For anyone interested in this car, don't get the 20" rims. 18" are more comfy. Also, for another 1000E you can get the Ironman 4x4 suspension kit and it makes the driving sooooooo much better, and the comfort, especially for the middle/back rows is greatly improved. It is truly a great car, I'm extremely happy with it!

Thanks very much, it’s one hell of a capable car!

This is great video, thanks for making it! This Y400 Rexton is starting to look like The Car I might need as my next ride! Been driving a T31 Nissan X-Trail for few years, but I could use some extra space and 3rd row for occasional use. It's been a overwhelming to find a newer 4x4 with about the same level of practicality as the T31 (and sadly, I can't afford a Discovery 3 or 4) at reasonable price. Just spotted a really nice 2020 Rexton for sale near me, it's low mileage top spec and only three years old, but the price is less than half of what it was as new! That's amazing value, IMO!!! That Rexton is still out of my budget, but getting really close to acceptable. ;-) BTW, how would you compare this Rexton to, say, facelifted R51 Nissan Pathfinder? The Pathfinder is more agricultural on the inside, sure, but how do these two compare in on-road manners?

Have a 2022 Rexton ELX. Upgraded suspension by Dealer, giving a 40mm lift, which is much better for Australian roads. Ridiculously cheaper than rivals. Drives very nicely on and off road. Apart from the same parts supply issues every brand has currently, can't really fault it. Will tow my 3000kg+ caravan easily. Why would I want a Landrover that constantly breaks down, or a Toyota, or Ford Everest, for $20-40K more?

@@sosi12…Ironman 4x4 suspension kit….

Had this generation when it first launched late 2017 - what was then the Ultimate was more or less the same spec as the new Ultimate+ - they removed a lot of the spec over the years and now added back in for a bit more money (but nowhere near the sort of increase of other brands). It is an excellent vehicle, extremely well built and reliable. We moved on from it a few years ago, never should have let it go. Amazingly, residuals are extremely strong - to put that into perspective, the car we had was worth c.£27k when it was 18 months old - that same car, now 5 years old, is still worth £27k! You'll struggle to find a Rexton of 3/4/5 years old, regardless of mileage, for less than £25k. We now have a Musso Rhino - a quite different driving experience given the suspension and length and the Auto box is Aisin 6 speed, rather than the now upgraded Hyundai box in the Rexton. My few criticisms of the Rexton in it's earlier form was the gearbox, the auto box was not a strong point at all - it often struggled to find a gear when under acceleration which really impeded any quick progress - the engine is more than capable. The new Hyundai unit is vastly better and really complements the car. Ssangyong don't claim this to be on a par with the Discovery, but knowledgeable buyers will recognise it will give you everything the Disco would for far, far less money and, truthfully, be much more reliable. I cannot recommend it enough - makes me want another.

@BuckleUpShow

Жыл бұрын

Well it's something to consider when the Musso Rhino is due to be traded in

I bought it due to its weight, which in the real world weight is more important than ancap rating. The seats don't fold down into the floor because the spare wheel is under the back of the car and is up really high to allow off road clearance.

@@markbray2988 the rexton is amazing and was only $50k in Australia compared to $70-100k for other large suvs that we test drove. We have friends with those cars by the way (Ford everest, Nissan patrol, Isuzu whatever it is) and they are very impressed with the rexton. We have better interior by far than all of them, quieter, better fuel economy and arguably looks better and more expensive than the rest. We have done 60,000km with zero issues. We are constantly finding new functions too, most recently being a symbol that comes up occasionally on the AC display. It's an air quality monitor that prevents outside air from coming in when smoke or fumes are in front of the car.

The 20 inch rims would be the main cause for the "jiggle" you are feeling . 4x4s should be shod with 16, 17 or 18 inch rims - less metal and more rubber to the ground. I had a rx290 rexton shod on 16inch rims and yokohamas cross terrain tires, what a smooth blissful ride she was. There's saying in Oz (Australia), if you want to go to cutbacks, take a land-rover, but if want to come back, take a Toyota. The rextons have the same reliability as Toyotas, just ask the owners .0

If you're driving normally, i.e. Following at a safe distance, anticipating and coming gradually to a halt in traffic, then the alert should never sound in any vehicle. What you're describing sounds more like parking sensors anyhow. Companies like Euro NCAP and Thatcham test these systems using inflatable objects that won't damage a vehicle if something goes wrong, it would be reckless to test them out in a loaned vehicle on the public highway just on the off chance they don't engage correctly.
