About

The Ssangyong Rexton RX7 is a full-size SUV that stands out for its luxurious appeal and robust build. Powered by a 2.7-liter, 5-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, it offers two transmission options a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed automatic, with the latter producing 184 bhp and 402 Nm of torque. The vehicle features a premium interior with leather upholstery, a sunroof, Bluetooth, GPS navigation, and cruise control, among other amenities. Its high ground clearance and all-wheel drive capability make it suitable for mild off-road excursions, although its not designed for hardcore off-roading. The Rextons ride quality is commendable, absorbing road shocks effectively, but it lacks the agility and steering feedback that would make it enjoyable for spirited driving. Overall, its a comfortable and feature-packed SUV ideal for those who prioritize luxury, space, and daily usability over driving dynamics.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ssangyong Rexton RX7 is a mixed bag that caters well to those seeking a comfortable, feature-rich SUV for daily commuting and highway cruising. Its 2.7-liter, 5-cylinder turbo-diesel engine is potent, delivering linear power and ample torque, although it can get noisy at higher revs. The vehicles ride quality is excellent, especially at slow to medium speeds, but it suffers from body roll and lacks steering feedback, making it less appealing for enthusiastic driving. The interior is plush, with premium materials, ample storage, and a host of features like leather upholstery, sunroof, and cruise control. However, the slow-witted automatic gearbox and soggy brakes are notable drawbacks. Overall, its a great value-for-money proposition, especially considering its competitive pricing, but it may not satisfy those looking for a more engaging driving experience.

Price

When the Ssangyong Rexton RX7 was launched in India, the ex-showroom price for the automatic variant was around Rs 19.67 lakh in Mumbai, while the manual variant was priced at Rs 17.67 lakh. On-road prices varied by location but generally added another Rs 2-3 lakh to the ex-showroom price, depending on local taxes and other costs. This pricing strategy made the Rexton a very attractive option in its segment, offering a lot of features and comfort at a price that was significantly lower than its main competitors like the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour. The value-for-money aspect was a key selling point, making it an appealing choice for buyers looking for a luxurious SUV without breaking the bank.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 25 May 2017 12:12 PM The Ssangyong Rexton RX7 was notable for its spacious and feature-rich interior, including automatic climate control, powered front seats, and a TFT screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The cabin was praised for its quality and comfort, making it a compelling option against competitors like the Toyota Fortuner. I believe the interior amenities and the overall build quality were among the Rextons strongest selling points.

Friday, 24 March 2017 03:35 PM The Ssangyong Rexton RX7, the top model in the Rexton lineup, has been discontinued in the Indian market. This SUV was known for its 2.7-liter diesel engine, producing 184 bhp and 402 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. It featured a 4WD/AWD system and had a mileage of 11.18 kmpl. The Rexton RX7 was priced at around Rs. 24.85 lakh. I believe this discontinuation might be a strategic move to make way for newer models, but its a loss for those who appreciated its robust performance and features.

Friday, 24 March 2017 06:51 PM In 2017, SsangYong unveiled the second-generation Rexton at the Seoul Motor Show, marking a significant upgrade in terms of technology and features. This new model boasted improved engine performance, enhanced interior quality, and advanced safety features. Although it was expected to launch in India later that year, the exact timeline was not confirmed. I think this new generation would have been a strong contender in the Indian SUV market, given its premium feel and robust build.

Wednesday, 17 October 2012 03:49 PM When Mahindra introduced the SsangYong Rexton in India in October 2012, it marked the entry of the SsangYong brand into the Indian market. The Rexton was priced between Rs. 17.67 lakh and Rs. 19.67 lakh and was powered by a 2.7-liter, five-cylinder turbo-diesel engine sourced from Mercedes. I think this was a bold move by Mahindra to expand its SUV offerings and leverage SsangYongs technology.

Mileage

Thursday, 21 November 2024 04:57 AM The mileage of the Ssangyong Rexton RX7 is decent but not exceptional. The ARAI-tested figure for the automatic variant is around 11.18 kmpl, while real-world usage typically yields between 8-11 kmpl in city driving and up to 13 kmpl on highways. This is relatively fuel-hungry compared to some other SUVs in its class, but the powerful engine and heavy build contribute to this. For those concerned about running costs, its important to factor in the higher fuel consumption, but the overall package and features may still make it a worthwhile choice.
