  • 2024 Ssangyong Rexton pricing and features
  • New infotainment system and lower-spec base model
  • Drive-away prices up across the range

The 2024 Ssangyong Rexton seven-seat SUV has been introduced with a new mid-range Adventure offering and a lower-spec ELX trim.

Despite the ELX losing features, the Korean-made Rexton SUV is $1010 more expensive – now $50,000 drive-away. The Adventure trim, which now features heated and ventilated seats, is $5K dearer than the old ELX.

Offsetting the price increase is a new dashboard with a large 12.3-inch touchscreen instead of the outgoing 8.0-inch item, and up-to-date USB-C charge ports.

The off-road friendly SUV based on Ssangyong's Musso ute also gets a redesigned dual-zone climate control module.

Maintaining the same 148kW/441Nm 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic, the Rexton's only hardware change is more compliant lower body mounts to improve the SUV's secondary ride characteristics.

Graphite grey joins five other available colours for 2024.
