SsangYong to reveal new Rexton

The new generation Rexton will be unveiled tomorrow at the 2017 Seoul Motor Show in Korea, writes Trish Whelan. 

It continues the renewal of SsangYong’s brand identify which began with the launch of Tivoli, and will compete with the traditional off-road SUVs.

SsangYong say it will deliver style, a great driving experience, high levels of safety, and new technology. 

The new model inherits its flagship DNA from the original Rexton, has a robust and authentic SUV styling and the interior has enough inner space for the first and second-row passengers, equally.

It’s quad-frame body is made of advanced high-strength steel and the car comes with nine airbags. 

With a refined and luxurious interior, the new car will feature Apple Carplay and Android Auto with device mirroring, 3D AVM (Around View Monitoring), and a wide 9.2-inch HD screen.

Rexton will be powered by both petrol and new clean-burning diesel engines. Towing capacity is 3,500kg.

New generation Rexton will go on sale internationally, including Ireland, before the end of 2017.

SsangYong cars are manufactured in South Korea by SsangYong Motor.
