euros and, although it loses in the trunk against the Korean, it wins by settling in a higher segment. And in a totally different segment but very even for price and load capacity sits the Renault Kangoo, which can be ours for 20,732 euros.
But if the SsanGyong Tivoli Grand is the car to choose and the budget for a new one is not enough, we can always save thousands of euros in a used unit. And it is that we will not only find different configurations, but also conventional Tivoli units that can fit better in our garage paying much less.
