[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Ssangyong Motor, standing at the crossroads of survival, will begin sales of the facelifted model of the Rexton Sports & Khan, The New Rexton Sports & Khan, on the 5th.

Ssangyong Motor announced on the same day that it will hold an online showcase on the 6th to premiere the introduction video of The New Rexton Sports & Khan, along with test drives and reviews by famous personalities. The showcase video will be released at 10 a.m. on the 6th through Ssangyong Motor’s official YouTube channel.

Actor Lee Si-young was appointed as the advertising model for The New Rexton Sports & Khan. A music video featuring rapper Ravi, who wrote and composed a song themed on The New Rexton Sports & Khan, and pansori singer Bang Su-mi will also be released. Additionally, YouTuber Lee Gwa-jang and creator Maeng Dae-jang are scheduled to release related videos.

The New Rexton Sports & Khan inherits the robust and dynamic true pickup truck based on the design concept ‘Go Tough.’ The front of The New Rexton Sports & Khan features a grand radiator grille extending horizontally and straight, combined with vertically arranged LED fog lights, creating a dynamic yet stable appearance.

The side and rear parts harmonize the side character line that connects the radiator grille to the integrated headlamps, the newly applied exterior package including wheel and door garnish, and the tailgate garnish engraved with the ‘SPORTS·KHAN’ lettering.

The exterior colors include a total of eight options: Galaxy Gray, Amazonia (a new green color), Grand White, Silky White Pearl, Space Black, Marble Gray, Atlantic Blue, and Indian Red. The interior consists of seats made of premium Nappa leather, with a choice between black and brown interiors.

Unlike competing models, The New Rexton Sports & Khan allows users to select deck specifications by model according to their usage and needs. The Khan’s deck has an overwhelming capacity of 1,262 liters, 24.8% larger than the Sports (1,011 liters), and a 75% increased load capacity, capable of carrying up to 700 kg. The Dynamic 5-link suspension model supports up to 500 kg. Furthermore, the specially configured Dynamic suspension in the Dynamic package raises the height by about 10 mm, improving off-road capability as well as handling performance and driving stability.

The powertrain combines the e-XDi220 LET diesel engine with the AISIN AW 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum output of 187 ps at 3,800 rpm and a maximum torque of 40.8 kg·m between 1,400 and 2,800 rpm. The Khan model, supporting its expanded load capacity, has the same maximum output as the Sports but a higher maximum torque of 42.8 kg·m between 1,600 and 2,600 rpm.

Ssangyong Motor’s accumulated technology and know-how are embodied in the four-wheel-drive system, providing stable driving performance even in harsh weather conditions such as snow and rain and on off-road terrain. Additionally, the Locking Differential (LD) delivers climbing ability 5.6 times better and towing capacity about 4 times superior compared to models equipped with a conventional differential when slip occurs.

The new Sports & Khan is equipped with six airbags including side airbags, ultra-high-strength Quad Frame, various advanced safety technologies, and infotainment features.

Specifically, the integrated smart driving package of advanced driving safety assistance systems includes ▲AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) ▲FVSW (Front Vehicle Start Warning) ▲SHB (Smart High Beam) ▲LDW (Lane Departure Warning) ▲FCW (Forward Collision Warning) ▲LCW (Lane Change Warning) ▲RCTW (Rear Cross Traffic Warning) ▲BSW (Blind Spot Warning), enhancing accident prevention safety.

Other convenience features include ▲3D Around View Monitoring ▲Auto-closing (doors automatically lock when the key is carried and the vehicle moves a certain distance away) ▲Dual-zone full-auto air conditioning and second-row air vents ▲Wiper de-icing system, among others.

The Sports model’s sales price ranges from 24.39 million KRW to 33.45 million KRW, while the Khan model ranges from 28.56 million KRW to 36.49 million KRW.
