2019 SsangYong (KGM) Tivoli 1.6 e-XGi Ultimate: 46,000 Mile/Four and a Half Year Ownership Report

[@frazzleface753]

I quite like the interior of this car, sir. And you keep her very clean and tidy. A Korean oddity. And we like our unusual Korean cars on this channel, Mr. Lloyd.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sir, I did just have it cleaned... If we still own it by July, then this will be the car I have owned the longest ever.

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Thank you for the ownership report Sir, looks like you are still enjoying this car. I passed a new KGM version today on my travels and still looks a fresh design. We have a KGM dealer not far from us and you usually see the Manager driving about in KGM badged cars and KGM private plate.

I think we are going to have a Very Vague Vlog coming up soon about KGM's first year of sales in this country. It is surprising, but 2024's sales were not as strong as 2023 under SsangYong. The Tivolis after the 2023 update do like quite nice, don't they?

[@chrislockey7706]

Nice car Joseph , id rather have it with fuel you don't like I have a 2014 Ssangyong Korando and its been fantastic

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

The forbidden fuel ones tend to have a lot more issues, sadly....

[@andyallen632]

That's a very nice car Joseph I have never seen one here, Genisis have just launched the new EV 80 and have you reviewed a Honda Legend if so could you provide a link in your reply thank you best regards Andy Allen.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, extremely rare in many places, and never sold in America. I haven't ever tried a Honda Legend, although I did drive a Genesis G70 in 2022. The Legends were very rare over here, but they were sold into the 2010s, I believe.

[@andyallen632]

@@lloydvehicleconsulting If you ever get the chance to find one and drive it I think from what I have been told Joseph they are exceptionally good thank you for your reply best regards Andy Allen.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sir, we would very much like to try one if possible....

[@richardhowlett7398]

Not exactly my kind of car, it still looks good, and as long as it does what you want, I’ll look forward to the 100,000 mile report .

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Sir, we won't own it by then, but it has been pretty good overall considering how long we have had it.

[@Dino_Dad.]

Sir, I admire your bravery to buy a low volume brand. The Dino family do have a the Kia Sportage which is probably similarly built. I guess it's just good marketing on their part . Also we do have on sale here in Oz the 2024 ssangyong ute ( 4 door pick up) and it's fairly popular with good deals but in a very congested section as expected 🦖🫡

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

The Sportage is a larger car than this, and really competes with the Korando, but the Tivoli is quite spacious for its size. SsangYong/KGM have sold cars in Australia for a while now, but I can't imagine they are big sellers...

[@johnedwards3198]

There was once upon a time that Kia was considered a low volume budget brand from poor cheap runarounds to cheap but decent quality to Ford beaters. Here's hoping KGM have an equally step changed development! Although I fear with the move to cheap Chinese electrics in the EU that KGM will remain a low volume producer here

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

We will be looking at the KGM versus SsangYong sales statistics for 2024 soon. It's...interesting!
