The brand, which mainly designs and manufactures its own key components including state of the art high-technology engines, will continue its exciting programme of new models stretching into the 20’s, including vehicles more eco-friendly engines and with pure-electric powertrains.

AN EVOLUTION OF REXTON DESIGN

SsangYong Motors has led Korea’s SUV market since introducing the Rexton in 2001. In 2017, the Rexton was totally revamped with a 4^th generation model, and is now known to be smarter, safer, and more stylish than ever.  The new 2017 Rexton was a total re-design from the ground up, the only thing in common with its’ predecessor, is its name.

Following hard on the heels of new Tivoli, when SsangYong set new standards for value-priced compact SUVs, the 2017 Rexton introduction was further evidence of the brands re-generation after Mahindra and Mahindra made significant investments in the company.  It demonstrated the rapid progress being made as a specialist producer of 4×4’s and SUV’s.

Now enters the facelift to the 2017 model into the UK market. The refreshed, modern new-look 20-model year design was led by the team at the firms R&D Centre in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, and features a range of updates designed to deliver more in every respect – more presence, more prestige, more strength, more safety, more style and more space.  It’s been restyled inside and out with graceful detailing that complements its rugged off-road capability, and it looks and feels like a game-changer.

Inside, the Rexton impresses even further with its driver assistance technologies and safety aids and multimedia options. Engineered for an active lifestyle, new Rexton exceeds expectations by delivering spacious comfort, practical go-anywhere ability and superior safety. Its exterior is inspired by the ‘Dignified Motion’ of SsangYong’s design language and as you’d expect from over 65 years of SsangYong four-wheel drive heritage, it’s a magnificently muscular thing.

INTERIOR DESIGN CUES

Rexton offers generous levels of equipment along with cutting edge integrated design technologies.  Its interior achieves a balance between comfort and control – a perfect equilibrium offering generous space, contemporary luxury and impressive technology.

To ensure maximum space and comfort, both driver and passenger needs are taken into consideration in the design of the overall package. This is a multi-role SUV which blends style with load carrying capability, designed to be somewhere you’d be happy to spend a lot of time in; the cabin is spacious and luxurious with plenty of shoulder and headroom. Legroom in the second row is especially generous and second-row seats may be double-folded to maximise the load space. In fact, the Rexton’s size gives you one of the largest load spaces in its sector.

The Rexton is incredibly flexible with a huge capacity for luggage. Measured up to window level, the EX model offers 1,977 litres of rear boot space with the seats down and 820 litres of boot space with the seats up. The second row of seats split 60:40 (with ISOFIX) with a folding centre armrest and fold completely flat for large loads. In 7-seat models, along with the second-row seats folding 60:40, the third row can be folded individually 50:50 to give more flexibility. Access to these rear seats is made easy by the double-folding second row seats.

The ergonomic eight-way driver seat has four-way lumbar support and the passenger seat is six-way power adjustable. Maximum seat comfort is ensured by Pullmaflex springs and varying density of the foam used in different areas of the seat cushion. For added comfort, the tilt angle on the second row of seats can be adjusted up to 32.5 degree maximum from the vertical position. In addition, the front and rear seats are heated, and the Ultimate front seats are ventilated. Seats are trimmed with cloth, a top-end TPU or Nappa leather, giving it a “soft-touch” and premium feel cabin.
