SsangYong has quietly put the thoroughly facelifted Rexton on the Dutch price lists last year. The renewed Rexton is currently only available as a company car, but SsangYong is aiming for the regular version with seven seats – and therefore not with a gray license plate – to be available later this year.
Techzle was able to show the first images of the radically renewed SsangYong Rexton in October 2019. A month later, the updated version of the SsangYong Rexton, which was released in 2017, was officially presented. What seems? The car is on the Dutch price lists, although it only concerns versions with a gray license plate. These commercial vehicle versions of the Rexton have no rear seats, but they do have a sea of ​​interior space.
SsangYong Rexton
SsangYong asks € 32,636 for the updated Rexton. For that amount you drive the Crystal version. Four-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission are standard on all versions. The middle of the three versions in which SsangYong supplies the Rexton is the € 37,182 costing Quartz. The most expensive version is the Sapphire, a variant of which SsangYong is priced € 41,314 has hung on. Regardless of the version chosen, there is a 202 hp and 441 Nm strong 2.2 e-CDi220 diesel engine under the hood, a machine with which the Rexton can even pull up to 3,500 kilos.
As mentioned, these are the prices of the Rexton as a company car, so the prices are exclusive of bpm and VAT. SsangYong says it is also putting the regular seven-person version on the price list of the new Rexton this year. Logically, the prices of those versions will soon be higher.

Standard equipment
The standard equipment of the SsangYong Rexton in Crystaltrim includes automatic emergency braking system, fatigue detection, automatic high beam, lane assist, road sign detection and 17-inch alloy wheels. LED headlights are standard, the same is true for LED rear lights and roof rails. For the basic version, SsangYong further offers cruise control, electrically adjustable, heated and folding exterior mirrors, a leather-covered heated steering wheel, a light and rain sensor, front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera. A 9.2-inch large infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also standard. The Quartz version adds to the above 18-inch light alloy, a knee airbag for the driver, an extra insulating windshield, dark tinted rear side windows, two-zone climate control with air ionisation. Top version Sapphire also benefits not only from an active lane assistant and blind spot detection and assist, but also from Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a limited slip differential and leather-covered seats that are heated as well as ventilated. The Sapphire also gets a 12.3-inch large digital instrumentation, adaptive cruise control, mood lighting, an inductive charger and keyless entry.
Facelift
The facelifted Rexton distinguishes itself from the outside with its new, more angularly designed headlights, modified bumpers and renewed rear lights from its predecessor. In addition, SsangYong has improved the use of materials in the interior, there are new seats, a new rear seat and – more importantly – a renewed powertrain. That renewed 2.2 diesel engine is 21 hp and 20 Nm stronger than the previous one. In addition, there is no longer a physical connection between the automatic lever and the machine itself. So shift by wire. The machine itself is a new transmission with eight instead of seven gears. In addition, the renewed Rexton is the first SsangYong with electric power steering.
