About the KGM Rexton
Last updated Jul 01, 2025The 2024 Ssangyong Rexton remains largely unchanged except for some interior changes and variant specifications.
All models use an unchanged 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine producing 150kW of power and 441Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel drive system.
However, SsangYong says the Rexton has new lower body mounts to give it a “more rounded feel from secondary ride inputs”.
