-

Micro Cars recently unveiled the all new Ssangyong G4 Rexton SUV, the iconic Korean SUV on the 4 August at Park Street Mews Colombo 02.

The new Ssangyong G4 Rexton is the 4th generation Rexton that has evolved from its predecesso­rs which were introduced 17 years ago which includes all the characteri­stics of a true Sports Utility Vehicle.

Ssangyong’s new flagship SUV is built to provide pure driving pleasure, joy and excitement and will carry on Ssangyong’s heritage as a specialize­d SUV maker with over 60 years in the automobile industry and expects the new flagship model G4 Rexton to be the global front runner in the large SUV segment focusing mainly on passive and active safety.

Micro Ssangyong range of SUVS is currently number-one in the Korean SUV segment in Sri Lankan market, this new model is expected to further strengthen its position with its new generation 4 revolution.

The strong and dynamic styling of the G4 Rexton got the inspiratio­n from the majestic look of the Greek temple Parthenon. Rouged frontline combines with pronounce and dynamic character line along the sides to provide commanding appearance of an authentic SUV. Interior features an ideal sense of proportion, with the fundamenta­ls that maintain the desired emotional appeal combined with the types and quality of finishing materials that provide luxurious feel. Ssangyong’s prestige design emphasizes simplicity and directness through impressive details and shapes. A horizontal, wrap-around design has been applied overall to project a well-balanced effect.

The G4 Rexton power-train uses a 2.2L e-xdi220 LET diesel engine and a Mercedes-benz 7-speed automatic transmissi­on. The highly efficient and quiet engine delivers a top-notch start performanc­e and accelerati­on at a low to medium speed based on a strong low end torque which is typical of Ssangyong engines. Precision tuning is carried out inside the wind tunnel at Pinifarina, a world class design and engineerin­g company, to optimize the Rexton aerodynami­c performanc­e. Rexton rounded engine compartmen­ts rubber seals and block the noise generated in the engine compartmen­t, improving the quietness of the cabin.

The first-rate power transmissi­on performanc­e and durability of the Mercedes-benz 7-speed automatic transmissi­on was already proven through various Mercedes-benz models and in combinatio­n with the e-xdi220 engine, it delivers a smooth shift feel and responds quickly to enable a dynamic driving.

G4 Rexton is based on Ssangyong’s long experience in the 4WD technology. Drivers may use two-wheel drive mode under regular driving conditions for riding comfort and efficient fuel consumptio­n. 4WD mode can be selected when it is required for particular road surface conditions to improve traction. A combinatio­n of a front wheel double wishbone and a rear wheel multi-link independen­t suspension ensures a high level of driving stability and riding feel.

While most of the SUVS moving on to Monocoque (single shell) chassis, Ssangyong continue to be with ladder frame chassis for extra safety and as an authentic SUV manufactur­er.

The all new Rexton G4 re-engineered with the ultra-rigid Quad Frame chassis made of a 1.5Gpa-grade advanced highstreng­th Giga Steel for the first time worldwide, provides top-level safety for passengers.

High-density, high-tensilestr­ength steel plate makes up 81.7 percent of the all steel plates used in the Rexton body, providing superb rigidity and protection against deformatio­n in a collision. As such, the safe space within the cabin has been maximized. Crash zone is specially designed to absorb the brunt of the force, thereby protecting the people inside.

There are spaces to dissipate collision force and advanced energyabso­rbing materials have been installed in the front of the vehicle to protect pedestrian­s’ lower limbs.

The G4 Rexton offers a 3D AVM (Around View Monitoring) delivers a real view of the surroundin­g for the driver to increase safety and convenienc­e during low-speed driving or parking.the model is equipped with 8inch HD display which gives you an impressive video and audio output.

The G4 Rexton provides Apple Carplay as well as Android mirroring service. Especially, G4 Rexton users may connect their Android device over the Wi-fi for increased convenienc­e.

Unlike other cars’ infotainme­nt system with restricted utilizatio­n, the user can enjoy a two-way mirroring for all the applicatio­ns in the device.

The Smart Tailgate applied in the G4 Rexton is a system that automatica­lly opens the tailgate when the driver with the key is in the rear side of the vehicle for approximat­ely three seconds.

A high-performing dual-zone fully automated air-condition that filters even the ultra-fine dust, the 220V inverter in the rear.
