As part of the reintroduction of the SsangYong brand into Australia, one of its new offerings is the Rexton ladder-frame, seven-seat large SUV, which for now will act as the flagship model for the brand.
The completely new Rexton removes the, let’s say, divisive styling of the previous model that was offered locally, and adds versatility that the brand hopes will appeal to a wide breadth of buyers ranging from families, SUV lovers and even grey nomads.
Three variants of the Rexton are offered from launch, ranging from the petrol-powered, 2WD EX up to the flagship Ultimate – the only model in SsangYong’s line-up to breach the $50,000 mark.
Can the reborn Rexton capture the hearts of buyers the way its predecessor was unable to do?
