Micro Cars Unveils Latest Generation of its Popular Rexton SUV

Micro Cars (Pvt) Ltd, Sri Lanka's first national automobile manufacturer, recently unveiled the brand new fourth generation model of its locally assembled SsangYong G4 Rexton SUV, at an event held at Park Street Mews in Colombo.

The latest iteration of the SsangYong G4 Rexton is a clear evolution from its predecessors, which was introduced to the world 17 years ago, and comes with all the features that you can expect from a true modern SUV.

The new Rexton is a powerful machine and comes with a 2.2L e-XDi220 LET diesel engine and a Mercedes-Benz 7-speed automatic transmission system to move its drive train. This quiet and efficient engine is capable of delivering a first-class performance even under the rough road conditions found in Sri Lanka. However, this is not a surprise as the precision tuning of the Rexton was carried out inside the wind tunnels of Pininfarina, the legendary design and engineering house based in Italy.

On the safety front, the latest SsangYong G4 Rexton has a re-engineered ultra-rigid Quad Frame chassis that’s manufactured for the first time using a 1.5GPa-grade advanced high-strength Giga Steel. These high-density steel plates cover more than 80 percent of all steel plates used in the Rexton’s body. It provides an outstanding protection against deformation during a collision and helps to offer a larger safe space within the cabin for the passengers.
