The AA Car Review (May 2004)
SsangYong Rexton 270 Xdi
SsangYong may not be the most familiar manufacturer to British motorists, but thanks to the Rexton, the South Korean company is sure to get noticed – not least because this 4 x 4 is one of the most imposing vehicles on our roads. The Rexton isn’t just for
show though. Explore what lies beneath the hulking exterior and some pleasant surprises await.
…the Rexton offers an awful lot of metal for the money… this is a very capable conveyance particularly suited to towing duties. Indeed anyone who owns a horsebox, caravan or boat trailer is at the top of SsangYong’s list of potential buyers.
…how many other off-roaders boast a full leather interior, climate control with air purifier and 16-inch alloy wheels even on entry-level models yet look down on BMW X5 – in physical terms at least.
