The exterior of the KGM Rexton balances rugged off-road capability with a stylish, modern look. It features dynamic lines, a commanding front grille, and sophisticated LED lamps, giving it a bold yet elegant road presence. Whether you’re driving through urban areas or navigating country roads, the Rexton’s design ensures it stands out while maintaining its practical 4x4 heritage​.

Practicality is a key strength of the Rexton. It offers flexible seating arrangements that can easily adapt to your needs. With a 7-seat configuration, it’s ideal for larger families, and the rear rows can be folded down in multiple ways, making it simple to switch between passenger space and cargo room. Whether you're on a family road trip or running errands, the Rexton provides ample room and ease of use​.

In terms of boot space, the Rexton offers a generous capacity. With all seats up, you get around 240 litres, which is practical for light day-to-day use. However, when you fold down the third and second rows, you can expand the boot to a massive 1,806 litres, making it perfect for carrying larger items, whether it's luggage for a family holiday or gear for outdoor activities​. The split-folding rear seats (60:40 and 50:50) enhance flexibility, allowing you to transport long items without compromising on passenger seating.

The KGM Rexton boasts a refined, premium interior that combines comfort with advanced technology. The spacious cabin is upholstered with high-quality materials, offering ample space for up to seven passengers. A key highlight is the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keeping passengers connected. The digital instrument cluster enhances driving convenience, while features like heated and ventilated seats, multi-zone climate control, and ambient lighting provide luxury. Safety and convenience are enhanced by a 360-degree camera system and hands-free power tailgate.

The KGM Rexton is available in three trim levels: K30, K40 and K50.

K30 Trim

The K30 is the entry-level trim but still boasts an impressive interior with faux leather seats, adding a luxurious touch. It features an 8-way adjustable driver’s seat and a 9-inch infotainment system equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration. This trim also includes dual-zone climate control, ensuring a comfortable environment for both driver and passengers, regardless of outside weather conditions.

K40 Trim

The K40 takes things up a notch with luxurious Nappa leather seats and additional tech features such as a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. This trim also introduces a 360-degree camera for easier and safer parking, along with a powered tailgate, which opens automatically when the key fob is near the vehicle. Heated front and rear seats, along with ventilated front seats, are added for extra comfort.

K50 Trim

At the top of the range, the K50 trim brings even more premium features. It offers quilted Nappa leather with suede details, providing a more opulent feel. The K50 also includes the full suite of safety features like Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Warning, and a 3D around-view monitoring system. This trim is designed for those who want the ultimate in comfort, technology, and safety.

The new KGM Rexton delivers a solid balance of power and performance, especially for those seeking a robust SUV with strong off-road capabilities. This seven-seater is powered by a reliable 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine, which produces 202 PS and 441 Nm of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Rexton ensures a smooth and responsive driving experience both on and off the road. The engine is tuned for low-end torque, making it ideal for towing heavy loads, with an impressive towing capacity of up to 3,500 kg.

The driving experience is enhanced by several advanced features, including selectable driving modes (Normal, Sport, Winter), which allow for a tailored driving style depending on the conditions. The part-time four-wheel-drive system offers excellent stability on difficult terrain, with a low-range gearbox for challenging off-road situations.

In terms of engine options, the Rexton comes with one primary engine offering, a 2.2-litre diesel unit available across its trim levels: K30, K40, and K50. Each variant offers similar power, but with differing levels of luxury and additional features, from quilted Nappa leather upholstery to larger 20-inch alloy wheels on the top-spec models. Overall, the new Rexton provides a powerful driving experience with the versatility to handle both daily commutes and more demanding adventures, making it a standout choice in the SUV market.
