The SSANGYONG REXTON (2003-07) 290 5DR STATION WAGON 2.9 D 165 S AUTO4 is a large, five-door diesel SUV, aimed at buyers wanting space and a more commanding driving position than a conventional estate. In the UK used-car market it is a less common, value-focused alternative to established big 4x4s such as the Mitsubishi Shogun and Land Rover Discovery. Its 2.9-litre diesel and automatic gearbox make it suited to relaxed longer journeys, while the roomy cabin and useful load space can work well for families, outdoor pursuits or drivers who regularly carry passengers and luggage. It is a substantial vehicle rather than an easy-to-park city runabout, and running costs may be higher than for a smaller family car. Mycarcheck.com has recorded nine checks across five VINs, so the sample is modest; averages show 91,000 miles, 5,000 miles a year, five previous keepers and a £1,500 private-sale value in these checks.
