The 2018 SsangYong Rexton has officially touched
European soil, at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, after being presented in full
at Seoul, this spring.
Its arrival at one of the largest automotive events
of the fall is not a coincidence, as the Korean automaker is getting ready to
launch it internationally, before the end of the year, after it already arrived
at dealers in its homeland, where it is known as the G4 Rexton.
The new generation
SsangYong Rexton has a modern design, which brings it in line with the rest of
the family. Its cabin is focused on passenger convenience and load space, and
can take in up to 7 occupants. At the same time, drivers will come to
appreciate some of its amenities, such as the 9.2-inch screen for the
infotainment system, smartphone connectivity, navigation, and dual-zone climate
control, among others.
SsangYong have also equipped their challenger to the
likes of the Hyundai Santa Fe and Nissan X-Trail with autonomous emergency
braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, traffic sign
recognition, and high beam assist.
UK residents will be able to order the SUV starting
from next month, with prices ranging between £ 27,500 (US$ 36,413), for the base EX
manual gearbox model, to £ 37,500 (US$ 49,654) for the range-topping Ultimate,
equipped with an automatic transmission.
