The KGM Tivoli might seem tempting at first glance because it’s reasonably priced, well equipped and somewhat spacious inside. However, there’s little else to recommend it. The driving experience is poor, it’s bad on fuel and the interior feels old and cheap. The Skoda Kamiq and other rival small SUVs are much better in almost every respect.

The trim

See full equipment

This is the Tivoli’s only trim, but it’s very well equipped, getting automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, keyless entry and start, power folding mirrors, dual-zone air-con, leather seats (heated in the front), a heated steering wheel and tinted rear windows.

The engine

See full engine specs

This 161bhp 1.5-litre petrol unit is the only engine available with the Tivoli. It feels pretty punchy but suffers from poor fuel economy. It can be paired with either a six-speed manual gearbox or – if you pay a bit more – an automatic gearbox.
