Upgraded but still affordable! (Ssangyong Rexton 2024 review)

The Ssangyong Rexton is one of the most affordable new 4WD wagons you can buy in Australia and it’s just come in for an upgrade which brings the interior into the modern age.

Now boasting a huge 12.3-inch touchscreen and a slew of other small but meaningful changes to the interior, the Rexton aims to build on its other key features like its 3.5-tonne towing capacity and seven-seat flexibility to grab attention away from its key rivals.

These include traditional offerings like the Isuzu MU-X but also cheaper rivals like the GWM Tank 300 and seven-seat Tank 500.

But with an untested safety package and aging bones, can the updated Rexton compete with the best in this segment? Production specialist Tom Place investigates.
