Looking for a diesel-powered crossover that combines all-weather capability with real-world practicality? The Ssangyong Tivoli XLV 1.6 AWD ELX (2016) is a compelling choice for Filipino families who need extra cargo space and the confidence of all-wheel drive without breaking the bank.
Under the hood, this car packs a 1.6-liter Inline-4 diesel engine with direct injection, delivering 115 horsepower from 3,400 to 4,000 rpm and a stout 300 Nm of torque from just 1,500 rpm. That low-end grunt is perfect for city traffic and highway overtakes, channeled through a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels via the AWD drivetrain. With a 1,425 kg curb weight and unibody construction, the Tivoli XLV feels planted and responsive on Philippine roads.
Key Highlights
Spacious 2+3 seating in a 4,440 mm long body with a 2,600 mm wheelbase — the “XLV” (eXtra Long Version) offers generous legroom and a 47-liter fuel tank for fewer stops.

Modern convenience includes keyless entry, push-button start, a 6-speaker audio system with touchscreen, Bluetooth, USB, AUX, and CD/MP3 playback.

16-inch alloy wheels with 205/50 R16 tires, manual air conditioning with rear vents, and a tilt steering column for driver comfort.
With a price in the Philippines of ₱1,245,000, the Ssangyong Tivoli XLV 1.6 AWD ELX (2016) is an excellent value proposition for budget-conscious drivers who want a diesel crossover with genuine off-road readiness and family-friendly space.
