The world premiere of the all new Ssangyong Rexton took place in the company of Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra & Mahindra, Johng-sik Choi, CEO of SsangYong Motor and international guests.
Unveiling the new car, Johng-sik Choi said, "Following the launch of Tivoli which set new standards for compact Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs), the new Rexton will confirm SsangYong as a leading producer of large premium SUVs with traditional 4x4 values. We plan to build a full lineup of SUVs by introducing a new product every year over the next few years, including a brand new pickup truck. We will also focus our resources on creating further growth by developing an electric vehicle and other eco-friendly vehicles for the future."
As a new and authentic SUV, Rexton will help SsangYong re-establish its brand internationally, and draws on the original Rexton for its iconic flagship status.
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 noise, vibration and harshness performance.
The Rexton powertrain employs a 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine and Mercedes-Benz seven-speed automatic transmission. This highly efficient and quiet e-XDi220 engine delivers progressive acceleration from a standing start, and a strong low end torque typical of SsangYong engines. A highly efficient 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine will also be offered, matched to an Aisin six-speed automatic transmission.
The car's four-wheel drive system (4WD) draws on SsangYong's years of experience in 4WD technology. With rear-wheel drive under normal driving conditions for comfort and fuel efficiency, there is also 4WD with high/low ratios for when on and off-road conditions demand. A combination of double wishbone suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear ensures a high level of driving stability.
