SsangYong has revealed the all-new Rexton W CSX as a contender in the light commercial vehicle sector.

Based on the Rexton W model, the new commercial vehicle is powered by SsangYong’s own 2.0-litre turbo charged e-XDi200 diesel engine, which is mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

When going off road, the driver can select low range which also splits the torque equally between front and rear axles to provide all-round traction and ensure optimum grip across the most challenging terrain.

The model features a flat load area accessed via a high lifting tailgate and two side doors, and packing a useful 2.2cu metre load volume. There’s a load deck length of 1,700cm, with 107cm between the wheel arches.  It also carries 615kg and has a three-tonne towing capability.

The cabin includes cruise control, air conditioning, electrically operated & heated door mirrors, leather covered steering wheel and gear knob and CD & RDS radio with iPod and Bluetooth connectivity.

Chief executive of SsangYong Motor UK Paul Williams said:  “With prices starting from only £18,495 (ex VAT), the new Rexton W CSX has an almost unrivalled position in the LCV sector.

“Built on a ladder chassis, Rexton W is a serious off-roader yet with all the equipment and creature comforts you would expect to find in a SsangYong and at such an amazing price point. Not only do you get a lot of vehicle for the money but also the reassurance of an industry-leading 5 year limitless mileage warranty for complete peace of mind.”

Available with a five-year limitless mileage warranty, the Rexton W CSX is priced from £18,495 ex VAT.
