I finally have bought a white Rexton ELX in Australia. Thanks again for your review since it helped a lot. I can't be happier. It is such an underrated SUV, which outperforms those twice as expensive. My brother also has bought a black Ultimate in South Korea and is extremely happy.

Another great vid people! I have the exact same tow hitch on my new ve-hicle.
And Jules FYI, 80 grit emerycloth, and finish off with 600 wet & dry ( dry only).
Wash it off with brake cleaner.
One down, one to go now, bet your chomping at the bit.
All the best
Dave

Hello just a small point, you mention that the 'Lane Departure' helps prevent you from wandering out of your lane on the motorway and that if you do without indicating, then you will feel resistance from the steering wheel as it tries to prevent you from doing so. This is NOT the case the Lane Departure is a warning that sounds an alarm. The system does NOT physically prevent the steering wheel from moving. See section 4, page 132 of the driver's manual. If you think about it it would be very dangerous for the steering to prevent you from moving lanes. If a vehicle in front shed part of its load and you needed to quickly swerve out of the way you wouldn't have time to think about indicating first and IF the Lane Departure prevented you from doing so you may hit the obstruction!

Thanks for the information

A beautiful car. Beats Range Rover on price . A lot of thought has gone into it. Fantastic buy. Worth every penny.

If you have a hitch stabiliser you will need to get the paint removed from the tow ball. We were charged a small amount for having the fitters do it with a machine. Hope this makes sense but the paint prevents the stabiliser from working properly.

Car looks great, you must be really excited. I've never seen a mains socket in the back of a car before!

[hettysmotorhomeadventures]

Lovely car, don't forget you will need to take the paint off the towball before you hitch up. Just need an Adria now 👍

Good review & look around, really nice car, thanks guys 👍🏼.
To keep within my B licence requirements we bought the 2.0ltr 2wd Korando for towing, & it’s a great tow car for the money. If I decide to upgrade to a B & E license I’d definitely consider the Rexton.

Very nice guys 👍🏻. I’ll keep a eye open for u around Lancashire with that number plate 😎. Remember jools to clean the paint of the toeball before u hook the new van on

[CaravanningwiththeCoxs]

Love the number plate looks nice with lots of toys!

[soarinfan]

is there anything better than a new car ! :)

[NorthernExplorers]

Great review guys, I must admit haven't seen this model before and it looks lovely.

Hi Karina, would you recommend the Rexton? We were looking at the Amarok last night and the Defender but your Rexton review has got us thinking.

Hi guys ... after your first season towing and living with the Rexton, how about an update .

Is it all you expected ? More than or less?
Would be interested to hear - I went for a test drive in an ELX on Sunday after seeing them at the Manchester show and watching your vlog. I tow with a Toyota RAV4 at the mo.

( I even showed the dealer your review!)

Enjoy all your videos - look forward to more 👍🏻

Howard

I see you have a firm hand on your towbar 😀 lock and load ? Are you sure ( that’s what us southerners say ) nice motor, hope you enjoy

[graemeroberts]

As a late subscriber we are not sure If you still monitor this vlog. We are looking to possibly change from X trail 2 litre in the next 6 months. I have started my research already. Looked at your review and Andrew Ditton’s.
Are you still major you now go up to an Ultimate or change car completely?

[joslin]

Hi, I was thinking about possibly buying a Rexton. What MPG do you get from it when solo and towing in real world driving?, not really after best mpg but what you avarage in both senarios. :-)

[lostweekendscaravan]

Hope you really enjoy your new car. Just off to do a drive off. LOL

Nice review 👍. Can I ask, you mentioned about using it in 4x4 high range on the road when towing. I was under the impression that unless the transfer box has a centre differential then you will wind the transmission up and break something using it in 4x4 on tarmac. Maybe worth checking with ssangyong.
