Would this seven-seater work for your large family?

I just took delivery of an Ultimate model last week for business and personal use (towing a horse float). It has a 3500kg tow capacity (with tow bar and electric brakes fitted) and handled towing a double angle-load horse float last weekend with ease. Loving this car so far! So much luxury for the price! (I gave up on Jeep releasing a new model of the Grand Cherokee, which was my last tow vehicle).

Not bad. Ssangyong's line up is getting top notch. That Rexton will give other SUVs a run for their money.

[Hope]

It does have 3rd row airbags by the way 👍

[tonys]

Looks like the 3rd Korean brand might just give the others a run for the money this time.

Well it would make more sense to review the entry model than the loaded one

[gregburville]

Your reviews are getting much better lately. I guess you'll be invited to the weekly Tools In The Shed soon.

Great review, you should do a review of the 2022 model.

A "proper 4WD" yet not mentioning anything which makes this the case...? WHAT makes it a proper 4WD? Driving modes? Diff lock? Clearance? I fail to see how other than the 4WD badge stuck on.
Also, no mention of that weird floor gap in the back above the boot lip, or what, if any, spare tyre there is, or showing how the 2nd row seats fold down? This review could be a few minutes longer at least.

You didn't touch on whether the back air vents run hot and cold air and whether there are other drink holder options for drink holder in back seats if using all back seats.

In india Mahindra Motor Launched it's called Alturas G4
Alturas G4 look more Expensive and Nice refined then this one

[lakesbiker]

Got the older rexton W. Test driven the new one. Very nice cabin though the 19"rims cause the ride quality to drop a little (UK roads though!)

"Just look at the room between my knees" @ 2:11 loool! Yes Childish I know but it tickled me in a "Oo'er Missus" kinda way!!!
7 seater is way to big though.

Is it viable to add a 2.0 in. suspension lift in the new Rexton 4WD version & (+0) upsize tyre for extensive off road use???

[titakristengco]

Much like it Utes Counterpart the Musso

Hi there! Could you show how the car seats fit in the 2nd row side-by -side??
We ‘re searching for a 7seat SUV that can be used with 3 little kids (all of them are under 4 years)
If we buy a booster, we also need an infant car seat (0-I), a car seat of the next kategory (0/I/II) and the booster.
Is this 2 nd row roomy enough for 3 child seats???

[noamzacks]

I think the previous model Rexton looks much better

[noamzacks]

It's a shame they don't have a petrol version(in early 2000s they had the 3.2litre v6 from Mercedes

[amrashraf]

Which is more solid and durable
This rexton or the new kia sorento ?

[thomasyouil]

Yo wtf, there was no mention if your mysterious 185cm husband can fit in the car.
