SsangYong has completely refreshed its model line-up with a new range of Kyron, Rexton and Rodius models. The range comes with a standard three year/95,000 km warranty. The new range has been substantially upgraded with wider choice, specifications and pricing.

The new SsangYong Rexton range will soon be available in Ireland.

There are six Kyron SUV models with most using the latest clean and economical 2.0 litre, turbocharged common rail diesel engine, with two or four wheel drive and a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. The SsangYong Kyron goes head-to-head with the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe and Chevrolet Captiva.

The new Kyron S gets air conditioning, electronic stability programme (ESP), hill descent control (HDC), ABS brakes, a Kenwood radio and CD player and steering wheel audio controls. The five speed manual transmission is mated to the 141bhp turbo-diesel engine with 310 Nm of torque at 2,250rpm. All Kyrons are practical five-seaters that will tow up to 2.3 metric tons.

All three new SsangYong Rexton models have all-wheel drive and the 2.7-litre common rail turbo-diesel engine for big towing capacity and off road capability. The Rexton squares up against the Mitsubishi Pajero, Land Rover Discovery and Jeep Cherokee and, whichever way you look at it, offers great value and performance with huge advantages over the competition.

The SsangYong Rexton 270 S comes complete with ABS brakes, ESP with Active Rollover Protection (ARP), HDC, climate control and Kenwood audio system. The Rexton S uses manual transmission and torque on demand (TOD) four-wheel drive. Like other Rextons, it will happily tow up to 3.2 metric tons – enough for most caravaners, boat and horse owners.

For those looking for serious people-carrying capacity, SsangYong now offers four Rodius models in 2wd and 4wd, all with the 2.7 litre turbo diesel and with automatic transmission as an option. The 270 S is equipped with ABS, remote keyless entry, speed-sensing door locks, climate control and Kenwood audio system. It is also hugely practical with multiple seat variations and useful extras such as two 12v DC power outlets.

The Rodius 270 ES gains reverse parking sensors, auto headlights, electric folding mirrors, privacy glass, alloy wheels and ESP.

The SsangYong range appeals to those looking for a well equipped, immensely practical vehicle who want value for money rather than paying the premium prices demanded by other brands. They are especially suitable for anyone with a regular or occasional need to tow a caravan, boat or horsebox and if you need to venture off the tarmac, SsangYong's four-wheel drive systems will let you do it with ease.
