[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] SsangYong Motor announced on the 8th that it will supply the 'The New Rexton Sports,' which has significantly upgraded the product quality of the Rexton Sports, as command vehicles for the Republic of Korea Armed Forces.

The New Rexton Sports, which will be deployed as command vehicles for units at various levels, has passed field suitability evaluations in multiple aspects, including not only conventional driving performance and safety but also power supply capabilities required for communication operations in new military command vehicles and its role as a mobile command post. SsangYong Motor explained that this will contribute to enhancing the combat power of the armed forces.

The New Rexton Sports combines the e-XDi220 engine, optimized for Korean terrain performance based on an ultra-high-strength quad frame, with SsangYong's proprietary 4WD system, 4Tronic.

In particular, with the seating capacity expanded to 6 passengers, The New Rexton Sports has improved safety by applying six airbags, including side and curtain airbags, as well as enhanced climbing ability and obstacle overcoming capability, improving interior mobility convenience.

As a result, it is expected to perform various military support activities in the rugged driving environments required in our mountainous territory and field operations.

SsangYong Motor will start by supplying about 200 units and deliver approximately 700 units to units at various levels by the end of this year, continuing to supply quantities until 2023 according to the military command vehicle replacement plan.

Meanwhile, SsangYong Motor's Rexton W and Korando Sports were selected as command vehicles in 2012 after passing field suitability evaluations recognizing their performance, quality, and safety, and in 2019, the Rexton Sports was also selected as a command vehicle.
