Rexton w reviews. New SsangYong Rexton - reliability, comfort and style

For those who are looking for power, swiftness and originality of style, Korean engineers have created the SsangYong Rexton SUV. A courageous, individual, but at the same time attractive car has a lot of advantages and is able to become both a family car for work and leisure trips, and a representative member of a business family. Convenience, comfort and high cross-country ability are indispensable attributes of the model.

The stylish and thoughtful design of the SsangYong Rexton catches the eye on city roads. A courageous and dynamic SUV stands out from the stream with its originality and originality of lines. Strict, and at the same time, the impulsive character of the car is emphasized by expressive front optics.

Interior

In the interior of the SsangYong Rexton SUV, everything is subordinated to functionality and comfort, while the engineers managed to create the most ergonomic driving position. As an additional option for the car, a third row of seats is offered, which will make a long journey with a large company pleasant and memorable.

Through the use of high-quality finishing materials and modern design solutions, the SsangYong Rexton salon managed to create an exquisite interior with a claim to real luxury. The center console turned out to be both simple and concise, while attractive. This was achieved by moving most of the control buttons to the multifunctional steering wheel. In the style of maximum convenience, the dashboard is also made, providing the driver with full access to information without distraction from driving.

Additional convenience is provided by a large number of niches and pockets that allow you to place a large number of small things necessary on the road. However, they do not affect the amount of free space in the cabin. The air conditioning system used not only maintains the set temperature in the cabin, but also provides protection against the penetration of smoke, burning and foreign odors, keeping the air clean.

The cabin provides a large number of little things that increase comfort. For example, the driver's seat, when the key is pulled out of the lock, moves back on its own, making it easier to get out of the car, and when the key is inserted, it drives closer. All this is complemented by a built-in memory system that remembers the position of seats and mirrors for each specific driver. The integrated USB connector allows you to play music in MP3 format.

Safety

The SsangYong Rexton car offers a caring attitude to human safety, and has a comprehensive system of active and passive protection.

Active safety

SsangYong Rexton offers its owners not only an attractive appearance and comfort in the cabin, but also a high degree of safety, which is achieved, among other things, through the use of a large number of active systems. At the heart of everything is the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which ensures stable control of the car in any situation, while the system independently makes adjustments to the actions of the brakes and the engine in order to maintain stability on the road. Together with the ESP system, anti-slip and anti-lock braking systems, as well as a vehicle rollover warning system, operate in conjunction. The effectiveness of the brakes is ensured by the use of an emergency brake booster, which is activated when the pedal is pressed sharply “to the stop”.

The safety of the car has also been improved when driving on slopes, where the electronics independently regulate the brake forces and the size of the engine thrust, ensuring a smooth descent with a significant inclination of the roadway. It also provides for blocking the doors in motion, which will not allow children to open the door on the move.

Passive safety

The body of the SUV is designed in such a way that the impact force in a collision is distributed over a large surface and damped by structural elements, providing greater protection to people in the cabin. The presence of a strong frame with spars increases the overall resistance of the structure to mechanical damage, and at the same time increases the service life of the machine. Steel stiffening ribs are also provided in the doors, which helps to avoid serious damage during side impacts. Additional protection on the front seats is provided by front and side airbags, which work in tandem with belt tensioners that securely fix the person before the airbag deploys. The system provides that during the process of opening the airbag, the pretensioners are released, releasing some of the energy and ensuring that there is no excess pressure after the impact.

Engine

The SsangYong Rexton SUV is offered to customers with three diesel engine options. The base version has a 2.0XDi engine, which, due to turbocharging, provides 155 horsepower. According to its characteristics, the motor is one of the most advanced in the world. Its distinguishing features are minimal noise during operation and high traction characteristics, achieved in almost the entire rev range.

Those wishing to purchase a car more powerful, prepared a 2.7-liter diesel engine, made in versions 2.7XDi and 2.7XV. In the first case, the engine is equipped with an efficient turbocharger and produces 165 horsepower, and in the second case, a mechanical supercharger is also used, which makes it possible to increase output up to 186 forces with a maximum torque of up to 402 Nm. The use of modern technologies has made it possible to create efficient units with a high response rate to gas supply, providing maximum thrust output performance in most operating modes. All this is combined with excellent indicators of reliability and unpretentiousness.

Transmission

The main transmission of the SsangYong Rexton SUV is an adaptive five-speed automatic transmission T-Tronic, offering lovers of a dynamic driving style to take advantage of the ability to shift gears in manual mode. The built-in intelligence system of the transmission is able to choose the optimal moment for changing gears, which not only makes the ride smoother and softer, but also optimizes the process of fuel consumption. Implemented in the transmission and a special mode "Winter", which provides a better start from a standstill when driving on a slippery surface.

Available for the car and manual transmission with six speeds. Such a transmission provides high clarity of operation, reliability and ease of handling, allowing you to realize all the possibilities of power units.

All-wheel drive system

Depending on the engine used, SsangYong Rexton SUVs also differ in the use of an all-wheel drive system, but in all versions it confidently copes with the tasks assigned to it.

Together with the base 2.0XDi engine, a Part-time 4WD system is used to connect a second axle if necessary. Such a system provides for the transmission of torque to both axles only when the machine is moving under load. The rest of the time, the car uses only the drive to the rear axle, which ensures a reduction in fuel consumption. When all-wheel drive is working, the torque is distributed evenly between the axles.

There are three modes of operation in total:

• Rear wheel drive (2WD) is used under normal conditions on good roads.
• Four-wheel drive (4WD High) is used on wet or “frozen” roads, as well as off-road.
• Four-wheel drive (4WD Low) is used on very rough terrain and involves the use of low gears.

The power unit of the 2.7XDi model also has all-wheel drive with connection, but the change in torque distribution is made automatically without the participation of the driver. The Torque On Demand system also provides three options for the operation of the drive, while the choice of the desired mode is carried out using a special switch. A feature of this option is the change in the value of the moment transmitted to the front axle in automatic mode. As much as 50% of the total moment can be directed to it. The choice of the optimal distribution of forces is made on the basis of algorithms that evaluate the degree of wheel slip during movement.

Comparison test September 23, 2010 Not big, but real (Jeep Cherokee, Land Rover Defender 110, Mitsubishi Pajero, Nissan Pathfinder, SsangYong Rexton II, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, UAZ Patriot)

In this review, we decided to collect cars that you can safely go on any trip, regardless of the state of the roads or their complete absence. There are many true all-terrain vehicles on the Russian market, but we decided to limit ourselves to medium-sized models. The main criterion is the presence of a complete off-road arsenal and a frame structure. But the price is the second thing. After all, affordable models of domestic production and the most advanced foreign developments fall into this sector.

When you need a full-size frame SUV, and there is not enough money to buy a used German or Japanese copy, take a closer look at jeeps from Korea. These vehicles are value for money. They behave well on asphalt and are able to overcome serious impassability. In addition, they are well equipped and very comfortable, reliable and easy to maintain.

In 2012, the world saw the third generation SsangYong Rexton W 2016-2017, which is produced and sold quite successfully to this day. The car is not that popular, but you can meet it on the streets of any more or less large city.

This is the third generation, the previous two were quite popular and the manufacturer was simply obliged to release a more modern model to maintain sales levels. The car has changed in many ways, but first things first.

Exterior

The appearance of the car has not changed too much, but still there is something new. The model has a rather specific design, but some people like it. The car has a simple raised hood, but these bumps are not very noticeable. Diamond-shaped halogen headlights are installed, and between them is a rectangular chrome grille. Pleased with the shape of the bumper of the car, which has narrow LED headlights, under which air intakes are located. The lower part is equipped with plastic protection.

The side part of the SUV surprises with very swollen wheel arches, in which 16th discs are in stock, but for an additional amount it will be possible to install 17th and 18th discs. Massive rear-view mirrors received a large turn signal repeater. There is a threshold, which is mostly decorative. Above we can see a chrome insert, and even higher a deep stamping line. On the roof there are large and frequently used rails by the owner.

The back of the Sanyeng Rexton has large halogen headlights that look good. The trunk lid is just huge, it is divided into two sections - the rear window and the entire lid. The rear bumper is small, but it has narrow reflectors and a small plastic protection. The upper part has a spoiler, on which the brake light repeater is duplicated.

The dimensions of the body have also changed:

• length - 4755 mm;
• width - 1900 mm;
• height - 1840 mm;
• wheelbase - 2835 mm;
• clearance - 206 mm.

Specifications

Type	Volume	Power	Torque	Overclocking	Max speed	Number of cylinders
Diesel	2.0 l	155 HP	360 H*m	13.4 sec.	173 km/h	4
Diesel	2.7 l	163 HP	345 H*m	14.4 sec.	170 km/h	5
Diesel	2.7 l	186 HP	402 H*m	11.3 sec.	181 km/h	5

The model in our country is sold with 3 power units in the line, although there are only 4 of them. These units are not very powerful and therefore you should not rely on high-speed driving. This car will give you peace of mind. Let's talk about this in more detail, by the way, they are all diesel.

1. The base engine is a diesel 2-liter 16-valve turbo unit that produces 155 horsepower and 360 H * m of torque. This unit accelerates the SsangYong Rexton W 2016-2017 weighing 2700 kilograms to hundreds in 13 seconds, and the maximum speed is 173 km / h. It consumes 9 liters in the city and 6 liters on the highway - in principle, a little.
2. The second unit is a 2.7-liter inline 5-cylinder engine that has 163 horsepower and 345 H * m of torque. It also has a turbocharger and accelerates the car to hundreds in 14 seconds, the maximum speed is 170 km / h. He has more consumption - 13 liters in city mode and 8 liters on the highway.
3. The last engine is essentially a copy of the previous one, but the boost pressure has been increased and as a result, the power has increased to 186 horsepower. The dynamics are as follows - 11 seconds to hundreds and 181 km / h of maximum speed. Consumption is 11 liters in the city and 8 liters on the highway.

The units are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, but you can also install a 5-speed automatic transmission from a German manufacturer. This is a frame car that has all-wheel drive, regardless of configuration. Also, this all-wheel drive can be controlled electronically, but for the most part it is rear-wheel drive.

The suspension is not bad, in front it is completely independent and multi-link. The back part is dependent and has a beam. In some trim levels, an independent system will also be installed at the rear. At the back there is a threaded bridge with a manual center locking function. The car stops with the help of disc brakes, and the front ones have ventilation.

Sanyeng Rexton interior

The model does not have the best skin materials, but this is due to the price. The build quality isn't that great either. Fabric and plastic are mainly used, but there are also supposedly wooden inserts, but in fact it is wood-like plastic.

In front, we can observe simple fabric seats without at least some lateral support, in general, the chair will not hold you when cornering. Nevertheless, a large amount of free space will please. These seats will please with the presence of heating and electric adjustments with memory function.

Behind is a sofa for three passengers, which can easily accommodate this number of people. In the middle there is an armrest with two cupholders. There is also a third row for two people, there is not much space there, but it is ideal for children.

The driver of the Sanyeng Rexton W 2016-2017 will get a large 4-spoke steering wheel with leather sheathing, it is really big and has 10 buttons to control the audio system. The steering column is adjustable for height and reach, which is definitely a plus. The dashboard is quite simple - large analog gauges for the speedometer and tachometer and small analog gauges for fuel level and oil temperature.

The center console at the top between the air deflectors has a small clock monitor. Beneath this is a line of buttons for alarms, enabling and disabling the ESP, the descent function, and so on. Then we can see either a head unit with a large number of buttons, or it can be replaced with a small multimedia touch screen. Stylishly made climate control unit (unfortunately not separate). It is a semicircular monitor on which the temperature is displayed, after which there are buttons and two twists that are familiar to everyone. The lowest part received seat heating control washers and USB and AUX ports are also located there.

The initial part of the tunnel has two cup holders with chrome trim, after them there is a large gear selector, which also has a chrome trim. On the left is the parking brake handbrake, and after that we see the armrest. The trunk is really large, its volume is 678 liters.

Price

This car has a fairly large number of configurations with different levels of equipment. The basic version is currently 1 579 000 rubles and it has the following functions:

• heated front and rear seats;
• climate control;
• rear parking sensors;
• light sensor;
• Rain sensor;
• bluetooth;
• 4 airbags.

The most expensive version will cost the buyer 2 329 000 rubles, and will appear in it:

• power seats with memory;
• rear row heating;
• front parking sensors;
• Cruise control;
• toning;
• fog optics;
• 18 discs.

In 2017, the company decided to stop production of the crossover, so now it will not be possible to buy it new.

In general, a good SUV for such a price, it is not the best quality and far from the best. In our opinion, competitors are much better in terms of equipment and quality, but they lose a lot in cross-country ability. That is why we leave the final decision on the purchase of Sanyeng Rexton to you.

Photo Ssang Yong G4 2017-2018:

The SsangYong Rexton W is a medium-sized SUV from the South Korean company SsangYong, which was assembled on the Mercedes-Benz M-class platform and has been produced since 2001. Since 2006, the SUV has undergone an update and the release of the 2nd generation took place. After 6 years, in 2012, the car went through another restyling. The company works closely with the German company Mercedes-Benz. The entire range of Sang Yong.

Exterior

It's no secret that a little earlier, ordinary car lovers and professionals gave a lot of criticism towards the appearance of the SsangYong SUV, but now it's all history. Thanks to pleasant shapes and expressive headlights, which are combined with fog lamps and installed in the air intake of the bumper, the car began to look more modern. The bow part has a stylish stamping on the hood, the false radiator grille has received a lot of chrome, thanks to large lamps with a complex shape, the roadway has become better illuminated. Embossed 3-section bumper together with LED running lights in the form of a semi-arc look very impressive.

The side part of the South Korean car has 18-inch alloy wheels, which will make you feel confident while going off-road. But do not think that the car was designed only for movement through the swamps. It is easily versed in urban areas, which is why it was equipped with modern satellite radars that allow you to quickly and safely park. The stern of the car received bright and economical LED-elements. Also immediately striking is the large tailgate. In place is a nice spoiler and a massive rear window, which has excellent visibility.

They make the car more stylish with a massive bumper with stylish chandeliers of parking lights, which are rectangular in shape and stretch along a vertical plane. There is some "chip" on the back door - if necessary, you can open only its upper part separately from the entire door. This solution is very practical, given that sometimes you have to put or take small things from the luggage compartment. For the Russian market, it will be possible to choose an SUV in colors: gray, dark gray, black, brown, silver and white. Turning your attention to the appearance of SangYong, you understand that restyling has only benefited him, he began to look more solid, more expensive and more representative.

Dimensions

The width of the SsangYong Rexton W is 1,900 mm, the height is 1,840 mm, the length is 4,755 mm, the front ground clearance is 247 mm, and the rear part rises on the road surface by 206 mm. This is very good, it even creates the feeling that the car was created specifically for driving on the territory of the Russian Federation. The wheelbase is 2,835 mm.

Interior

The South Korean specialists were very pleased with the interior of the car - now it corresponds to the declared class. You can immediately note the presence of high-quality finishing materials, correctly selected color combinations, rather soft plastic panels, as well as their good assembly and fitting. The seats turned out to be wide, strong, comfortable with excellent coverage and the most optimal list of spatial settings. The console, installed in the center, is large and overall, but the fact that various controls are located on it in a very ergonomic and convenient way cannot be denied. Everything is in its place. More expensive configurations have at their disposal a 7-inch color display, which also supports touch input. Frankly, even the standard Comfort package impresses with its saturation with various technological innovations, which cannot but rejoice. For example, there are electronic assistants, a rollover protection system and a course stability system. Also there can be attributed a 5-seater saloon, front and side airbags, heating of two seats next to each other.

There is also the presence of a head unit that supports MP3 and USB format, Bluetooth, as well as duplication of control on the multifunctional steering wheel, climate control, an alarm system installed from the factory with a central lock. More expensive configurations already have leather interior trim, adaptive cruise control. Electric drive for the seats in the first row, panoramic sunroof with electric motor. There is even a 3rd row of seats that are equipped with a personal climate system. It becomes obvious that the inner shell of the SsangYong Rexton W does not want to give in to more expensive rivals. As for the armrests, center console and dashboard, they are distinguished by their massive dimensions, as it should be in rather big cars.

In addition to the fact that the front seats are quite comfortable, they have good lateral support, and the driver's seat moves back when the ignition key is removed in order to make it easier for the driver to exit and land. An important advantage is the memory service, which can remember the position of the driver and rear-view mirrors for three people. Sitting in the second row is very comfortable, there is enough free space, and there is also a backrest adjustment. As a separate option, you can buy the 3rd row for 2 seats. Speaking for the luggage compartment, here the SUV does not break any records, it is quite an average figure - 678 liters of usable space, which, if necessary, can be increased by transforming the seats. It is interesting that, thanks to the air conditioning system used, it is possible to maintain not only the required temperature regime, but also provide protection from ingress of smoke, burning and other foreign odors, which allows you to keep the air clean.

Technical specifications

The SUV is still based on a spar-type frame structure, which has three layers. It is this frame that allows the SsangYong Rexton W to be a real, strong and durable car. As a power unit, even for a simple SsangYong Rexton without the letter "W", a 2.0-liter 155-horsepower turbocharged diesel engine is offered. A 2.0-liter power unit eats about 7.2-7.6 liters per 100 km, and reaches the first hundred in 13.4-14.0 seconds. The maximum speed is at the level of 173-175 km / h. “.7-liter engine can accelerate to 170 km / h, and the first hundred it will take about 14.4 seconds. His appetite is 9.8 liters of diesel. The most powerful motor, volume 2.7, has a variable geometry and a Common Rail power system. Its work is synchronized with the T-Tronic automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive with a planetary differential, which can distribute the potential in a 40/60 ratio in favor of the rear wheels. Thanks to 186 horses, he manages to reach the mark of 100 km/h in just 11.3 seconds. For 100 km, such an engine will need about 9.2 liters of diesel fuel in combined mode.

It is important to consider that all power units were developed without outside help from other automotive manufacturers. The latest version of the SangYong Rexton is equipped with permanent all-wheel drive. Such technical characteristics are quite enough not only for maneuvers in the city, but also for driving over long distances and off-road. As for the gearbox, it is produced, as before, according to individual orders by Mercedes-Benz specialists. Thanks to the introduction of modern technologies, it was possible to produce efficient engines that can respond quickly to fuel supply, which ensures maximum performance indicators of reliability and unpretentiousness. The gearbox has also been implemented with the "Winter" function, which provides an improved start from a standstill when driving on slippery roads.

Ahead there is an independent wishbone suspension with telescopic shock absorbers, and at the rear with "Part-time" and TOD - a dependent continuous axle, with AWD - an independent eight-link design. The steering is represented by a rack and pinion type steering mechanism, and is completed with a hydraulic power steering. The braking system is presented on the SsangYong Rexton W in the form of disc brakes on all wheels, and the front ones have a ventilation option. The car supports ABS, EBD and Brake Assist systems. Among the all-wheel drive systems can be Part-Time - manual connection of the all-wheel drive system, TOD - automatic connected all-wheel drive and AWD - permanent all-wheel drive.

ACTIVE SAFETY

SangYong Rexton provides future buyers not only with an attractive appearance and a decent level of comfort inside the car, but also with a good degree of safety, which has been achieved through the use of a considerable number of active systems. It was based on a system of exchange rate stability, which ensures stable control of the machine in any situation. Interestingly, the service itself can make changes to the operation of the brake system and the power unit in order to maintain stability on the road. With exchange rate stability, a service works together that works against slipping and an anti-lock braking system. In the same place, a service has found its place, which can warn about a rollover of the car. How the brake system will work depends largely on ensuring the use of an emergency brake booster, which is also in the SsangYong Rexton W, which is triggered by a sharp press on the brake pedal to the stop.

They also worked on improving the safety of the car when driving on slopes, where the electric component itself is able to regulate the force on the brake system and the size of the thrust of the power unit, which ensures a smooth descent with a significant slope of the road. There is also a door lock while driving, which will prevent children from accidentally opening the door while the car is moving.

PASSIVE SAFETY

The body of the car was designed so that the energy on impact is distributed over a larger surface and reduced by structural details, which allows for better protection for passengers sitting inside the car. Due to the fact that there is a strong frame with spars, this allows you to increase the overall resistance of the structure to mechanical damage and at the same time increases the life of the car. Stiffening ribs, which are made of steel, are also installed in the doors, which makes it possible to avoid serious damage from side impacts.

As an additional protection on the seats installed in front, there are front and side airbags, which work together with belt pretensioners, which allows you to firmly fix the person before the airbag deploys. The service understands that when the airbag deploys, the pretensioners will loosen, which releases a certain percentage of force, and ensures that there is not too much pressure following the impact.

Options and prices

The South Korean-made SUV is distinguished by an abundance of configuration variations: Original, Comfort, Elegance, Elegance Family, Luxury and Luxury Family. The price tag for the SsangYong Rexton W starts at 1,579,000 rubles. There you can find the presence of ABS, ESP, ARP, frontal airbags for passengers sitting in front, hydraulic power steering, alarm, climate control, heated front seats, power windows, radio with USB and Bluetooth support, and so on. Already by all of the above, it becomes obvious that even the standard basic equipment has a rich list of options and various systems, which cannot but rejoice.

Other versions will have leather upholstery, a color screen, cruise control, power seat adjustments in the front row, a power sunroof and air conditioning for the auxiliary row with separate air ducts. It seems that the cost of an off-road car in future trim levels will differ not in the number of auxiliary functions, but in the finish inside the car, the number of seats, the power unit and the drive. So, the top-end version of the 2016 SsangYong Rexton W in the 2.7 Xdi Luxury AT 4WD configuration will be priced at 2,329,990 rubles for a 3.7-liter diesel engine, an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Summing up

The updated South Korean SUV SsangYong Rexton W has become more modern, has a great appearance and even looks a little sporty. The headlights fit perfectly into the harmony of the car. We have to admit that the SangYong Rexton looks very much like a Mercedes-Benz, but this is a very pleasant fact. Pleasantly pleased with the presence of a small footrest, which gives a certain charm to the car and facilitates the boarding and disembarking of passengers. Inside, everything is in its place and intuitively clear. The dashboard is easy to read, the multifunction steering wheel is comfortable and allows you to adjust many of the car's settings. The quality of the interior, although not ideal, is still much better. This can be attributed to the fitting of all parts and the size of the gaps. There are different places to store small things, as well as an acceptable amount of luggage space, which, if necessary, can be increased by folding down the rear seatbacks.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the list of standard equipment, which has many useful features that can be available in other cars only for an additional fee. This suggests that the company seeks to compete not only in its own car market, but also in Europe. Designers and engineers have not forgotten about ensuring the proper level of safety, which will allow you to feel confident and secure in this SUV. Although the range of power units is not bright, there is still plenty to choose from. All motors do their job quite well. And thanks to the all-wheel drive system and a sufficiently high ground clearance, you do not have to worry too much where you eat. We hope that the South Korean company will not stop there, but will continue not only to produce new cars, but also to improve existing ones.
