SsangYong Cars
SsangYong is a South Korean automaker that offers a range of practical and affordable vehicles for Australian buyers. The brand has made great strides in recent years, particularly with the introduction of the Tivoli small SUV, which is one of its most popular models.
The SsangYong Tivoli boasts sharp looks and good value for money. Its interior is roomy and well equipped, making it a practical choice for families. Additionally, the compact SUV is also easy to drive and has good fuel efficiency, which makes it ideal for daily use in urban areas.
The Tivoli’s 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine produces a decent 85 kW of power and 147 Nm of torque. The engine can be mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or an optional six-speed automatic transmission. The top-of-the-line model comes standard with all-wheel-drive, making it perfect for tackling harsher Australian driving conditions like slippery roads and rough terrain.
Aside from the Tivoli, SsangYong offers other vehicles suitable for Australian drivers like the Korando small SUV and Musso pickup truck. Both models have plenty of power on tap thanks to their diesel engines; with outputs ranging from 130kW to 178 kW. This provides plenty of low-end grunt – ideal when towing large items or hauling heavy cargo over long distances.
SsangYong cars are built tough - perfect for off-road adventures where you might come across some difficult terrain, whether heading out into the Australian Outback or up into the hills along Australia's beautiful coastline.
In terms of safety features, most SsangYong models feature lane departure warning, front collision warning, autonomous emergency braking as well as front-side-airbags as standard in addition to hill start assist controls – useful when maneuvering your vehicle on inclines in urban areas or challenging conditions on Australia’s winding coastal routes or steep mountain roads.
Overall SsangYong is an excellent choice for those seeking affordability combined with performance & style both around town as well as exploring everything that Australia’s great outdoors have to offer
