Micro cars to redefine Lankan crossover SUV market with ‘Ssangyong Tivoli’

Micro Cars Limited, the only authorized assembler and distributor for SsangYong in Sri Lanka, introduced the latest addition to its SsangYong SUV range – the all new ‘SsangYong Tivoli’, at the recently concluded Ceylon Motor Show 2015.

Creating ripples i n t he global crossover SUV category, ‘Tivoli’ is a highly stylized and sophisticated automotive endeavour from the SsangYong Motor Company (SYMC). The ‘ Tivoli’ benefits from an accomplished series of strong driving dynamics, an inimitable interior setup and an unparalleled design, that has inspired demand world over.

The bold design of the ‘Tivoli’ strongly appeals to dynamic young executives who are in the need of a mix between a toughness and sharp stylized appeal. With a rhythmical poise of outstanding front and rear design elements, SYMC’s new innovation brings to life a balance seldom seen in similar models. Similarly, the exterior styling differentiates ‘Tivoli’ from other models in the market and the interior design is a novelty in itself.

The ‘ Compact Deluxe Style’ disrupts the conventional interior space that consumers are accustomed to, showcasing progressive and practical additions enabling passengers to indulge in a modern and luxuriously roomy space.

Accordingly, great emphasis has also been placed on delivering dynamic driving performance with the aid of AISIN’s 2nd-generation Automatic Transmission; recognized for its quality and performance of power transmission. Furthermore, the addition of “SmartSteer is another testament to the tasteful nature of its discerning composition. “SmartSteer” is a feature specially designed to control the driver’s steering effort in three modes; normal, comfort or sport, depending on driving preference.

Speaking at t he launch of t he SsangYong Tivoli at t he Ceylon Motor Show 2015, General Manager of SsangYong Business Unit at Micro Cars Limited, Anushka Polonowita said, “We are excited to roll out the SsangYong ‘Tivoli’, which embodies a perfect balance between design excellence and engineering novelty.
