Ssangyong Rexton Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers
Practical, capable, comfortable and exceptional value for money – it’s the Rexton from South Korean 4x4 experts Ssangyong.
Ssangyong proudly boasts that it’s “specialists with over 65 years of 4-wheel drive experience” and the Rexton is the South Korean manufacturer’s top of the range SUV. With its selectable all-wheel drive system, the Rexton is serious about its capabilities and has the potential to go about as far off-road as you’d like to.
As we know, car names often mean something catchy or interesting. The Rexton name has been around since 2001 and means something along the lines of ‘Royal Style’. Ssangyong, however, is a budget brand, so it’s unlikely you’ll see any actual Royals within it. It is Ssangyong’s flagship vehicle though and it offers an awful lot for not much money, making it attractive to anyone looking for off-road capability and comfort in an affordable package.
Over the last few years the Rexton has found a lot of homes with people involved in farming and its rugged ladder-frame chassis construction and switchable low-range all-wheel drive make it ideal for scaling challenging terrains – even on road tyres. Power comes from a 2.2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine producing around 178bhp and 420Nm of torque. A 6-speed manual gearbox is the standard transmission, though a Mercedes-derived 7-speed automatic is available as an option. CO2 emissions vary between 204 and 218g/km, making this a more expensive business lease vehicle and with mpg fuel efficiency figures just into the 30’s, it isn’t going to break any records for efficiency. However, a lot of off-road vehicles produce statistics of a similar nature.
The Rexton is available in 5 or 7-seater versions, so Synergy customers seeking extra space for children will be able to get some, and the boot space varies from 649 to 1,806-litres meaning there’s lots of scope for carrying items too. With a strong selection of standard equipment and higher-end trim levels for extra luxuries and gadgets, the Ssangyong Rexton caters for quite a broad customer base too.
A dependable and strong SUV with good levels of space for passengers and goods, a strong line-up of standard equipment and serious off-road capability, the Ssangyong Rexton is a great choice for those working in challenging environments or who want authenticity with their SUV style at an attractive price.
