Information on repair and maintenance of SsangYong Rexton cars electronically
The experience of the Korean company Ssang Yong, more than 50 years in the production of all-wheel drive vehicles, is embodied in the SsangYong Rexton SUV. This car combines the best developments from around the world: design by the Italian studio Italdesign, reliable licensed equipment from Mercedes-Benz and an all-wheel drive system from the British company Borg Warner.
The first SsangYong Rexton was released in the summer of 2001, introducing itself to the world as an all-wheel drive SUV with three licensed engines from Mercedes-Benz. The 3.2-liter petrol engine produced an impressive 220 horsepower, while a pair of 2.7 and 2.9-liter diesel engines provided 164 and 120 horsepower respectively.
In the summer of 2003, SsangYong Rexton was introduced to the European market. Its solid spar-type frame, permanent rear-wheel drive with the possibility of forced or automatic connection of the front axle make this car unique.
The SUV easily maneuvers on city streets and successfully copes with off-road conditions. Its appearance combines the strength and power of an SUV with the elegant and streamlined contours of a city car.
Everything from the cutting-edge headlights and chrome side trim, to the sculpted grille and stylish silver luggage racks, demonstrates an innovative take on vehicle design that combines aesthetics and practicality in every detail. The use of high-quality finishing materials and careful ergonomics down to the smallest detail create a feeling of true comfort.
Although the new model is presented as the second generation of SsangYong Rexton and entered the European market in the summer of 2006 (in South Korea - March 28, 2006), it is actually a deep modernization of the previous version.
In the summer of 2012, the second generation of the SUV underwent a second modernization and received a new name - SsangYong Rexton W, sometimes mistakenly called the third generation of the model.
The basic equipment of the SsangYong Rexton W includes a multifunction steering wheel with power steering, alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors, heated seats, climate control system, navigation system, anti-lock braking system, two airbags, traction control system, remote locking system, rear view camera, Bluetooth connection and security alarm system.
At the Seoul Motor Show on March 30, 2017, the SsangYong Rexton G4 debuted, representing the third generation of the Rexton model. The new generation SsangYong Rexton received an upgraded Quad Frame ladder type, double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. The power unit is protected by massive protection, and there is space for a spare wheel under the bottom.
The main competitors of the SsangYong Rexton are the Toyota Fortuner, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and the Chinese Foton Sauvana. A distinctive feature of the Korean SUV is its independent rear suspension instead of a solid axle.
In August 2017, a seven-seater version of the car was presented; in October 2020, SsangYong introduced an updated version of the Rexton (Y450), which made significant changes to the design of the car. The second update led to an increase in the size of the radiator grille, the addition of a massive chrome trim and a change in the brand logo. The model also features new LED headlights in a Volvo-inspired T-pattern, as well as updated bumpers and taillights.
