Based on the reviews, Ssangyong Rexton has always been distinguished by an unusual exterior and stood out noticeably from its "colleagues". However, the updated version turned out to be completely different, with an attractive appearance.

Despite the fact that the Asian trait is guessed in the lines of the body, the owners note that the car has not become repulsive, but, on the contrary, has received a certain brutality and zest. Such a frame was made possible due to the presence of a complex massive bumper, a lot of chrome parts, an interesting "squint" of light elements and a large nameplate on the radiator grille. From the side, the vehicle looks no worse (pronounced wheel arches are nicely combined with underlined ribs).

Powertrains

Reviews of the Ssangyong Rexton confirm that buyers are offered two types of engines: petrol and diesel options. In the first case, this is an in-line "four" engine with a volume of two liters with a turbine supercharger. The maximum power indicator is 225"horses", speed - 5,500 rotations per minute. Also, the "engine" is equipped with a phase rotator and a direct injection system. This version aggregates with a six-speed automatic transmission from Aisin.

As an alternative to the gasoline version, a 2.2 liter turbine diesel engine is used. His strength is only enough for 181 "horses". In this case, the torque is 420 Nm within 1,600-2,600 rpm. The transmission is a seven-speed automatic type E-Tronic. In some variations, the machine is equipped with a mechanical analogue for six modes.

Features

Reviews of the Ssangyong Rexton indicate that it is the diesel engine that is the power unit that users and developers focus on. In some markets, you will not find petrol versions at all. Diesel is better suited for a solid SUV due to its high-torque power. It does not require an indicator of ultra-high dynamics. According to the manufacturers statement, the car in question accelerates to 100 kilometers in 11.5 seconds with a top speed of 185 km/h.

At the same time, with an automatic transmission, Rexton is able to transport a trailer weighing up to 3,500 kg. For a gasoline analogue, this parameter is lower by 0.7 tons. The machine is offered in all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. Fuel consumption in mixed mode will be about 9.5-10 liters of diesel per hundred kilometers. The front axle is connected by means of a washer onconsoles between seats. The same node puts the transmission in a low gear mode. The advantage of the plug-in drive is reduced fuel consumption for city driving.

Chassis

Reviews of the Ssangyong Rexton 2, 7 suggest that, like its predecessor, it belongs to frame SUVs. When driving, this is expressed in a certain way. For example, there is a higher landing and center of gravity, in contrast to analogues with a monocoque body. This feature makes the car heavier, making it more stable.

At the same time, the suspension parts are isolated from the body, which provides less sensitivity on road bumps. The rigidity of the base also increases, and this has a positive effect at high loads, including diagonal hanging. The frame has become safer and stronger in collisions. The front and rear suspension assembly is a multi-link MacPherson strut system. The main task of this block is to ensure a comfortable ride, since active cornering is not practiced on such a heavy SUV.

Overcoming off-road is carried out due to the connected all-wheel drive. A lower gear will help you get out of the most difficult situation. The package includes HDS, HSA, 4WD systems that prevent rollover and allow you to overcome solid slopes. Some consumers are missing a rigid rear diff lock, though it's not certain it won't be in the next generation.

Interior

In their reviews of the Ssangyong Rexton(diesel) owners point to the moment that an abundance of expensive materials pleases the interior of the SUV. The set includes eco-leather, real wood, polished metal elements. Compared to its predecessor, the current generation has made significant progress in terms of interior design. The interior decoration definitely looks beautiful and monumental.

The center console has buttons similar to Mercedes analogues. Inside there are decorations made of LED strips (on the doors and panel). Consumers are offered several color variations: gray, brown, chocolate color. Another advantage of the cabin is the large capacity. The trunk did not disappoint either, it holds 800 liters of volume.

In their reviews of the Ssangyong Rexton, users notice another feature. If you fold the rear row of seats, then the capacity of the SUV will be almost two cubic meters of cargo. For an additional fee, the designers will add a couple more seats to the car and adjust them according to the angle of inclination. Even in the seven-seat version, there is enough space inside, although the back row is only comfortable for accommodating teenagers or people of a small build.

Technical plan specifications

The following are the main parameters of the car in question:

• length/width/height (m) - 4, 85/1, 96/1, 82;
• wheelbase (m) - 2.86 m;
• clearance (cm) - 22, 4;
• weight full/curb (t) - 2, 85/2, 13;
• turning radius (m) - 11.

Judging byowner reviews, Ssangyong Rexton is equipped with the maximum for this category of cars. The equipment includes seats with electric adjustment, heating and ventilation, a keyless start system and cruise control. In addition, you get multiple cameras, parking sensors, and an electronic parking brake. Optional Cognac Brown leather upholstery or original body paint.
