Toyota Prado Vs SsangYong Rexton II |

Home
120 Series |
I put this page up so that you can compare the Landcruiser Prado to the SsangYong Rexton II. The manufacturer is really called SsangYong. According to Wikipeida it means Double Dragon. A relative new brand to most of the world in terms of cars - it is former a South Korean company that features Mercedes Benz engines and chassis. In fact there are various models based on older Mercedes car models and the Rexton is based on the older Mercedes M-Class 4WD. Nothing wrong with that! The engines and pricing however are the main selling point for the company. The Rexton was originally introduced in about 2001 as a
competitor for the prior generation Pajero and the Prado. The current
version is simply called the Rexton II. |
I have not seen too many Rexton's about - so its not a popular choice. I haven't even seen a dealer yet! So might be worth it if you want something different... Based on specifications alone it seems like a bargain compared to the Prado but there are too many uncertainties like reliability and resale for to to consider this a front runner. It's looks are polarizing - like every other Ssangyong model! Needs a bit more publicity and public comment before it will ever be a major brand outside its home country. If you like it why not try it??? Note that specifications will change according to
the trim models available and additional or less accessories.
You should check the official Ssangyong website for your country for
the most up to date information. |
