SsangYong Motor Company has unveiled the new G4 Rexton. Disadvantages of a Japanese with a German heart. Overview of Sang Yong Rexton with mileage Options and prices

SsangYong Motor Company unveiled the new G4 Rexton at the Seoul International Auto Show

With a next-generation frame and rear-wheel drive, the G4 Rexton clearly captures the Great 4 Revolution spirit of the model name to represent the true values ​​of a premium SUV that blends tradition with innovation.

▷ Style Revolution
In the powerful and dynamic appearance of the G4 Rexton, the spirit of the majestic Greek temple of the Parthenon is felt.
The centrally located wing-shaped grille runs from one headlamp to the other for a dynamic and solid appearance. The expressiveness of the lines on the sidewalls, starting from the rear fenders, gives the feeling that the car is ready to rush forward. The sleek A-pillars and wider C-pillars create a powerful yet sophisticated look through contrast.

The G4 Rexton also provides the highest level of passenger comfort and the largest luggage space in the segment thanks to interior optimization. Class-leading rear legroom and large usable volume ensure maximum passenger comfort. This is the only model in the segment that allows you to carry four golf bags with the rear seats occupied.

Only this model also features a high-resolution 7-inch touchscreen instrument panel with excellent clarity and a wealth of functions.

▷ Movement revolution
The G4 Rexton is offered with an e-XDi220 LET diesel engine and a 7-speed Mercedes-Benz automatic transmission. The highly efficient and quiet e-XDi220 LET diesel delivers excellent starting and acceleration capabilities in the low to mid-range range thanks to the high low-end torque typical of SsangYong engines.

The high efficiency and durability of the Mercedes-Benz 7-speed automatic transmission has already been proven on various Mercedes-Benz models, and in combination with the e-XDi220 engine, it provides smooth shifting and fast responses, which guarantees dynamic driving.

The 4Tronic_Powered system of the G4 Rexton is based on SsangYong's years of experience in all-wheel drive technology. Under normal driving conditions, the driver can use rear-wheel drive for greater comfort and lower fuel consumption. To increase traction when road conditions require it, you can choose from direct drive or low-speed transfer case.

▷ Security revolution
The G4 Rexton is offered with 9 airbags, the maximum number for a car in this segment; among them is an airbag that protects the driver's knees, as well as side airbags for the second row seats. These vehicles feature a host of state-of-the-art safety systems, including the newly developed Quad Frame structure, which utilizes the latest high-strength steels to provide the highest level of safety for driver and passengers.

Manufactured from Giga Steel's 1.5 GPa advanced ultra-high-strength steel, the Quad Frame is the first in the world to achieve such a remarkable weight reduction thanks to innovative engineering. The use of improved high-strength steel (yield strength above 590 MPa) has been expanded to 63%, and through design optimization, body rigidity has also been increased.

To ensure high strength, the lightweight body also uses 81.7% improved high-strength steel, a record for this segment.

In addition, these vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) systems such as Autonomous Emergency Brake Assist (AEBS), Lane Change Assist (LCA), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). ) and Blind Zone Control System (BSD).

▷ Revolution in the spirit of High-Tech
The infotainment system installed in the G4 Rexton is one of the most attractive features of this model. It features a head unit with the largest 2-inch high-definition screen for a Korean SUV 9. The system allows you to use the Apple CarPlay app for Android. And for added convenience, the driver and passengers of the G4 Rexton can connect their Android devices via Wi-Fi.

For the first time in the Korean market, the G4 Rexton uses a surround view system that allows the driver to see the surroundings in real time, which improves safety and convenience when driving at low speeds or when parking.

In addition, these vehicles are available with the 10-speaker Infinity premium audio/video system for best-in-class sound and picture.

Other features include features such as automatic door locking, easy entry and exit, an efficient dual-zone climate control system that traps the smallest dust particles, a 220-volt outlet in the rear, and a Smart Tailgate system for easy loading and unloading of luggage.

The Smart Tailgate technology used in the G4 Rexton is a system that automatically opens the tailgate if the driver with the key is near the rear of the car for about three seconds.

In 2012, the world saw the third generation SsangYong Rexton W 2016-2017, which is produced and sold quite successfully to this day. The car is not that popular, but you can meet it on the streets of any more or less large city.

This is the third generation, the previous two were quite popular and the manufacturer was simply obliged to release a more modern model to maintain sales levels. The car has changed in many ways, but first things first.

Exterior

The appearance of the car has not changed too much, but still there is something new. The model has a rather specific design, but some people like it. The car has a simple raised hood, but these bumps are not very noticeable. Diamond-shaped halogen headlights are installed, and between them is a rectangular chrome grille. Pleased with the shape of the bumper of the car, which has narrow LED headlights, under which air intakes are located. The lower part is equipped with plastic protection.

The side part of the SUV surprises with very swollen wheel arches, in which 16th discs are in stock, but for an additional amount it will be possible to install 17th and 18th discs. Massive rear-view mirrors received a large turn signal repeater. There is a threshold, which is mostly decorative. Above we can see a chrome insert, and even higher a deep stamping line. On the roof there are large and frequently used rails by the owner.

The back of the Sanyeng Rexton has large halogen headlights that look good. The trunk lid is just huge, it is divided into two sections - the rear window and the entire lid. The rear bumper is small, but it has narrow reflectors and a small plastic protection. The upper part has a spoiler, on which the brake light repeater is duplicated.

The dimensions of the body have also changed:

• length - 4755 mm;
• width - 1900 mm;
• height - 1840 mm;
• wheelbase - 2835 mm;
• clearance - 206 mm.

Specifications

The model in our country is sold with 3 power units in the line, although there are only 4 of them. These units are not very powerful and therefore you should not rely on high-speed driving. This car will give you peace of mind. Let's talk about this in more detail, by the way, they are all diesel.

1. The base engine is a diesel 2-liter 16-valve turbo unit that produces 155 horsepower and 360 H * m of torque. This unit accelerates the SsangYong Rexton W 2016-2017 weighing 2700 kilograms to hundreds in 13 seconds, and the maximum speed is 173 km / h. It consumes 9 liters in the city and 6 liters on the highway - in principle, a little.
2. The second unit is a 2.7-liter inline 5-cylinder engine that has 163 horsepower and 345 H * m of torque. It also has a turbocharger and accelerates the car to hundreds in 14 seconds, the maximum speed is 170 km / h. He has more consumption - 13 liters in city mode and 8 liters on the highway.
3. The last engine is essentially a copy of the previous one, but the boost pressure has been increased and as a result, the power has increased to 186 horsepower. The dynamics are as follows - 11 seconds to hundreds and 181 km / h of maximum speed. Consumption is 11 liters in the city and 8 liters on the highway.

The units are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, but you can also install a 5-speed automatic transmission from a German manufacturer. This is a frame car that has all-wheel drive, regardless of configuration. Also, this all-wheel drive can be controlled electronically, but for the most part it is rear-wheel drive.

The suspension is not bad, in front it is completely independent and multi-link. The back part is dependent and has a beam. In some trim levels, an independent system will also be installed at the rear. At the back there is a threaded bridge with a manual center locking function. The car stops with the help of disc brakes, and the front ones have ventilation.

Sanyeng Rexton interior

The model does not have the best skin materials, but this is due to the price. The build quality isn't that great either. Fabric and plastic are mainly used, but there are also supposedly wooden inserts, but in fact it is wood-like plastic.

In front, we can observe simple fabric seats without at least some lateral support, in general, the chair will not hold you when cornering. Nevertheless, a large amount of free space will please. These seats will please with the presence of heating and electric adjustments with memory function.

Behind is a sofa for three passengers, which can easily accommodate this number of people. In the middle there is an armrest with two cupholders. There is also a third row for two people, there is not much space there, but it is ideal for children.

The driver of the Sanyeng Rexton W 2016-2017 will get a large 4-spoke steering wheel with leather sheathing, it is really big and has 10 buttons to control the audio system. The steering column is adjustable for height and reach, which is definitely a plus. The dashboard is quite simple - large analog gauges for the speedometer and tachometer and small analog gauges for fuel level and oil temperature.

The center console at the top between the air deflectors has a small clock monitor. Beneath this is a line of buttons for alarms, enabling and disabling the ESP, the descent function, and so on. Then we can see either a head unit with a large number of buttons, or it can be replaced with a small multimedia touch screen. Stylishly made climate control unit (unfortunately not separate). It is a semicircular monitor on which the temperature is displayed, after which there are buttons and two twists that are familiar to everyone. The lowest part received seat heating control washers and USB and AUX ports are also located there.

The initial part of the tunnel has two cup holders with chrome trim, after them there is a large gear selector, which also has a chrome trim. On the left is the parking brake handbrake, and after that we see the armrest. The trunk is really large, its volume is 678 liters.

Price

This car has a fairly large number of configurations with different levels of equipment. The basic version is currently 1 579 000 rubles and it has the following functions:

• heated front and rear seats;
• climate control;
• rear parking sensors;
• light sensor;
• Rain sensor;
• bluetooth;
• 4 airbags.

The most expensive version will cost the buyer 2 329 000 rubles, and will appear in it:

• power seats with memory;
• rear row heating;
• front parking sensors;
• Cruise control;
• toning;
• fog optics;
• 18 discs.

In 2017, the company decided to stop production of the crossover, so now it will not be possible to buy it new.

In general, a good SUV for such a price, it is not the best quality and far from the best. In our opinion, competitors are much better in terms of equipment and quality, but they lose a lot in cross-country ability. That is why we leave the final decision on the purchase of Sanyeng Rexton to you.

Video

Let's start, so to speak, ab ovo (for those who have forgotten Latin - from the very beginning) ... In 1993, the brand with the name SsangYong, which is very dissonant for the Russian ear, broke into the world SUV market with the Musso model. And since in those days the young Korean dragon (or rather, two whole dragons, since this is how the name is translated from Korean) had neither experience nor relevant specialists, they entrusted the design to the British Ken Greenley - a rebel, outrageous and a great original . So he piled "Rhino", that is, Musso.

Ssang Yong Musso "1995–98 for the UK market

The car really got a very original, but very ambiguous appearance. Suffice it to recall how much poison poured out on the design of Musso in the Top Gear program from the mouth of the caustic Jeremy Clarkson! But high-quality assembly and technological partnership with the Mercedes-Benz brand, which supplied the Korean company with licenses for engines and main units, allowed the model to hold out on the conveyor right up to 2005. And yet, when it came to developing a successor (and it happened much earlier, no later than 1997), SsangYong management decided not to take risks and find a design studio that would make the body in line with global trends.

Italdisign, headed by maestro Fabrizio Giugiaro, became such an atelier. So in 2001, the Ssang Yong Rexton (“Royal Voice”) was born with the factory code Y200, and in December 2005, SeverstalAvto began assembling these SUVs at the facilities of the Small Car Plant OJSC in Naberezhnye Chelny.

SsangYong Rexton (Y200)" 2001–2003

In 2006, the model underwent a restyling (factory code Y250), and in 2012 another one (code Y290). These versions were named Rexton I, Rexton II and Rexton III (or Rexton W). The most massive in Russia, of course, was the Rexton II variant: Rexton W simply did not have time to disperse widely enough.

With the onset of the crisis in 2014, sales went down sharply, and in 2015, the SsangYong brand practically curtailed its activities in our country. Nevertheless, many of these cars run on Russian roads, which were originally a development of the design of the first generation Mercedes ML.

1 / 2

2 / 2

Structurally, Rexton is a classic frame SUV, equipped with one of two 2.7-liter turbodiesels (XDi, delivering 165 hp and 340 Nm of torque, or XVT - 186 hp, 402 Nm), as well as a petrol 3 .2-liter in-line "six" (220 hp, 312 Nm). In 2012, a two-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 149 hp was added to the range of engines. (360 Nm).

But the most curious thing is that three types of transmission were provided for Rexton II, and four types of transmission for Rexton W! The car could have either a classic part-time, that is, a plug-in front axle and a BorgWarner transfer case with a reduction gear, or an automatically connected front axle (TOD, Torque-On-Demand system), or a permanent all-wheel drive without a “lower” (that is, in fact, such options were such a rare animal as a frame crossover). In addition, versions with a two-liter engine were also produced in a rear-wheel drive configuration. Accordingly, SUVs with D20DT and 2.7 XDi had a dependent rear suspension, and versions with 2.7 XVT and G32P had a multi-link independent.

Well, what are the impressions of these SUVs from their owners?

Hate #5: "Over the seas, over the waves..."

In almost all reviews on the Internet, there are complaints that the Rexton suspension is too weak and rolly. Americans like this setting, but not everyone among Russians, and on the forums you can find a couple of hundred recipes on how to “bring it to mind” and turn Rexton into something “UAZ-like”.

Those who switched to Rex from domestic SUVs react especially sharply to this softness: “If I drove Patrick along a country road, and the pits themselves ran away from it, then you have to drive slowly and carefully.”

In corners, the Rexton heels imposingly (but pretty well keeps the trajectory on straight lines), but on speed bumps, as well as serious bumps and pits, it makes it slow down to 20-30 kilometers per hour.

Plus, the chassis does not differ in special endurance. Independent suspension usually requires intervention every 60-80 thousand kilometers. Most often, replacements require anti-roll bars and silent blocks. The cars of the first years of production had another unpleasant "childhood disease": the ball bearings of the lower arms withstood a maximum of 30 thousand kilometers, and if the progenitor Mercedes ML had ball joints in the catalog as a separate part, then for Rexton they are supposed to be replaced along with the lever. As a result, the "collective people's intellect" found a way out: as it turned out, the supports can be replaced with similar ones from VW Transporter, designed for practically "cargo" operation, and such an operation turns out to be almost 30 times cheaper than that offered by official services.

Love # 5: “I gave spurs under the sides, the horse flew like an arrow ...”

Here's what's interesting: among the advantages of the Ssang Yong Rexton, the vast majority of owners also mention handling, although it would seem that a large and heavy SUV with a very soft suspension should be perceived as a complete bumpkin, humpty-dumpty, and generally tupa. And what may seem even more mysterious, the owners are echoed by picky automotive journalists!

The fact is that a certain looseness of the suspension is quite successfully stopped by successful steering settings. At low speeds, the steering wheel rotates very easily and provides a fairly small turning radius, but when accelerating, it fills with informative effort.

Let's add quite decent (for diesel cars) dynamics. True, the car “wakes up” only after gaining a speed of about 50 km / h. At the same time, as I said, Rexton is distinguished by excellent trajectory stability: a little worse for versions with dependent, and a little better for versions with independent rear suspension. “Voronezh - Krasnodar often traveled along the highway (850 km from house to house), both in winter and summer. With 1-2 stops in 9-10 hours I arrived. On the M4, which is being repaired all the time, I drive steadily at 130-150 km / h, and there is a “reserve under the slipper”.

Rexton behaves very decently even in difficult winter conditions. So the handling and even the dynamics of this car go into the piggy bank of its unequivocal pluses.

Hate #4: "Stars shine brightly, light bulbs burn brightly..."

Everyone knows that electric light bulbs glow brightest before they burn out to hell, sim ending their mortal light bulb existence. So, almost all Ssang Yong Rexton owners complain about constantly burning headlights. At the same time, the Rexton headlights are equipped with the most ordinary “halogens”, which is already perceived as a kind of anachronism for a solid car worth several tens of thousands of dollars, produced in the 21st century. Many of the owners claim that the only way to deal with this scourge is to install xenon light sources and appropriate electronic components. By the way, this is not such an expensive pleasure, and replacing light bulbs with Rexton is a rather dreary task, because it requires removing the headlight.

Love # 4: “And around the silence, taken as a basis ...”

If the owner gets acquainted with Rexton's pernicious habit of burning innocent lighting devices only during operation, then he can immediately appreciate the silence in the cabin, having taken the driver's seat for the first time. Drivers who got into a Korean SUV from the womb of our UAZ will especially highly appreciate a good “Shumka”. However, they will appreciate the “Shumka” in any car.

Hatred #3: “This is such an incomprehensible object - here it is, but it’s not there ...”

Winnie the Pooh talked about honey. As for the owners of Rexton, they often pronounce these words in relation to vacuum, or rather, to the vacuum drive of the front wheel freewheels, which were equipped with options with an automatically or forcibly connected front axle. Indeed, in order for the clutch to stop closing, the slightest violation of the tightness of the system is enough, and everything happens without any preliminary signs and a declaration of war. Only yesterday everything was fine - and boom, “you turn it on - it doesn’t work!”, As Zhvanetsky wrote.

I myself ran into this problem myself, because for seven years I owned a Ssang Yong Musso Sports pickup truck equipped with exactly the same clutches. It can be very disappointing - it seems that you are driving a quite decent and solid frame SUV, but you get stuck in a place that the driver of some Niva will not even notice.

This issue can be radically solved only by installing mechanical freewheels - for example, the AVM brand. But that means stopping, getting out of the car, putting on gloves and turning the flags on the clutches every time you turn the 4WD on or off.

However, the Rexton's cross-country ability should be assessed as very average: it has a ground clearance of only 206 mm, and the overhangs are quite large, as well as the weight. As a result, I am practically unaware of cases of turning Rexton into a military projectile for conquering abysses and swamps. Probably, it is correct - for this there are completely different, much more suitable cars. Nevertheless, many owners of the Ssang Yong Rexton, especially those who moved to it from cars, consider cross-country ability to be one of the advantages of this model. Those who have previously dealt with "professional crooks" clearly see the limits of the possible.

Love #3: "Painting, basket, cardboard..."

In any case, Rexton is not intended for extreme exploits, but for purely family use, and in this regard it is really very good. First of all, the owner will be pleased with the volume of the trunk, which is 935 liters according to VDA. And that's with the rear seats folded down! By the way, during the restyling of 2012, the designers came to the conclusion that the trunk can be reduced to 678 liters, giving space to the rear passengers.

The fifth door, of course, is quite heavy, but access to the luggage compartment can also be obtained through the opening rear window. So, in addition to “pictures, baskets, cardboard boxes”, you can also fit a small dog here. Or a St. Bernard - there would be a dog, but there would be enough space.

Hate #2: "What is not, is not there..."

The equipment of Rexton lacks many positions, the presence of which, it would seem, should be quite natural for an expensive comfortable SUV of the first decade of the 21st century. For example, as a class there is no on-board computer, and in order to estimate fuel consumption, you need to measure the mileage on a full tank and do the calculations yourself. There are no tire pressure sensors either ... There is no rear-view camera, and parking sensors appeared only after the second restyling.

Of all the electronic assistants, there is only a downhill assistance system, and some owners believe that it works extremely incorrectly.

Many automatic transmission versions do not have cruise control.

Finally, the audio system ... Its main advantage is an unusual design in the form of a CD cut in half. At the same time, the system does not support the MP3 format, does not understand RDS, lacks a touch screen and, of course, does not have navigation functions.

Love # 2: “And instead of a hertz, an Ausenboard motor, or a Teutonic song”

When people ask me: “Did you have a Ssang Yong, so how?”, I usually answer that it’s not bad in general, but the best thing that was in this car was the 2.9-liter D29DT turbodiesel, nee Mercedes OM602 . It was reliable, not too noisy, started up well in winter, was quite omnivorous, but most importantly, it had an absolutely locomotive traction and allowed it to drive in fifth gear without switching, in the range from 40 to 140 km / h.

I was especially pleased with the omnivorousness: the engine practically did not react to the quality of the fuel and absolutely calmly accepted diesel fuel drained with a bucket from the tank of a combine operating in the field.

Its successor, D27DT, which has become the main Rexton engine in the Russian market, also has a German counterpart - OM612. However, this engine belongs to a completely different generation of compression ignition units, and does not have a conventional injection pump, but an electronically controlled common rail fuel system. As a result, it is more powerful, quieter, more elastic, more economical, more powerful than its predecessor. It is thanks to the excellent performance of the engines (not only the diesel D27DT and D20DT deserve praise, but also the gasoline G32T) that Rexton has earned all the pluses for dynamics and comfort. And all these engines have Teutonic roots and quite decent reliability, and efficiency does not cause any particular complaints.

Most of the authors of reviews on the Internet claim that in urban traffic jams, fuel consumption is about 12-13 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km, and on the highway it drops to 8-9. In any case, a 68-liter tank is enough for 700-800 km. The owners of diesel cars with mechanics testify: traction on the bottoms quite allows, without switching, to use fifth gear in the range from 50 to 150 km / h, and in the city to drive in the “second-fifth” mode.

As for the G32T, it, as befits a gasoline V6, is significantly more voracious, but its appetite does not fall outside the acceptable range and is about 14-16 liters in the city and 10-12 on the highway. But there is no need to talk about the former omnivorousness of diesel engines ...

Low-quality diesel fuel is exactly the factor that can lead to significant problems, primarily related to the malfunction of injectors. In especially severe cases, it is necessary to change the entire fuel system, including the fuel tank.

Hate #1: "I was looking for you, I looked in all the stores..."

It is no coincidence that Rexton owners pay great attention to the search for a wide variety of analogues for parts, assemblies and assemblies of their cars, because in almost every review there is a complaint about prices, availability, delivery times and the difficulty of finding originals. The matter is further complicated by the discrepancy between the Russian and Korean catalogs, which is why even VIN does not always help to buy what you want, and not what happens.

Separate bouts of anger in many Rexton owners are caused by the work of dealer services. Most often they are characterized by two words: expensive and bad.

Love #1: "Pleasant in every way"

Be that as it may, the owners consider the comfort provided by them to be the fundamental advantage of the Ssang Yong Rexton. And we are talking about the comfort of the cabin, and driving comfort.

Yes, Rexton is by no means a driver's car, and it is precisely for the reason that it literally separates both the driver and passengers from the road conditions. But it is precisely this quality that many appreciate in premium SUVs, and here you get it in full, and for very modest money...

SsangYong Rexton - more like love or more like hate?

In 2001, the official presentation of the South Korean car Ssangyong Rexton took place. Reviews from car owners and many experts indicate that it boasts fairly good technical characteristics, a high level of comfort, and is also relatively inexpensive in comparison with other representatives of its segment.

First generation

Production of the debut generation of cars lasted from 2001 to 2006. The Mercedes-Benz M-Class platform was taken as the basis for the creation of the Ssangyong Rexton model. Photos of the two cars are another confirmation of how similar they look. The first generation of the car was equipped with three options for power plants (3.2-liter gasoline engine, as well as diesel engines of 2.7 and 2.9 liters). It should be noted that the South Korean manufacturer assembled them on the basis of a license received from Mercedes-Benz. In 2003, the novelty debuted on the European market.

Second generation

Numerous positive reviews about the Ssangyong Rexton from users from different countries and corners of the world contributed to the fact that in 2006 the second generation of the model was launched on the conveyor. The technical equipment of the car compared to its predecessor remained the same, and the main changes affected only the interior and exterior. Despite the fact that the manufacturer positioned this car as a crossover (and not an SUV, as many Russians think), the developers installed a long-travel suspension and large wheels on it. This allowed to significantly improve its performance. In general, experts consider the car quite ergonomic and easy to drive.

The main significant remark to the model is related to the availability of spare parts. The fact is that it is very problematic to find the necessary part or assembly on the market. In this regard, they usually have to be ordered from suppliers, after which you have to wait a long time for delivery. The only alternative in this situation is the disassembly of the Ssangyong Rexton. At the same time, such places in our country are only in large metropolitan areas.

Third generation: general description

In May 2012, during the exhibition in the South Korean city of Busan, a presentation of the third generation of the model took place. The designers embodied in the novelty not only the performance, but also the dynamism of modern SUVs. In the same year, the manufacturer presented the car at a motor show in Moscow. The model is supplied to the European market with the marking "W". The developers have significantly updated This is especially true for the front of the Ssangyong Rexton. specific car depends on the configuration. At the request of buyers, even options with a seven-seat interior layout are available.

Appearance

The exterior of the novelty is another confirmation that it is great for people who appreciate the unique style and swiftness of the car. Particularly striking are the expressive front optics, as well as massive chrome. All lines in the outline can be called original and complete. This is not surprising, given the fact on the basis of which car the South Korean designers created this model. In general, the exterior of the car is both masculine, stylish and well thought out to the smallest detail.

Salon

A functional and comfortable interior is considered one of the main advantages of the latest version of Ssangyong Rexton. Feedback from car owners indicates that it boasts a very ergonomic and comfortable driver's seat. The developers have achieved this largely by transferring the main control buttons to the steering wheel. In the interior decoration used materials of fairly high quality. As a result, when inside, people usually get the impression that they are traveling in a premium car. The center console and instrument panel are concise, simple and convenient, so the driver receives all the necessary information without being distracted from driving.

It should be noted the presence of numerous niches and pockets inside, which did not affect the amount of free space in the car. The climate control system allows you not only to set the desired temperature, but also protects against the penetration of foreign odors. The comfort inside the car is also enhanced by many other little things.

Power plants

The designers provided three options for diesel engines for the Ssangyong Rexton. The technical characteristics of the base unit, the volume of which is 2.0 liters, make it one of the most advanced in its class. Its maximum power is 155 horsepower. Distinctive features of the engine are high traction performance in all speed ranges, as well as a very low noise level. The next two units have a volume of 2.7 liters. One of them is equipped with a very efficient turbocharger and is capable of developing 165 “horses”. In the second version of the engine, a mechanical supercharger is additionally used, which increases the output to 186 horsepower.

In general, the latest generation Ssangyong Rexton power plants are very efficient. All three of them respond quickly to the gas pedal and provide excellent traction in most driving conditions. At the same time, one cannot fail to note also their unpretentiousness and reliability.

Transmission

An adaptive five-speed automatic transmission is standard on the model. For lovers of dynamic driving, there is the possibility of switching to manual mode. The transmission is equipped with a built-in intelligence system, the main purpose of which is to automatically select the optimal gear shift point. This, in turn, allows not only to make the Ssangyong Rexton ride softer, but also to optimize the amount of fuel consumption. It should also be noted a special winter mode, which facilitates control on slippery roads, as well as starting from a standstill in difficult meteorological conditions. In addition to the “automatic”, a six-speed manual box is also offered on the domestic market. Its advantage is reliability and the ability to implement all the abilities of power plants.

Safety

Separate words deserve safety features in the new Ssangyong Rexton. A high degree of active protection is achieved through the use of a number of various systems. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) allows you to make the machine control stable in almost any driving situation. It should be noted that adjustments to the operation of the motor and brakes are made automatically, depending on a particular situation. In combination with it, there is a system for preventing the machine from tipping over and blocking the wheels. Pressing the appropriate pedal sharply activates the emergency brake booster. During the slopes, safety is ensured by the self-adjustment of the braking force and traction by the car.

At a high level and the degree of passive protection of people in the Ssangyong Rexton cabin. First of all, it is provided by the body structure, which is designed in such a way that in the event of a collision, the impact force is evenly distributed over the entire surface and is damped by its elements. Thanks to a strong frame with spars, the overall stability of the car to mechanical damage is ensured. Steel ribs are installed on the doors. Airbags are provided in front, but they only work when a person is fixed with a belt.

Four-wheel drive

The Ssangyong Rexton model boasts a system that works efficiently and copes with the tasks assigned to it in combination with all three power plant options. The system allows, when driving under load, to distribute the torque between both axles evenly. A feature of all-wheel drive vehicles of this modification with more powerful engines is that the amount of torque that is transmitted to the front axle changes automatically, and its maximum rate is 50%. The optimal distribution of efforts is carried out on the basis of algorithms that evaluate the degree of slippage.

Summing up, it should be noted that in the salons of domestic dealers, the cost of a car starts at 1.579 million rubles. In this case, we are talking about a complete set without all-wheel drive and with a manual gearbox. Thus, we can safely call the model the best option for those people who want to buy an SUV, but cannot afford a car from a more eminent brand. At the same time, one should not forget the fact that the not so high prestige of the model is compensated by reliability, excellent driving performance, versatility, as well as a high level of comfort and safety. The only significant drawback of a car, many of its owners and experts call a poorly developed service network. Since some spare parts and assemblies are sometimes very difficult to find or you have to wait a long time for delivery from official dealers, Ssangyong Rexton repair often becomes a big problem.
