Ssangyong Rexton Review, For Sale, Interior, Specs, Colours & Models

The Ssangyong Rexton is a large, all-wheel drive, seven-seat SUV.

The Rexton has been around since 2001 but the current generation of the SUV was updated in 2023. Based on the SsangYong Musso off-road ute the Rexton is capable over tough terrain and great for towing.

The Rexton is an affordable alternative other off-road ute-based SUVs such as the Ford Everest and Isuzu MU-X.

The line-up currently starts at $47,300 for the Rexton ELX (4WD) and ranges through to $57,000 for the range-topping Rexton Ultimate Sport Pack (4WD).

Ssangyong Rexton Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Ssangyong Rexton here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • 2023 Ssangyong Rexton will not respond to the menu selector button

    Glitches in digital displays like these are not uncommon across all makes and models. They can occur suddenly and for no good reason and while some of them can be repaired, replacement of the whole unit is a more common approach.

    But don’t forget that this is a warranty job on your car, so make sure SsangYong is made aware of it, fixes it and foots the bill. A fault like this is why cars have factory warranties in the first place.
