The SsangYong Tivoli XLV is a larger version of the standard Tivoli
The extra 245mm in length extends out over the rear wheels
The XLV drives much like the standard Tivoli with similar steering and handling characteristics 
The ride soaks up imperfections in the road well
The XLV on test is the 4x4 automatic which impacts economy and costs more to buy
Standard kit is very generous including Sat Nav, Auto Lights/ Wipers, Dual Zone Climate control and leather trim
Seats are comfortable but the trim colour in test car will divide opinion 
The four-wheel-drive system spends most of its time in front-wheel-drive mode
Prices are around £1000 more than standard Tivoli 
The XLV only increases boot space with no change to passenger room 
The boot capacity now stands at 720 litres (measured from boot floor to roof) compared to the 423 litres load area of the standard Tivoli
Rear seats offer buyers the usual 60/ 40 split folding ability
