Rexton CSE van with new 2.2L Euro 6 diesel engine
The SsangYong Rexton CSE is a strong, proven and purposeful contender to the light commercial vehicle sector, and is
now greatly enhanced with the addition of an upgraded 2.2 litre turbo diesel Euro 6 engine.
uilt on a steel
ladder chassis and
with a 3 tonne
towing capacity,
the SsangYong
Rexton CSE makes
an extremely competent off-roader
and tow-vehicle, yet with all the
equipment and creature comforts
LCV drivers expect.
Using a body on frame construction
for maximum strength, it also
features double wishbone and coil
spring suspension to the front, and
a five link rigid axle with coil springs
at the rear.
Commented Paul Williams, CEO
of SsangYong Motor UK: “Priced at
only £19,495 (ex VAT), the new 2.2
litre powered Rexton CSE has an
almost unrivalled position in the
LCV sector.
“Built on a ladder chassis, it is a
serious off-roader yet with all the
equipment and comfort you expect
to find in a SsangYong and at such
an amazing price point. Not only
do you get a lot of vehicle for the
money but also the reassurance of
an industry-leading 5 year limitless
mileage warranty for complete
peace of mind.”
Powertrain
The newly developed e-XDi220
turbo diesel engine meets the
demand for a more powerful
performance and lower CO2
emissions at the same time.
Maximum power is increased to
178ps and torque to 400Nm, and
maximum torque is delivered from
a low of 1,400rpm and maintained
through a wide range up to
2,800rpm for smooth, progressive
driving from the start.
Big strides have been made with
CO2 emissions which have been
reduced to 184g/km, while fuel
economy is also improved and now
up to 40.4mpg (Combined cycle).
Interior design and load space
At the work end there’s a
completely flat load area accessed
via a high lifting tailgate and two
side doors, and packing a useful
2.2 cubic metre load volume.
There’s a load deck length of
1,700cm, and 107cm between the
wheel arches. It also carries a very
practical 740kg, and willingly pulls
a 3 tonne trailer.
Meanwhile, the cabin has been
given a refreshed new look.
Aluminium-effect and chrome
finishes along with soft-touch
materials result in a modern and
comfortable environment, yet one
that will prove extremely practical in
everyday use.
The comprehensive level of
standard equipment also includes
cruise control, air conditioning,
electrically operated windows &
heated door mirrors, leather
covered steering wheel and gear
B
knob, and CD & RDS radio with
iPod and Bluetooth connectivity.
Safety
The Rexton 2.2 CSE features a
comprehensive package of active
safety features including Electronic
Stability Program (ESP), Active
Rollover Protection, ABS with
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution
and Hill Descent Control, and there
are dual front and side air bags.
Designed to appeal as both a
work day and weekend leisure
vehicle, the new Rexton blends the
multi-role flexibility of a great offroad workhorse with a high level of
comfort and standard equipment.

5 year limitless mileage warranty
As with all models in the
SsangYong LCV range, the new
Rexton 2.2 CSE is covered by a 5
year limitless mileage warranty.
Designed to be totally
transparent and give customers
complete peace of mind, ‘limitless’
means just that: not a maximum
mileage condition that some
brands impose in their small print.
All the major mechanical
components are covered including
wheel bearings, suspension joints
and bushes, steering joints, shock
absorbers and even the audio
system. Wearable components
such as clutch discs and brake
friction materials which could have
their life reduced by poor driving
are covered for one year or 12,000
miles, and the battery and
paintwork for three years.
