The SsangYong Rexton gets a new interior design for 2024, as well as a new mid-spec Adventure model.
It’s on sale this month, with vehicles already arriving in Australia.
There’s a new dashboard with a larger, free-standing 12.3-inch touchscreen display and touch-capacitive climate control switchgear.
The air vents are now horizontally oriented and “hidden” within a trim element stretching across much of the dashboard. USB-C outlets also replace USB-A ones.

But the Rexton is unchanged mechanically, and continues to miss out on adaptive cruise control.
The base ELX is now $2000 more expensive but it has lost some standard equipment.
Fabric upholstery replaces leatherette, while it no longer has heated and ventilated front seats or heated rear seats.
The Adventure adds a power tailgate, heated steering wheel, speed-sensitive power steering, and tyre-pressure monitoring.
All models use an unchanged 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine producing 150kW of power and 441Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel drive system.
However, SsangYong says the Rexton has new lower body mounts to give it a “more rounded feel from secondary ride inputs”.
