Ssangyong extends Musso and Rexton warranty to 7 years

Ssangyong has announced it is extending its standard warranty from five to seven years on its Rexton and Musso models.

The new offer, introduced to coincide with the launch of the all-new Musso pickup truck covers vehicles for seven years or 150,000 miles.

“We believe in the strength of our new truck,” said Nick Laird, managing director of Ssangyong Motor UK, “so we’re announcing this new warranty which will also apply to Rexton on which Musso is based.

“No other pick-up or SUV comes with such comprehensive reassurance, and without the small-print of so many other manufacturer warranties.”

The new warranty also applies to the latest version of the Rexton SUV and can be applied retrospectively to all new Rextons sold since launch.

The new warranty can also be applied to all other models in the Ssangyong range purchased since January 1, 2018 but comes at a cost of £500.

Ssangyong says the warranty is designed to be totally transparent. It covers all the major mechanical components 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 12,500 miles, and the battery and paintwork for three years.

Customers wishing to apply the upgrade can do so at their dealership or at their next service.
