The Ssangyong Rexton has now been upgraded to be able to tow 3.5 tonnes.

• Towing capacity increased to 3.5 tonnes
• 2.2 litre turbo diesel engine
• Strong ladder chassis construction and 4x4
• 7-speed Mercedes-Benz automatic transmission
• Four models from just £22,995
• Class leading 5-year limitless mileage warranty

Rexton, the flagship four-wheel drive SUV in the SsangYong range, now features a 3,500kg towing capacity following approval by the VCA - the UK Vehicle Certification Agency responsible for Vehicle Type Approval.

“This is great news for our customers, many of whom want to tow large caravans, double horse boxes, boats and heavy equipment work trailers,” says Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK, “and unquestionably makes Rexton one of the best value tow cars in the market.”

Rexton is powered by a 2.2 litre Euro 6 turbo diesel engine, and available with the choice of a 6-speed manual transmission or Mercedes-Benz 7-speed automatic.

Maximum power is 178ps and torque 400Nm, with maximum torque delivered from a low of 1,400rpm and maintained through a wide range up to 2,800rpm for smooth, progressive driving. CO2 emissions are 184g/km on the manual transmission model, while fuel economy is up to 40mpg (Combined cycle).

Built on a steel ladder chassis and now with its 3.5 tonne towing capacity, the SsangYong Rexton is a serious off-roader and tow-car, yet with all the equipment and creature comforts expected of a motorway cruiser.

Noted for being extremely capable off-road, the Rexton uses a body-on-frame construction for maximum strength. It features double wishbone and coil spring suspension to the front, and a five-link rigid axle with coil springs at the rear, while the EX automatic and ELX models feature multi-link rear suspension for an even more comfortable ride.

The driver can select low range when going off road which splits the torque equally between the front and rear axles to provide all round traction, and ensures optimum grip across the most challenging terrain.

Available with either five or seven seats, the Rexton range is comprehensively equipped with the range topping ELX featuring a luxurious beige/grey leather interior, new multi-function leather covered steering wheel, distinctive 18” Diamond cut alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, front and rear parking sensors, auto-dipping rear view mirror, heated rear seats and Sat Nav.

With prices starting from only £22,995 on the road, Rexton has an almost unrivalled position in the 4x4 sector.

The commercial model in the range, the Rexton CSE, also benefits from the increased towing capacity. Priced from only £19,495 (ex VAT), this new 2.2 litre van has an almost unrivalled position in the LCV sector.

The SsangYong Rexton CSE is a strong, proven and purposeful contender to the light commercial vehicle sector, and is now greatly enhanced with the addition of an upgraded 2.2 litre turbo diesel Euro 6 engine.

Built on a steel ladder chassis and with a 3 tonne towing capacity, the SsangYong Rexton CSE makes an extremely competent off-roader and tow-vehicle, yet with all the equipment and creature comforts LCV drivers expect.

Using a body on frame construction for maximum strength, it also features double wishbone and coil spring suspension to the front, and a five link rigid axle with coil springs at the rear.

Commented Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK:  “Priced at only £19,495 (ex VAT), the new 2.2 litre powered Rexton CSE has an almost unrivalled position in the LCV sector.

“Built on a ladder chassis, it is a serious off-roader yet with all the equipment and comfort you expect to find in a SsangYong and at such an amazing price point.  Not only do you get a lot of vehicle for the money but also the reassurance of an industry-leading 5 year limitless mileage warranty for complete peace of mind.”

Powertrain

The newly developed e-XDi220 turbo diesel engine meets the demand for a more powerful performance and lower CO₂ emissions at the same time.  Maximum power is increased to 178ps and torque to 400Nm, and maximum torque is delivered from a low of 1,400rpm and maintained through a wide range up to 2,800rpm for smooth, progressive driving from the start.

Big strides have been made with CO₂ emissions which have been reduced to 184g/km, while fuel economy is also improved and now up to 40.4mpg (Combined cycle).

Interior design and load space

At the work end there’s a completely flat load area accessed via a high lifting tailgate and two side doors, and packing a useful 2.2 cubic metre load volume.  There’s a load deck length of 1,700cm, and 107cm between the wheel arches.  It also carries a very practical 740kg, and willingly pulls a 3 tonne trailer.

Meanwhile, the cabin has been given a refreshed new look.  Aluminium-effect and chrome finishes along with soft-touch materials result in a modern and comfortable environment, yet one that will prove extremely practical in everyday use.

The comprehensive level of standard equipment also includes cruise control, air conditioning, electrically operated windows & heated door mirrors, leather covered steering wheel and gear knob, and CD & RDS radio with iPod and Bluetooth connectivity.

Safety

The Rexton 2.2 CSE features a comprehensive package of active safety features including Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Active Rollover Protection, ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Hill Descent Control, and there are dual front and side air bags. 

Designed to appeal as both a work day and weekend leisure vehicle, the new Rexton blends the multi-role flexibility of a great off-road workhorse with a high level of comfort and standard equipment.

5 year limitless mileage warranty

As with all models in the SsangYong LCV range, the new Rexton 2.2 CSE is covered by a 5 year limitless mileage warranty.

Designed to be totally transparent and give customers complete peace of mind, ‘limitless’ means just that: not a maximum mileage condition that some brands impose in their small print.

All the major mechanical components are covered including wheel bearings, suspension joints and bushes, steering joints, shock absorbers and even the audio system.  Wearable components such as clutch discs and brake friction materials which could have their life reduced by poor driving are covered for one year or 12,000 miles, and the battery and paintwork for three years.

In addition to the new 2.2 litre Euro 6 diesel engine, Rexton also gets the choice of a 6-speed manual transmission or new Mercedes-Benz 7-speed automatic.

Diesel power

The newly developed e-XDi220 diesel engine meets the demand for a more powerful performance and lower CO₂ emissions at the same time.  Maximum power is increased to 178ps and torque to 400Nm - up by 15% and 11% respectively over the previous Euro 5 diesel 2.0 litre engine.  Maximum torque is delivered from a low of 1,400rpm and maintained through a wide range up to 2,800rpm for smooth, progressive driving.

Big strides have also been made with CO₂ emissions which have been reduced to 184g/km, down from 196g/km on the previous manual transmission model, while fuel economy is considerably improved and now up to 40mpg (Combined cycle) compared with 38.2mpg on the model it replaces.

“This is a significant step up for the Rexton,” says Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK.  “The power upgrade and new 7-speed automatic bring greater refinement, while the car continues to deliver unrivaled levels of equipment for the price, and is backed by a comprehensive 5 year limitless mileage warranty for complete peace of mind.”
