Little features….make
a big difference
The SsangYong Rexton
treats you to a sumptuous spread of comforts that would make any hi-end saloon
envious. It offers, amongst others, Cruise Control at the press of a
lever located conveniently on the steering wheel. An Electric Sunroof to
bask in the glory of the sun. The not-so-little things that tell you a lot
about the Rexton. It’s crafted with the greatest care for people who truly
appreciate excellence and simply love an indulgent drive!
Stay in control in all circumstances…Safety.
The
Ssangyong Rexton by Mahindra comes equipped with multiple advanced active and
passive safety systems. At the heart of the SsangYong Rexton is the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which
constantly monitors the movement and direction of the car and initiates
remedial action as soon as it detects loss of control.
Hill Descent Control
identifies steep inclines and engages itself to assist the vehicle down a steep
slope with caution. That aside the SUV also has Anti Rollover Protection, which
closely monitors a range of parameters and identifies potentially dangerous
driving conditions that could lead to the vehicle rolling over. Well before the
situation becomes threatening, it causes the ESP system to intervene and
control the vehicle speed, thereby restoring stability.
Passengers
will feel safe ensconced in the cocoon that is the cabin of the Ssangyong
Rexton with multiple airbags (dual
front and side airbags). As if that wasn’t enough, it also comes with side
impact beams and thoughtfully located front and rear crumple zones. Additionally,
the Rexton has an engine immobiliser and door ajar warning system as well.
Last
but not least, the Ssangyong Rexton by Mahindra offers reassuring service
support backed by Mahindra’s extensive service network, with a warranty of 2 years/100,000km
and 24x7 road side assistance for one year. This ensures a hassle free
ownership experience.
