The start point for the best source of fleet information |
SsangYong has revealed the next generation of its Rexton large SUV. The car is due to arrive in the UK in September or October, and will be available with a choice of petrol and diesel engines, likely to be a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel and 2.0-litre turbo petrol.
These engines will be mated to a rear- biased four-wheel drive system, and the South Korean company claimed the model will be a class-leading contender in its segment, with rivals including the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento and the Peugeot 5008.
According to SsangYong, the Rexton draws heavily from the LIV-2 concept car shown at the Paris motor show last year, with the interior featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity systems as standard as well as a 9.2-inch touchscreen.
It'll come with a host of safety features too, including nine airbags, autonomous emergency braking, lane change assist, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot detection and a 3D around-view monitoring system that gives the driver a 360° view around the vehicle during tight low-speed manoeuvres such as parking.
In terms of design, the Rexton features new headlight clusters, along with a shallow hexagonal grille with chrome trim as well as LED daytime running lights set in the air-intakes The bonnet is heavily creased, as are the car's sides, while the black plastic trim around the wheelarches and the car's undersides hints at its off-road pretensions.
The Rexton will join up with the South Korean brand's range of models that includes the Korando and Tivoli SUVs.
