The SsangYong Tivoli diesel is now available through the Motability Scheme, allowing disabled motorists to lease a new Tivoli using their higher rate mobility allowance.

“The Motability Scheme is unquestionably helping a lot of disabled people to get mobile, and we’re delighted to be broadening the range of SsangYong cars available.” said Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK.

The 1.6 litre Tivoli SUV is a B-segment SUV available in three trim levels – SE, EX, ELX – and the choice of 1.6 litre Euro 6 petrol and diesel engines, 6-speed manual or 6-speed Aisin automatic transmissions.

The Tivoli SE is finished in a grey cloth trim, and includes 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, a stop/go system, Smart steering (normal, comfort and sport modes), an RDS/Bluetooth radio and seven airbags.

The EX adds the option of automatic transmission, grey or beige leather upholstery, 18-inch alloy Spiral wheels, dual zone climate control, 7-inch touch screen smart audio system with rear view camera, heated front seats, front fog lights and a luggage load cover.

The ELX features Diamond cut alloy wheels, a smart instrument cluster, smart keyless starting, front & rear parking sensors, privacy glass, rear spoiler, automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, full TomTom navigation system with 7-inch touch screen and rear view camera.

Diesel Tivolis are available for a £499 Advance Payment on the Motability Scheme, higher than the £99 asked up-front of petrol Tivoli Motability buyers.

SsangYong’s Korando, Rexton and Turismo models were already available on the Motability Scheme.

For 2016, the Turismo MPV is powered by an upgraded 2.2 litre Euro 6 diesel engine that delivers more power, better fuel economy and reduced emissions.
