Ssangyong Rexton test drive since 2006 SUV
Is it worth looking at Ssangyong Rexton

We will immediately call the cost of Rexton $ 29,990 for the simplest version with a 2.3 liter gasoline engine. (140 hp) and without air conditioning. Believe me, this is a very good price for such a large and quite high -quality SUV. However, we came across one of the coolest Rexton modifications with a leather salon, a 2.7 -liter diesel engine. (165 hp) and automatic transmission. According to sellers, such a car for $ 39,990 is bought almost more often than available basic versions.
But a rather low Rexton price has its opposite side so that they don’t say that Ssangyong brand is far from the most eminent brand. And if in the class of inexpensive cars up to $ 15 thousand. Prestige is not so important (although even here it is of great importance), then many customers of the car at a price of $ 30-40 thousand. I would like to have not just a large, but also a cool car, so as not to explain it, so as not to explain In his party, why did the Korean suddenly bought it, not Toyota or Mitsubishi. And do not say that such thoughts arise only in some morons or notorious losers. The desire to have not just a car, but a prestigious car is completely normal. So these same show -offs Ssangyong, of course, are not enough. Although in fairness it is worth saying now Korean cars are already perceived quite normally. But if for someone a show-off is really more expensive than money, then you can not even look at Rexton.
Why do we need a plastic tree?

In the back seat and in the trunk, the place is enough for everyone if the rear seats are folded, then there is generally an elephant of medium sizes. It was also pleased that the rear row passengers have the opportunity to adjust the angle of tilt of the back of the seats. It is only a pity that in Russia they have not yet collected Rexton with the third number of seats in Korea, such cars have been selling for a long time. Agree, the 7-seater Rexton would look much more attractive.
The main trump card
Under the hood of Ssangyong Rexton hides one of its main advantages. They are made in Korea, but, attention, according to the license and under the control of Mercedes-Benz specialists. And all the motors of this Korean were installed on the Mercedes M-class that was removed from production last year.

In addition, Diesel also liked the fact that the noise of his work is not at all annoying! Of course, diesel hiding is breaking into the salon, then there is no such feeling that you are sitting in some old truck. Believe me, some more eminent and expensive SUVs Diesel works louder!
Drive at speeds over 120-140 km/h and I do not want to. Still, it is worth recognizing that Rexton was not created for fast driving, especially on winding turns. If you drive it into such situations, then the car begins to behave in the best way, and the driver has no idea what wheels are doing now. But REXTON has something to object to this reproach - the ESP contrasting system includes the machine, which is combined with the ARP overturning system. So if the Rexton does not allow you to fuck (or rather to do this scary), then for safety it is responsible, that is why we strongly advise you to never turn off ESP, even though such a function is provided here.

But what Ssangyong Rexton is like a SUV we could not fully test the SUV. The fact is that this car does not have mechanical locks of differentials, and there is no particular confidence in electronics. Although on the tested machine there was a low transmission that it seemed not enough to ensure that flattery in unknown depths. By the way, in the basic configuration, the car drive is rear, and the front must be connected manually in more expensive versions of the front axle is turned on automatically (and does it with a slight delay).
You will have to add a lot

If you take into account the simple Rexton modifications, which will cost about $ 30-32.5 thousand per car with air conditioning and with a 2.3-liter gasoline engine, it turns out that about the same is the other Korean SUVs in simple trim levels, which Less Rexton in size! Therefore, Ssangyong Rexton deserves a positive assessment. And if you want to buy an SUV for $ 30-40 thousand. Then we highly recommend visiting the Ssangyong dealer.
God forbid, no one says that Ssangyong Rexton is the best car for his money. Not in any way! Many having $ 30-40 thousand will prefer to take a used Lexus RX300 or Toyota Land Cruiser 100. And perhaps they will do the right thing. But if we are talking about new relatively inexpensive SUVs, then Rexton looks very good.
Perhaps he still lacks a cheap credit program for 5% per annum for 5-7 years. And if Severstal-Avo is not greedy and comes up with something like that, then Ssangyong sales will go.
