2026 KGM Rexton Price, Specs and Range

What is it?

The KGM Rexton is the renamed SsangYong Rexton, sharing its ladder chassis with the Musso ute. The 2.2-litre turbo-diesel makes 148 kW / 441 Nm through a Mercedes-sourced 8-speed automatic and part-time 4WD with low range. Seven seats are standard, braked tow is 3,500 kg, and warranty is 7 years unlimited km.

The lineup runs from Rexton ELX at $50,000 plus on-roads, through to Rexton Ultimate Black at $66,990 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 7 years, unlimited km.

Interior and Technology

Body-on-frame seven-seater with low range and a 3,500 kg braked tow rating at large-family-SUV money. Mercedes-sourced 8-speed auto and 7-year unlimited-km warranty are class-leading touches.

ANCAP rating dates to 2017 and a retest under the current protocol is overdue. 148 kW / 441 Nm is modest next to the MU-X 3.0 TD and Everest V6, and the body-on-frame ride feels truck-like on highway versus monocoque rivals.

The CarTell take

We have not driven this yet. On paper, here is how it stacks up.

Strongest suit on paper: Body-on-frame seven-seater with low range and a 3,500 kg braked tow rating at large-family-SUV money. Mercedes-sourced 8-speed auto and 7-year unlimited-km warranty are class-leading touches.
The trade-off: ANCAP rating dates to 2017 and a retest under the current protocol is overdue. 148 kW / 441 Nm is modest next to the MU-X 3.0 TD and Everest V6, and the body-on-frame ride feels truck-like on highway versus monocoque rivals.
Check before you buy: Confirm tow-ball weight and GVM margin against your trailer setup, the payload sits around 720 kg depending on accessories. Dealer network is smaller than Isuzu, Toyota and Ford.
Best suited to: Tow rigs after a 3,500 kg ladder-chassis 4WD, big families needing a real seven-seater inside $55,000 plus on-roads, bush tourers wanting low range and a diff lock, and warranty buyers chasing 7 years unlimited km.
