The Tivoli G1.2T (6-speed manual transmission, 2WD), equipped with SsangYong's first 1.2ℓ gasoline turbo engine, features sporty yet stable driving performance with a maximum output of 128 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230Nm. It meets Euro 6 emission regulations, improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions, while also offering advanced convenience and safety features, achieving performance, economy, and price competitiveness.

Ye Byeong-tae, CEO of SsangYong Motor, said, "To actively respond to the demand in the European market, where downsizing engines and gasoline models are preferred, we have newly added the 1.2ℓ gasoline turbo engine model, further strengthening the Tivoli lineup. Although the global automotive market, including Europe, has been significantly contracted due to COVID-19, we will make every effort to recover exports to Europe in the second half of the year through an enhanced product lineup and various non-face-to-face and online marketing strategies tailored to market conditions."
