New
SsangYong Rextons limited appeal is determinedly old fashioned. SsangYongs seven-seat SUV, revised for 2014. Most notably, the Rextons previously crude styling has had some much-needed ointment applied, specifically with the aim of coaxing a prettier nose out of the previously prehistoric front end. No amount of fresh slap could save its squared-off rear haunches from offending the eye, but this is at least a facelift in the right direction. The interior gets a brush up too; a light dusting of soft touch trim and chrome surrounds have appeared on the dash, presumably intended to close the gap to the Kia Sorento. When we last met the Rexton, it was powered by a hand-me-down Mercedes motor; now theres a SsangYong-built 2. 0-litre diesel engine upfront, although the five-speed T-Tronic auto box tested is plucked from the Germans old parts bin. Thats about as far under the skin as the modifications go. The Rextons body still sits on ladder frame – the smaller Korando remains SsangYongs only monocoque – and, while it defaults to driving the rear wheels for better economy, can still power all four the old fashioned way via a dash mounted dial. Despite being ditched elsewhere in the segment, low-range gearing remains a standard feature. The Rextons capabilities off-road, its physical size, seven-seats and a reasonable amount of kit (remote locking, cruise control, heated windscreen, automatic air-con and Bluetooth are all included) are the obvious selling points, and SsangYong is shifting them cheap – the car starts at 21,995 for the SX model with a six-speed manual. The EX, with auto, adds parking sensors, privacy glass, side steps and 18-inch wheels, and costs 25,995.
