The customized version of the Rexton, shown on the SsangYong stand at this year’s British International Motor Show, is now an additional model in the SsangYong range, priced at £29,995 on-the-road.

Built at Project Kahn’s Bradford facility, the Rexton R-Line is based on the Rexton 270 SPR - that is priced at £24,995. R-Line now adds more luxury and design flair.

Immediately obvious are the Kahn Design 22 inch RST alloy wheels. Performance and handling are improved with a Kahn Design sports exhaust and a lower center of gravity from the sports suspension springs.

Inside, a high quality black nappa leather and soft Alcantara interior with red stitching cossets the Rexton’s occupants. Seats, door panels and center console have been specially upholstered to add a tactile quality to the driving experience.

Standard features include climate control, electronic stability programme (ESP) with active rollover protection (ARP), hill descent control (HDC), ABS, parking sensors, cruise control, auto lights and wipers, side airbags, electric folding door mirrors and heated seats. Leather upholstery is standard, but the Kahn R-Line is further upgraded.

The Rexton R-Line uses a more powerful version of the SsangYong 2.7 five cylinder turbo diesel engine producing 186 PS and 402 Nm torque at 2,400rpm. Transmission is a Mercedes T-Tronic automatic with gear lever and steering wheel shift buttons, and with permanent all-wheel drive. Suspension is independent all round. A rear spoiler and Kenwood touch-screen navigation system are the only options, but if a customer prefers a different exterior paint and interior leather color combination, anything’s possible.

What can we say? This surely is the best looking SsangYong we have ever seen.
