The Tivoli will be powered by 1.6-liter petrol and diesel engines.

SsangYong has announced that the Tivoli will make its global premiere at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, and will go on sale in Europe and other markets from May 2015.

Back in mid-January 2015, SsanYong had officially revealed the Tivoli in South Korea and the features in tow. The Ssangyong Tivoli borrows design cues from XIV Air and XIV Adventure concepts that were unveiled at the 2014 Paris Auto Show.

From July, SsangYong will introduce a 1.6-liter diesel unit, although the company haven't revealed official figures.
