New 2023 KG Mobility Tivoli revealed

Major update for small SUV formerly known as the SsangYong Tivoli emerges in South Korea

KG Mobility (formerly known as SsangYong) has unveiled the 2023 KG Mobility Tivoli, applying a comprehensive makeover to the South Korean brand’s small SUV.

Extending the lifecycle of the current generation that originated as the 2015 SsangYong Tivoli, there’s a fresh new look to the KG Mobility Tivoli, including a redesigned front-end.

In comes a smaller grille with ‘TIVOLI’ lettering offset to the right, plus a new front bumper with a large hexagon-shaped front grille that’s surrounded by a metallic finisher.

The front lamps carry over unchanged, but the triple-stacked fog lights are new.

Other changes include new side skirts, a fresh bash plate at the rear and a new set of 18-inch alloy wheels.

As you might expect, all the SsangYong badges have vanished, replaced by a new KG Mobility emblem on the rear tailgate.

Inside, the Tivoli’s large 10.25-inch infotainment system and 9.0-inch digital instrument cluster carry over, but there’s now touch-sensitive climate controls, new leather-upholstered seats and a variety of fresh trim options.

The longer seven-seat KG Mobility XLV benefits from the same upgrades.

Under the bonnet there’s the choice of a 93kW 1.6-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine and a 120kW 1.5-litre turbo-four.

Both combine with a six-speed automatic and offer either front-wheel drive or AWD layouts.

The Tivoli has racked up 290,000 sales globally since it was first introduced.

Only last month, KG Mobility released pics of its second facelift of the SsangYong Musso and Rexton and announced both would arrive in the final quarter of this year.

It also said it would soon release a statement that would provide clarity on potential KG Mobility activities Down Under.
