The SsangYong Rexton designed by Italdesign Giugiaro

Vehicle Overview

The SsangYong Rexton first generation was developed in 1998 with the Y200 design code: the Korean manufacturer intended to replace the now elderly Musso off-road vehicle with a completely new model, more technologically advanced and above all with a more modern design by Italdesign. SsangYong was already a partner of Mercedes-Benz, and strengthened the alliance with the German manufacturer by acquiring the production license for the side member platform of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class; the design of the new vehicle was entrusted to Italdesign and was set following the trend of luxury SUVs, a rapidly growing market, while maintaining the off-road characteristics. The SsangYong Rexton was presented in 2001 in South Korea and was available in both a five-seater and a seven-seater version with manual gearbox equipped with a reduction gear, or 4-speed sequential automatic with steering wheel controls. The engines are of Mercedes-Benz origin.
