Mahindra to Debut New SsangYong Rexton at 2016 Paris Motor Show
Highlights
- Design inspired by the polar bear and traditional 'Korean aesthetics'
- Gets scultped lines, flared wheel arches, etc.
- Will also be also offered as a 7-seater
According to AutoExpress, the new generation Rexton's design is "inspired by the polar bear and traditional "Korean aesthetics"". Much like the new SsangYong Tivoli, the Rexton will also get an exciting makeover, complete with scultped lines, flared wheel arches, single slate grille, a sporty bumper with skid plates and large air dams, etc..
Inside, the new SsangYong Rexton features a pleasant design replete with a bunch of buttons, lot of chrome, and a good-looking central touchscreen. To be also offered as a 7-seater, SsangYong has made good use of the Rexton's wheelbase and promises both, decent legroom and boot space.
The new SsangYong Rexton will come powered by the new 2.0-litre GDi turbocharged petrol engine mated to the current model's 7-speed automatic gearbox. The carmaker is also likely to introduce an 8-speed automatic sourced from Mercedes-Benz albeit a little later.
