SsangYong Tivoli G12T, new 128 hp turbo gasoline engine

A couple of months ago we were at the controls of the updated ssangyong tivoli in its mechanical version G15T. That name corresponds to the 1.5 turbo gasoline engine with 163 hp. During the proof We told you all our impressions about the car and the update it had received. We told you that the engine pushed a lot, and that it would be interesting to have a mechanics somewhat cheaper, more efficient and less powerful.

Well, the south korean brand yesterday presented a new variant for its urban crossover: the Ssang Yong Tivoli G12T. This version is positioned as the access to the range and, at least from my point of view, a more logical, rational option that fits better with the approach of the vehicle. In the following lines we are going to describe all the characteristics of this new variant, features and prices.

A more logical engine for this car

The SsangYong Tivoli G12T uses a brand new engine in the South Korean brand. It is a block of three cylinders and 1.197 cc., with turbo and direct injection. It has four valves per cylinder, a particulate filter, and the block is made of aluminum. In addition, it has variable distribution in intake and exhaust.

develops a power of 128 CV at 5.000 rpm, as well as a maximum torque of 230 Nm between 1.750 and 3.500. Its maximum speed is 181 km/h and it can accelerate from 0 to 100 in 10,6 seconds according to the approved data. Meanwhile, his combined consumption is 6,7 l/100 km.

As you can see, they are quite normal features and performance data. The 15 hp G163T engine has high performance for, in my opinion, the type of regular customer of a funfair. In fact, it may be the case that some customers could be "scared" when buying the car and see that in gasoline they have to go to such a powerful mechanic. The incorporation of this 1.2 seems to me a success.

In this way, the new mechanics of 1.200 cc. joins the aforementioned G15T 1.5 petrol block with 163 hp and the D16T diesel, which is a 1.6 hp 136-liter. Logic makes us think that the most demanded mechanics will be the new one, the new 128 hp gasoline engine. Diesel sales in these times where this fuel is so frowned upon will be very low, although this does not mean that it is a bad option for customers who travel many kilometers.

As always, very well equipped

Before moving on to the prices, we would like to remind you that the SsangYong Tivoli is a model with a great price-equipment ratio, because it brings many active safety systems and driving aids. Standard on all finishes comes with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, sign recognition, fatigue detection or safety distance alert, among others.
