The 2022 SsangYong Rexton four-wheel-drive SUV range has expanded, with the announcement of a new range-topping, limited-edition variant later this year.

SsangYong has added a Black Edition to the seven-seater Rexton line-up, which gains a number of styling upgrades on top of the Ultimate’s features, as well as new LED front fog lights.

Available from August 2022 and priced at $1595 above the Rexton Ultimate, the Black Edition can be ordered in either Pearl White or Space Black for no extra cost – normally a $495 option.

The Rexton range is powered exclusively by a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine, which primarily sends 148kW and 441Nm to the rear wheels through an eight-speed auto.

Inside, the driver is greeted with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, while infotainment comes via an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The SsangYong Rexton enjoyed a resurgence since its facelift, with sales growing by 182 per cent in 2021, making it the 10th fastest-selling model in Australia last year.
