SsangYong Rexton Named 'Best Value 4X4 2019' In 4X4 Magazine 4X4 Of The Year Awards - Again!

January 11, 2019 by SsangYong

Hard on the heels of winning the 'Best Value' award for its Musso pick-up truck, SsangYong has collected yet another 'best value' award - this time for its Rexton 4x4 which has been named as the 'Best Value' off-roader for an unprecedented second year running in the '4x4 of the Year 2019' Awards.

Said Nick Laird, managing director of SsangYong Motor UK: 'Winning one 'best value' award is quite an achievement, but three? To say we are delighted is an understatement!

'For two new vehicles on the market to win such plaudits so soon after launch speaks volumes about the products. The SsangYong brand has always represented value which is expressed as low price, high levels of equipment, great build-quality and a market leading 7-year/150,000 mile warranty. SsangYong likes to think of itself as 'Korea's Land Rover', and it's tremendous to win such recognition from independent journalists who really know their subject!'

Commented Alan Kidd, editor of 4x4 magazine: 'The SsangYong Rexton startled a lot of people this time last year by winning the overall title and being named 4x4 of the Year 2018. Its exceptional value for money was only one of the reasons for this - as we said at the time, its build quality, equipment and cabin design mean it would be a convincing proposition at a far higher price.

'That's why it also won the Best Value award last year - and why it retains that award for 2019. Not only is it cheap to buy, it now comes with a longer warranty than ever. To win back-to-back awards in a year when it gained some incredibly strong rivals shows just what a stunning deal the Rexton represents.'

Heralding major advances in style, quality, safety and technology for the brand, the all-new Rexton, SsangYong's flagship SUV 4x4 was launched just over a year ago.

Impressing with its sheer presence and beautifully balanced exterior, Rexton is a large D/E-segment four-wheel drive offering a prestige cabin for passengers to travel in supreme comfort, while disguising its tough and rugged off-road capability.

About the 4x4 Awards

For more than 25 years, 4x4 magazine's 4x4 of the Year awards have been the definitive barometer of the 4x4 market. They started at a time when every 4x4 was a traditional off-road workhorse and have developed into the modern era of SUVs and crossovers, growing with the market to represent a major ongoing assessment programme conducted by some of Britain's most experienced 4x4 specialists.
