SsangYong Philippines is offering a refreshed Rexton for the local market. For the most part, the new Rexton comes with cosmetic changes that keep the Rexton up with the likes of Ford Everest, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and Isuzu mu-X in the local midsize SUV segment – or even better.

The new Rexton is designed with a new honeycomb grille that instantly sets it apart from its previous models. The headlights are added with titanium gray headlight bezels giving the SUV a sharper look. SsangYong also offers a new Marble Gray color finish for those who wish for a more distinct Rexton visual.

It still uses the same 8-inch infotainment system that supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As a vehicle that aims to provide a premium feel, LED interior lightings are still available for the facelifted model.

Under the hood, the new Rexton still uses the same 2.2-liter turbodiesel engine from the previous model. The engine is capable of producing 179 hp and 420 Nm of torque.

Aside from the vehicular changes, SsangYong Philippines is now offering the 7-seater midsize SUV with a free 5-year preventive maintenance service (PMS) that comes with a five-year warranty. The free PMS covers the cost of oil, parts, and labor for the first five years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

SsangYong Rexton

The SsangYong Rexton is the brand's offering to the midsize SUV segment in the market. The vehicle is making its name amidst the intense competition in the Philippines. The SsangYong Rexton is the only ladder-frame SUV offering from South Korea. It shares the same platform with its cousin, the SsangYong Musso. The Korean Pickup truck is based on the brand's SUV, the SsangYong Rexton. By simply looking on the vehicle's exterior, it shows a very familiar proportion to the standard SUVs rolling on the Metro roads. The South Korean manufacturer's 4x4 offering proves the capability of the brand as a go-anywhere vehicle. Because of the heavy competition in the SUV segment, SsangYong ensures that its Rexton is equipped with creature comforts, amenities, and features that are not usually found in most SUVs like cooled and heated seats. The vehicle is also employed with convenience and advanced safety features to assist the driver. It also boasts a seamless smartphone connectivity courtesy of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The SsangYong also equipped the Rexton with the standard fare of equipment such as 4x4 and 4x2 options, 2.2L diesel engine, and a spacious cabin that can accommodate seven occupants. These features make it blend well with its SUV rivals.
