CarTell take
We haven't driven the Rexton yet. On paper, 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.
Why consider it
- 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.
What to know
- 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.
Who it suits
Tow rigs after a 3,500 kg ladder-chassis 4WD, big families needing a real seven-seater from $46,990 drive-away, bush tourers wanting low range and a diff lock, and warranty buyers chasing 7 years unlimited km.
