It's a high quality & very decent but underrated vehicle here. Great 7 yr warranty & reasonable capped price servicing should put people at ease . Ssangyong deserve to do well.
We have just bought one, there are 3 grades including the black edition. Not sure what rough ride means I have tested both normal suspension setup and ironman setup and they are both smooth. also no rattles from any parts of the car unlike the new ranger/everest which is 30k more. The rexton was not our first choice, but after sitting and driving it was clearly the winner and the price point sealed the deal. I had ordered a MUX but the wait for that car is rediculous, the interior in the isuzu is far less inferior. Really happy with the rexton. Not sure what she also means about the steering wheel being to close, maybe use the tilt and reach adjustment :) the Curtain airbags extend to the 3rd row for mine so not sure what shes going on about there.
I really feel that many car reviewer who put Ssangyong Rexton are very bias to whatever else, when in reality, this car is really great. Even the comfortability is far more better than a Toyota Fortuner. They themselves, Carsguide, were the ones comparing SUV's against each other.
Now that Ssangyong is out of financial difficulties, this is a no brainer purchase. It is incredible value. The upcoming Torres is also brilliant vehicle, complete with an Asian 6 speed torque converter auto. Why buy Chinese when you can buy a budget priced Korean that offers better more reliable drivetrains.
I have a Triton ute. Now that has a rough ride. I also have a Rexton and the ride is beautiful compared to the ute. Both have body on rail chassis so are comparable. Truck like? In comparison to what, other 4wds or 2 door hatches?
This review is a bit misleading. The ride is absolutely great on the 18" rims with the recommended tyre pressure for a car this size and price. If you're comparing it with a BMW 5-7 series or a $100000 Land Cruiser, sure, it could be better. Regarding the airbags, they go all over the 3rd row too. And the most important things about this car are that it is extremely safe due to its construction, it has a proper 4x4 with 4H and 4L, which means that you could actually do serious off-road with it. The only drawback is the rather small front/back angles, which are 20,5°. Also, it is a spectacular vehicle for towing. All in all, if you want a big vehicle that can carry everything and get you everywhere in a pretty comfy environment, this car is an absolute steal at this price. Nothing even comes close to it.
Seems to be an agenda with this review! The steering wheel is not huge, the Rexton is ridiculously quiet, so I don’t know how it sounds mean and handles like a truck or a truck like experience…Seriously? This is more car like than any other in its category. 4/10 for the review!
Better value for money. Not alternative for Everest. Ultimate awesome vehicle. Didn't understand your comments on ride. Have found them very comfortable .Wow test the Ultimate?
My sister got one just on 9 months ago…it’s not my type of thing but it’s been brilliant for her. Yup the qaulity ain’t Everest level, but it’s not Everest money either
Ive got an older Ssaanyong ute I inherited from a family member that used it hard. Its solidly built (215Kms). The availability of parts and specialist knowledge is the only gripe I have - Im handy and I knew what i was getting myself into, and I have been pleasantly suprised.
I couldn't watch this lady waffle on in her so called 'review' any longer than 2.23 minutes. My intuition tells me that this car is a pretty good option for me. I live out of town, in the bush, down a dirt track and with a creek crossing to get home. So the availability of a snorkel would be something I'd need to investigate. The comments on here very much support the Reston, which is always a good thing. I like the 3.5 ton towing and the torquey motor. But would it be a suitable replacement for my Pajero? More investigation required, me thinks.
They all ride like a truck with the 44 psi tyre pressure from the factory for shipping. She is not the first reviewing this without deflating to 34 psi and getting the plush ride us owners know about.
This is all incorrect information she is pouring out in this review. I can’t quite understand why some of these people hold such a strong bias against these fantastic vehicles . I stopped listening to chasing cars for the same reason . Seems like Paul Meric from auto expert is the only real deal there. Rexten is way better than Everest and fortuner. No issues with ride quality or suspension or rattles none of it
About time review of this truck is Ok to good Ford, Mazda, Toyota, Isuzu.Have to look at your completely over the top price gouging. I would buy one of these so you start to listen to the consumer's How you justify your prices is beyond me . How do you justify the cost between base model and so called top spec Another one charging hundreds of dollars for so called Prestiage paint. Son spray painter has said can not understand why.

Apparently the new Torres is selling up a storm, they are putting on more shifts at the factory to meet demand. I hope they do well too :)

Agree. To me it’s a great car with a great suspension
Also proud Rexton owner, drove only 800km so far, but I love it so much.=)
Cmon Carsguide the Rexton is an excellent car and has a smooth ride. Sounds like you might be on the plagued Everest bandwagon
Yes! I guess Ssangyong didn't agree to their request for commission.
Because of the whole " developed in Australia " bias when it comes to Ranger and Everest 😅

Just drove one...I completely disagree with your description of how it drives... it drives very smoothly and handles bumps and undulations perfectly.

Well said, 100% agree. Considering what else you can get for 50k. Nothing comes close. Had ours a month and we love it.
The reviewers comment about the park brake - put the seat belt on first before taking it out of park, stops it from going back into park.
Appreciate your honesty about the faults with the car which you could have easily not brought up.

dont no what planet she,s on
Ssangyong is not paying them for the review.... This is literally the best SUV for it's price.

I.own a black edition..great car.
You didn’t mention that it is one of if not the quietest vehicle in its class, why? Not a good review at all!
My sister got one just on 9 months ago…it’s not my type of thing but it’s been brilliant for her. Yup the qaulity ain’t Everest level, but it’s not Everest money either
Yeh but it's available now no need to wait 12 months probably be more reliable than the Everest

@@Rally4Life1982 deadly serious he is. The new Everest is plagued with issues. Fords are nothing special.
First comment!!!!!!! Looks good

The alturas G4 🔥
Push the brake and the transmission goes into park easily.
Not the must accurate review. To me this vehicle is very comfortable to drive and great value for money
Thanks
Nice car 👍
Wait..
That is Mahindra alturas G4
good!!!!

It is a large body to move around, so credit where credit is due.
The presenter sounds like, and looks like, actor rebel Wilson. LOL
Why have you got this woman to waffle nonsense instead of an actual reviewer?

Ya ok hero
The Rexton is not cheap car! 43 000 euro is expensive car...
You can pay more than 30,000 Euros for a spec’d up super mini - it’s a cheap car for the size and specification!
👍👍💔💔
Muy caro
Tu pobre, anda de bicicleta.
Chinese made poor quality 😊
Dude it's a Korean car
Indo made poor instant noodles
Korean, great quality.
This is not Chinese made nor Jap crap. It is the most reliable Korean made, mate!
