The KGM Tivoli (Korean: KGM 티볼리), previously SsangYong Tivoli, is a subcompact crossover SUV made by the KG Mobility (previously SsangYong Motor). The Tivoli was SsangYong's first new model under Mahindra & Mahindra ownership.{{cite web |last1=Batchelor |first1=James |title=SsangYong reveals Tivoli small SUV in production form |url=http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ssangyong/89573/ssangyong-reveals-tivoli-small-suv-in-production-form |website=Auto Express |accessdate=25 February 2015 |date=24 December 2014}} It is named after the Italian town of Tivoli, Lazio, and was chosen because it can be read as "I lov[e] it" in reverse.{{cite web |last1=Stansfield |first1=Roger |title=First drive: 2015 SsangYong Tivoli |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/ssangyong/tivoli/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150116092346/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/ssangyong/tivoli/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2015-01-16 |work=The Daily Telegraph}}

History

The Tivoli was in testing and development for the three years prior to its announcement in November 2014 and was revealed in concept with the project name X100. It was launched in South Korea in January 2015.{{cite web |last=Motown |first=India |date=26 November 2014 |title=Ssangyong Tivoli |url=http://www.motownindia.com/Bureau/Auto-Pit-Cars/385/SsangYong-Tivoli-an-urban-dynamic-SUV-Motown-India-Bureau |website=Motown India |accessdate=4 December 2014}}

The Tivoli is offered with a choice of petrol or diesel 1.6-liter engines and is available in two or four-wheel drive. It is equipped with a six-speed manual or AISIN automatic gearbox, which SsangYong claims is as quick and efficient as a dual-clutch setup.{{cite web |url=http://carandbike.com/news/ssangyong-tivoli-compact-suv-launched-in-korea-726412 |title=SsangYong Tivoli Compact SUV Launched in Korea |author=Patankar, Siddharth Vinayak |publisher=NDTV |date=13 January 2015 |accessdate=24 February 2015}}{{cite web |url=http://www.ssangyonggb.co.uk/pages/new-ssangyong/tivoli-details |title=SsangYong Tivoli |author=Bibhu Raj Acharya, Nepal |date=3 June 2015 |access-date=2 June 2015 |archive-date=8 January 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170108180659/http://www.ssangyonggb.co.uk/pages/new-ssangyong/tivoli-details |url-status=dead }}

In Korean New Car Assessment Program (KNCAP) the SsangYong Tivoli received top safety rating of Grade 1 (5 stars; 91.9 pts.) on a 2015 registration.

=Euro NCAP & ANCAP=

The rating for the SsangYong Tivoli was first published in 2016. At that time, autonomous emergency braking was sold as an option, as part of a safety pack, and Euro NCAP published two ratings: one with only standard equipment and another with the safety pack. Since February 2018, the content of the safety pack - AEB City, AEB Inter-urban and AEB Pedestrian - has been made standard equipment and the rating has been changed to reflect this change.
