They've done such a good job with this update - I had the G4 when it came out in 2017 and loved it, sure it's more rugged and less refined than the cars at the twice the price but I really liked it. I really hope Ssangyong get through their current troubles. Great Review by the way!!

Korea is absolutely killing it in the SUV segment. I bought my wife a Palisade Limited and my brother just got the KIA Sonata X-Line. Nothing seems to come close for the price, wonderful vehicles. Funny enough KIA and Hyundai wouldn't have even made my short list until I saw yalls review over a year ago. Love the channel and the reviews!

I was first introduced to a Rexton when my brother bought a used one back in 20Something (Don't remember the exact year). Unfortunately he did not keep it for long as it later stopped driving. I loved it because it looked huge, and was a 7 seater family SUV. I wish that Ssangyong can be brought back to South Africa, particularly the Rexton,

The Rexton was introduced in 2001, while the second generation (featured in this video but pre-facelift) was introduced in 2017. I do like the second generation better and there’s a black edition in my city in Korea and it looks good.

Good video Charlie! But this is definitely not a Palisade competitor. This competes with the Kia Mohave and to me, the Kia is superior. I'd only buy the Rexton if it were a lot cheaper. And it's not.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, i do agree. But i can tell you, this Ssangyong Rexton actually has better ride than Kia Mohave. But Mohave just has better powertrain with 3.0L Diesel. Thank you JOhn.

[@metalmick99]

Great review! You clearly enjoy your work and that's nice to see. Sadly, this vehicle in Australia lacks satnav and adaptive CC, which for me was something of a deal-breaker. It comes across as a high-quality vehicle though, and well thought-out in its design. Thanks for the performance and economy figures and especially putting them in modern and archaic measurements. The braking performance seems excellent and I tend to rate being able to stop as rather important. From the side it looks nicely proportioned, but from the front, very bluff and forceful. Sadly, the CC and sheer intimidating height of it (my tiny wife had to pack a lunch and water bottle before clambering up into the driving position) saw it crossed-off our list. I love it though.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

I wonder why Ssangyong left the adaptive cruise control for this Ssangyong Rexton. Thanks Michael.

[@metalmick99]

@@AsianPetrolhead I can't understand why they'd do that either. A Sorento GT-Line is about 20% more, and an Outback Touring slightly cheaper in Oz. So it can't have been for price-competitiveness.

[@metalmick99]

Mystery solved re the cruise control, AP: I filled-in a form on the Ssangyong Oz website. They called me back. Apparently, the electric power steering used in left-hand drive markets is replaced with hydraulic for right-hand drive, and this interferes with the fitting of the adaptive cruise control thingies. Cheers, Michael P.

Great review, would have been nice to see it off-road to see what its capability it has in those situations - look forward to seeing it in Australia. Just wondered what your view is regarding Ssangyongs financial situation at the present time and if they will be able to find a new partner or will the government support them ?

[@twinshock175]

I am interested also in that situation, dont want to buy an orphaned brand that could get dumped. There seems to be a bigger dealer network around Aust now, so hopefully the fallout will be kind and continues as usual. I liked the review and not really looking to compare to the Hyundai, but would compare more to the D90 SAIC LVD, as they have also landed here in Australia. Currently I have a have a Kia and Hyundai vehicles, and very happy with Korean made vehicles. I am interested in its towing ability as the Rexton is 3500kg tow rated, so I will look to see what local reviews give it.

[@wocko1]

The Rexton is actually cheaper than the Mohave, the price he quoted was for the fully loaded "The Black" model. It's also interesting that Ssangyong is starting to gain interest in Australia, especially the Musso and Rexton, as we Aussies love diesel powered 4WDs (wagons and pickups) that have great towing capacity. Personally, I think Kia is frigging STUPID for keeping the Mohave exclusive to Korea. It would SELL LIKE HOTCAKES in Australia because it's diesel, body-on-frame, 4WD, has decent brand recognition and has a decent towing capacity. The Hyundai Palisade is a JOKE, it's only an AWD despite being big, heavy and having a diesel engine.

Now I own a 2015 Rexton W 2.0 XDi. Done 102.000 km on it. Incredible car, very good quality. Done fuel efficiency 8,7 l / 100 km last weekend. Previously I owned 2013 SsangYong Korando 2.0 XDi - also a good car, but I had changed clutch 2 times before I sold it after I did 98.000 km. My dad has a 2013 Hyundai Genesis 3,8 V6 - best car in his opinion. Previously he had 1995 Hyundai Sonata. And the most curious thing is that our family lives in Warsaw, where SsangYongs or Genesises are oddeities on 4 wheels. But we love "kimchi cars". Greetings from Poland to all, and You, Mr. Asian Petrolhead. Keep filming the tests. Do You wanna some reports of long milleages of Rexton or Genesis in Poland?

[@nishantsama]

Can i convert 2017 rexton into latest one. Any body kit available?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, it's got side steps and all. So, i don't think you need any more additional body kits. Thanks Nishant for enjoying the Ssangyong Rexton review.

[@tejusjose1006]

if mahindra gives it xuv 700 interior it will be amazing

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, Ssangyong does not belong to Mahindara anymore.

[@OmKaR-if2ek]

@@AsianPetrolhead i checked in Google, and it says it still belongs to Mahindra.

[@ozibharati2839]

Will it come to India as Mahindra Alturas?

[@ronshami759]

Till now no plan as hardly anyone buy this car in comparison to fortuner etc.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Alturas G4

[@ghmusic8116]

AlfaMega A No Mahindra cancelled the Alturas last month & are presently trying to dispose of SsangYong who've gone bust & are going into court receivership next week (steer well clear!)

[@chrisali2173]

I'd be put off until we see how Ssangyong comes out of bankruptcy.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, really hope Ssangyong could come out of financial crisis. Thanks Chris.

Bro I have to admit that you are handsdown the most affable and engaging car reviewer on KZbin. Love the work. Keep em coming 👍

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you Rahual. Appreciate your support! & Thank you for watching our Ssangyong Rexton review!

[@fredf4562]

Awesome that you did a Ssangyong review! I loved their vehicles when I went to Korea. I was wondering how it was on gas consumption. I’d really like you to test drive their small pickup, that would be my choice if we had it in Canada. Great review, keep up the good work!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

The efficiency update is on the 12:43 This Ssangyong Rexton is actually quiet efficient. Thanks Fred.

[@МаксимЧерный-о1ц]

Good day. How comfortable are the seats?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Seats are large and comfortable. Thank you for enjoying the new Ssangyong Rexton review.

[@matthewdenham1949]

Great review thank you. You didn’t comment on the ride - was it smoother than the pre-face-lifted model or not? I would love to see an off-road review as well to see if they have improved the traction control and to see if the car can move forward when diagonally opposing wheels are both in the air.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, ride is much better than the pre-facelift model. I think this Ssangyong Rexton even has better ride than Kia Mohave. Thank you.

[@alexiszurex]

Charlie, is it possible if u write in description : - car variant + price - car engine specs ( gear ratio, compression, how many shift gears, ect ect) - car features such sunroof, ebd, cruise control,360 cam, blindspot, ect ect. - car dimensions including wheel base and turning radius ground clearence. - feul consumption - 0-100, 100-0 time Ect ect Just suggestion ^^v

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Alexis. But we will try. Thank you for watching our Ssangyong Rexton review.

[@yes8032]

This rexton looks soo good the interior kinda reminds me of a Ford for some reason 🤔

[@AsianPetrolhead]

LOL Ford. I think this Ssangyong Rexton has better interior than Ford Explorer. Thanks george.

[@grahamstevenson6417]

Great review mate. Do you know if it comes with a transmission oil cooler on the Auto? To help keep it cool under heavy towing

[@AsianPetrolhead]

I don't think it has oil cooler for the transmission. Thanks Graham.

[@apou71]

Does it have a massage seat (s) 💺?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

No this, Ssangyong Rexton doesn't have any massaging seats! Thanks Aashray!

[@apou71]

[@DNemes-zf8xv]

[@AsianPetrolhead]

I hope they do come back. Thank you for watching our Ssangyong Rexton Review!
