SsangYong Rexton 2017 - Features

SsangYong Motor Company has unveiled the new SsangYong Rexton SUV at the 2017 Seoul Motor Show. As a new and authentic SUV, SsangYong Rexton will help SsangYong re-establish its brand internationally, and draws on the original Rexton for its iconic flagship status. With growing demand from around the world for cars with strong off-road driving performance and good towing capabilities to meet the growth in leisure interests, SsangYong expects to see further applications of its body-on-frame, front engine/rear drive layout in large SUVs. This will further consolidate the company's reputation as a specialist SUV manufacturer. The new car embodies robust and dynamic SUV styling and blends drivability with high levels of safety that includes nine airbags. With a front mounted engine, rear-wheel drive and 4x4, Rexton will be a class-leading contender. It will offer excellent driving characteristics on and off-road, balanced weight distribution, great towing capability and good NVH performance. SsangYong expects this new generation Rexton to compete with traditional D & E segment SUVs, and will continue the renewal of SsangYong's brand identity which began with the launch of Tivoli. Inheriting the DNA of the original Rexton flagship, it will also further underpin the company's reputation as Korea's oldest vehicle manufacturer and only 4x4 and SUV specialist producer.
