The 2001-2011 SsangYong Rexton I and Rexton II represent a significant chapter in the history of the South Korean automaker. The first-generation Rexton, launched in 2001, was a bold statement, aiming to compete directly with established players in the mid-size SUV market. It offered a rugged, body-on-frame construction, spacious cabin, and the option of a powerful 2.9-liter diesel engine from Mercedes-Benz. The Rexton I was offered in various trim levels, including the base model, the luxurious "RX200," and the off-road focused "RX270." While its styling was somewhat dated, the Rexton I garnered attention for its practicality and value proposition, particularly in markets like Europe and Australia.
The Rexton II, introduced in 2006 as a mid-cycle refresh, brought about a significant visual overhaul and numerous refinements. The new model adopted a more modern and sophisticated exterior design, with a new front fascia, headlights, and taillights. The interior was also updated, featuring a more modern dashboard layout, improved materials, and enhanced sound insulation. The Rexton II continued to offer the potent 2.9-liter diesel engine, albeit in a more refined state, alongside a new 2.7-liter gasoline engine option. The Rexton II proved to be a popular choice for families and enthusiasts alike, offering a blend of comfortable ride, ample space, and decent off-road capability. Despite its success, SsangYong faced financial difficulties, and the Rexton II remained in production until 2011.
