Ssand Young revealed to us an extended-range electric version of its all-new Tivoli EVR, an intended rival for the likes of the Nissan Juke and Renault Captur, at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.

Brand-new vehicle is powered by a 127bhp electric motor. It also features a single-cylinder petrol range extender that is used to recharge the battery.

You can see the electric motor because of the unique design of the hood scoop.

The Korean manufacturer says the Tivoli EVR has an electric range of up to 80 miles(130 kms), which can be extended to amazing 310 miles(500 kms) with the help of the engine. The concept has a top speed of 93mph(150 km/h) and emits just 40g/km(40g/0,62m) of CO2.

Price will start at $14,900.

Although Ssangyong says the EVR is merely a concept, its creation has raised hopes that an electric or hybrid Tivoli might go on sale before long.

Some other concept vehicles from Ssang Young

The original Ssang Young XLV concept, which was revealed in Geneva last year and closely previewed the Tivoli, featured a diesel-electric hybrid powertrain.

The ordinary Tivoli  will come with a 1.6-litre petrol or 1.6-litre diesel engine when it goes on sale in May. This version of the Tivoli emits 109g/km of CO2.
