Vehicle overview
Coming from the stables of Korea’s oldest automotive manufacturer, we have the 2021 Sangyong Rexton, a large SUV which comfortably carries 7 people and is ready for adventure. The Rexton is a bit of everything and can fit in with the refined family SUVs while still having a place amongst more rugged 4x4 vehicles. Built on high strength steel, it has strong foundations providing superb rigidity and protection.
Pulled by a 2.2 litre turbo diesel engine, the Sangyong Rexton produced 148 kilowatts of power, providing enough power for driving around the city, while still having enough grunt to pull a trailer for the camping trip getaway. Fuel consumption is modest at 8.9L/100km.
Depending on the vehicle purchased in the range, luxuries are available such as a powered tailgate, wireless charging, Apple CarPlay and android auto to ensure there is enough comfort technology in this vehicle to be enjoyable. Safety is covered with a set of features including forward collision warning, lane change warning, rear cross traffic warning and impressively a trailer sway control, especially handy if you are new to towing.
Overall, the Sangyong Rexton is a good value offering especially at its price point and is sweetened further by Sangyong’s 777 warranty, featuring 7 year warranty, 7 year service price menu and 7 year roadside assistance.
