SsangYong X100 compact crossover to be called Tivoli

South Korean carmaker SsangYong has announced that it will call its upcoming compact crossover "Tivoli". The car is named after the Tivoli, a town situated near Rome, Italy. The company has also released three sketches giving us an idea of how the car is expected to look.

The X100, as the car had been codenamed, has been under development for the past three years. It was shown as XIV Air and XIV Adventure concepts at the Paris Motor Show, which was held in October. Going by the images, the production version is expected to carry over a lot of styling cues from the concepts and will have an urban SUV look.

The image of the interiors reveals a stylish cabin. SsangYong claims that it is designed to offer easy IT connectivity for its occupants.

The engine data of the Tivoli has not been revealed. However, if reports are to be believed, SsangYong will offer 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder petrol and diesel power plants for the crossover.

The Tivoli is expected to be launched in Korea in January 2015. It will be introduced in global markets in mid-2015. Indian auto major Mahindra, the parent company of SsangYong, has not disclosed any plans of bringing the Tivoli to India.
