SsangYong XLV
The SsangYong XLV is a SUV 5-doors sold under the SsangYong name. In the catalogue data it is one model line: the first generation ran from 2016-01-01 to 2021-01-31, then the 1 generation, restyling continued from 2021-02-01 with no end date in the data. That is one generation plus a restyling, not a second separate generation. Across both periods the body type stays SUV 5-doors.

Every version uses a 1597 cm³ inline 4-cylinder engine, a 6-speed gearbox, 167 mm ground clearance, and a 47 L tank. Fuel is either Gasoline (95) or Diesel. Drive is FWD or AWD. 0–100 km/h is not measured for every version.
People searching SsangYong XLV, SsangYong XLV 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 are looking at the first-generation window (2016-01-01–2021-01-31). SsangYong XLV specs, engine, weight, and dimensions are covered below from the same numbers. Searches that mix this model with Musso XLV or Tivoli XLV names are a different naming problem: this article is only the XLV record given here. There are no prices in the data, so list price and “for sale” figures are not stated.

Which version to choose
Use the catalogue numbers; there is no price field.
Lowest combined fuel and CO2: 1.6 MT 115 hp Diesel FWD — 4.7 L/100 km, 121 g/km. If you need AWD on diesel with a Manual, 1.6 MT 115 hp Diesel AWD is 5.1 combined and 131 g/km, 0.4 L/100 km and 10 g/km above the FWD manual diesel, with 100 kg more kerb (1505 vs 1405).
Diesel with Automatic: 1.6 AT 115 hp Diesel FWD is 5.9 combined / 154 g/km; 1.6 AT 115 hp Diesel AWD is 6.3 / 164. Automatic diesel costs 1.2 L/100 km combined versus manual diesel on FWD (5.9 vs 4.7). Torque is the same 300 Nm on all four diesels.
Petrol, first generation: 1.6 MT 128 hp Gasoline FWD is the fastest of that period at 178 km/h and the lightest petrol of that period at 1315 kg, combined 7.1. 1.6 AT 128 hp Gasoline FWD is 172 km/h and 7.3 combined. 1.6 AT 128 hp Gasoline AWD is the only petrol AWD; it matches 172 km/h but uses 7.9 combined and 184 g/km, the highest CO2 in the table.
After 2021-02-01: only petrol FWD remains. Restyling 1.6 MT 128 hp Gasoline FWD has the highest top speed in the whole file (181 km/h) and the lowest kerb (1295 kg). Restyling 1.6 AT 128 hp Gasoline FWD is 175 km/h, 7.8 combined. Diesel and AWD are not in the restyling list.
Power vs torque: petrol 128 hp is 13 hp above diesel 115 hp; diesel torque 300 Nm is 140 Nm above petrol 160 Nm. 0–100 km/h remains not measured, so that gap cannot be turned into a sprint time.
Reliability / problems: the data has no failure rates, recalls, or owner scores. Specs that stay constant (clearance 167 mm, tank 47 L, 1597 cm³ Inline 4, 6 speeds) are the only reliability-adjacent facts here.
XLV vs Tivoli / Korando / Musso: this record is XLV only. No comparison dimensions or engines for those names are in the launch data, so they are not scored here.
