Ssangyong
The SsangYong Rexton sells on value, rather than looks. From the front, it's far from the prettiest SUV on the road, but the side and rear views are reasonably pleasant. It's a big car - longer than the Volkswagen Touareg, but at almost six centimetres narrower, it never feels unwieldy. The 16 inch alloys do little to inject some style, and the cheap-looking badges do little to convey a feeling of quality.
t's a bit better inside, with a chunky looking dash echoing the Rexton's rugged pretensions. The dials are clear and most of the controls are simple to use. Unfortunately, the Kenwood CD/DVD/satnav unit (which comes with a handy remote control) is very fiddly to use. There's a nasty wood-effect - OK, mottled brown plastic - centre console and gear stick surround. That said, the leather seats which come as standard on the SE and SX models look great and proved to be comfortable companio |
