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.

Ssangyong produces a full 2 berth fully equipped campervan, on show at the Motorhome and Caravan show.

• Fully equipped luxury 2-berth (4-berth optional) Turismo Tourist campervan
• 2.2 litre diesel Euro 6 engine
• 4x4 and 7-speed Mercedes-Benz automatic transmission available
• Class leading 5 year limitless mileage warranty
• The Motorhome & Caravan Show, 11-16 October at the NEC, Birmingham
• Stand no: 12.85 - Hall 12

SsangYong will preview its new Turismo Camper at the Motorhome & Caravan Show, 11-16 October at the NEC, Birmingham.

Based on a standard SsangYong Turismo MPV, the new Tourist camper is over 5 metres long and with a 3 metre wheelbase creates the perfect campervan.  

Larger than a standard sized people carrier, the Turismo is powered by a 2.2 litre Euro 6 diesel engine, and is available with the choice of a 6-speed manual transmission or new Mercedes-Benz 7-speed automatic, and with the option of two-wheel drive or 4x4.

Maximum power is 178ps and torque of 400Nm which 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.

The design and manufacturing work to create the Turismo Tourist Camper has been completed in the UK by Wellhouse Leisure of Huddersfield, a leading UK campervan manufacturer.

The campervan comprises a colour-matched elevating roof, driver and passenger swivel and folding seats to create twin beds with in-fill cushions and memory foam toppers, a rear tailgate awning, sliding glass top hob for indoor or outdoor use, small sink, gas bottle, 12v charging system, 25ltr compressor fridge, fresh and waste water containers, portable toilet, and all woodwork made from light weight ply.

Prices for the Turismo Tourist start at £29,995, and options include Eberspacher heating, mains hook-up and a solar panel.

“Turismo is one of the largest cars on the market, and in standard form offers seating for seven adult passengers and their luggage, and therefore ideal for conversion into a two-person campervan,” says Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK.  “Wellhouse Leisure has done an excellent job in creating such a great vehicle for the booming leisure market.”

5 year limitless mileage warranty

As with all models in the SsangYong range, the Turismo Tourist is covered by a best-in-class 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 the engine and drivetrain, wheel bearings, suspension joints and bushes, steering joints, shock absorbers and even the audio system.  Wearable components such as clutch friction plates and brake pads which could have their life reduced by poor driving are covered for one year or 12,500 miles, and the battery and paintwork for three years.

The Tivoli XLV - an extended body model of the already popular SsangYong Tivoli compact SUV, is now on sale from £18,250 or just £198 per month on PCP*.

“The SUV market has seen rapid growth and our new Tivoli launched last year is already the best-selling model launched by SsangYong,” said Paul Williams, CEO of SsangYong Motor UK.  “Some 100,000 have now been sold around the world.

“Tivoli has been praised universally for meeting a number of customer requirements, not least its ability to carry five adults in comfort, and for having one of the largest boot capacities in its class.

“Now SsangYong has gone a step further by launching an extended car to provide even more carrying capacity and practicality, and we believe that this will enable us to compete with SUVs such as the Nissan Qashqai, but also station wagon style cars like the MINI Clubman, Skoda Yeti & Roomster and other small estates." 

Prices start from just £18,250 for the Tivoli XLV 1.6 diesel manual 2WD – that’s just £1,000 more than for the equivalent Tivoli ELX - £19,250 with automatic transmission, £19,500 for theTivoli XLV 1.6 diesel manual 4x4, and £20,500 for the 4x4 with automatic.

Sharing the same platform and 2,600mm wheelbase as the Tivoli, the XLV features a lengthened body from behind the C pillar, an increase of 238mm over the standard car, expanding the load capacity to a huge 720 cubic litres of space.  Meanwhile, the styling cues that distinguish Tivoli are retained, including its harmoniously fused SUV body design, sports coupé look and floating roofline.

Designed to offer a multi-role, multi-function solution to a wide range of customers, Tivoli XLV provides just the versatility needed to meet individual lifestyles: family car for lugging baby buggies and cots for small children, bikes and golf clubs for the sports-minded, and materials or business equipment during the working week.

Passenger safety has been a top priority for this car, and comes with seven airbags including front, side and curtain airbags plus a driver’s knee airbag, multi-function ESP (Electronic Stability Program), Active Rollover Protection, Brake Assist, Hill Start Assist and ESS (Emergency Stop Signal), a tyre pressure monitoring system and a warning reminder on all five seat belt positions.

Tivoli XLV is offered with a Euro 6 compliant 1.6 litre diesel engine, and matched with the option of a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed Aisin automatic, two-wheel drive or 4x4.

The newly developed 1.6 litre e-XDi160 diesel engine produces 115ps/3,400-4,000rpm max power with 300Nm/1,500-2,500rpm, and delivers a smooth, progressive and powerful driving experience.  It also features a fifth generation E-VGT turbocharger which maximises performance especially in the mid-low speed range so it is fun and responsive to drive.  With manual transmission there’s also ISG (stop/start) to meet the demand for low CO₂ emission levels.

The 1.6 litre diesel engine achieves a CO₂ emission level of just 117g/km (two-wheel drive, manual transmission with Stop/Start), and economy of up to 62.8mpg on the Combined cycle.

Intelligent four-wheel drive

The SsangYong DNA is all about 4x4, and the Tivoli XLV draws on this by offering the option of an intelligent 4-wheel drive system.  The electronically controlled on-demand system distributes power to front and rear drive shafts, and automatically adjusts to the road surface and driving conditions to optimise performance.

In normal driving, the drive system distributes all power to the front wheels to enhance fuel efficiency, and automatically adapts to 4-wheel drive in snow or wet slippery conditions, by diverting power to the rear wheels as well to ensure driving stability.  For increased stability and reassurance, particularly when driving on a hill or slope, the 4-wheel drive operates with Hill Start Assist which helps by delivering power to any wheels that are spinning.  And for optimised braking performance, ESP and ABS also control the 4x4 system for greater safety. 

With a 167mm ground clearance, approach angle of 20.0 degrees, 20.8 degree departure angle, and 17.0 degree ramp angle, a highly competent off-road capability is assured.

Comprehensively equipped, the Tivoli XLV features digital-dual zone automatic air conditioning, an infotainment system with RDS radio, 7” high-resolution touch screen, USB/AUX port, iPod & Bluetooth connectivity, Tom-Tom navigation and rear view camera.  There is cruise control, parking sensors front and rear, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlight activation and stylish roof rails.
