The Ssangyong Rexton Sports ute has been unveiled in South Korea, with sales slated to begin next week.
Forward of the B-pillar, the new Sports looks identical to the current Rexton SUV. Behind that point, the car features redesigned rear doors, a truncated passenger cabin and, of course, a cargo tray.
Under the bonnet is a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine. Although outputs are yet to be confirmed, the 2.2-litre mill develops 133kW of power and 420Nm of torque in the SUV.
A spokesman for Ssangyong’s Australian distributor, Ateco Automotive, told us there was “potentially some good new stuff” coming for the South Korean brand in 2016 but “nothing we are able to talk about yet”.
The most likely introduction is the updated Rexton SUV, which was introduced to the UK and Europe in December.
