SsangYong Rexton Review

SsangYong Rexton

How It Looks - Interior

Apart from the dreadful fake wood trim we found the SsangYong Rexton interior to be quite tasteful and well trimmed. We would prefer to see metallic trim as a no cost option.

The standard black leather seats were tastefully embossed with the Rexton logo and would not have been out of place in a more expensive 4x4.

In Car Entertainment and Satellite Navigation

Our test car was fitted with a face off Clarion aftermarket single slot CD player with radio - the sound quality was OK. You can of course always replace this system with one of your own choice.

What We Liked

• The engine and gearbox

What We Disliked

• The fake wood trim - please SsangYong this is not to the majority of UK buyer’s taste and we do not consider it ‘classy’
• The aftermarket immobiliser which needed priming every time you left the car for a few minutes

What We'd Like To See

• An improved ride quality
• Parking sensors as standard
