2021 Ssangyong Rexton vs. Kia Mohave(Borrego) "Finding the Best Off-road SUV!" 

I think in Australia me too i may go smaller rims bigger tyres though. Impressive vehicle though

You need to test drive, it is beyond expectations. 10000% satisfaction guaranteed, I went last week and planning to buy cash.

Бро, владею кайроном с 2013 , и ты правильно сделал что стал фанатом SsangYong

Compared to toyota fortuner? Which is more reliable?

@@amrashraf9559 actually the 2.8 litre turbo diesel Fortuner was known for DPF issues causing it to go into limp mode. So yes, I'd say the current gen Rexton has proven to be more reliable than the Fortuner. Also, in Australia a similar spec Fortuner is about 15K more expensive than the Rexton. I don't dislike Toyotas. We had a hilux, it was fine. But if you're seriously asking me if I would go a Rexton over a Fortuner then the answer is yes I would. Fortuner is still better than a D90 though.

Fellow Aussie here. I own a 2019 Musso, which is basically a dual cab ute version of the Rexton, and it has been a trooper. I have done over 80,000 km on mine, mostly between Armidale NSW, and Newcastle NSW, and it hasn't missed a beat. Ssangyongs are the most underrated vehicles on the market. They have everything to take on the big boys, just not marketed well. A bit of good news is a Korean bus manufacturer just bought out Ssangyong. I hope they get it right this time, because SAIC and Mahindra completely failed Ssangyong before. Also worth noting, the Musso has the same automatic gearbox (6-speed AISIN) as the Fortuner (as well as D-Max, Hilux, MUX, current BT-50, and Triton). The current Rexton has a Hyundai 8-speed gearbox, the 2018-2020 one had a Mercedes 7-speed gearbox.

Australian here too. Rexton is a great car

is it more comfortable than Mercedes or Volvo u own?

@@sairoadways4365 yes, great car, very comfortable, can drive for 11 hours in a day with one 10 min stop to refuel no problem

@@sairoadways4365 it's on par with its korean competitors hyundai and KIA definitely. It's like an American car when you get in. I really hope they find a parent home as they've been struggling the last decade wih finding one. I own a 2019 one and I couldn't been happier. I'm a Taxi man and this car is huge and it's great for my work.

You’ve obviously never met Korean girls before...🤔 But she is alright

Will see you out on the road. Planning on doing the lap from august.

U recommend the car ?

Thank you for watching :-)

Thanks for watching!

This Rexton actually looks way better than the first gen.

@@damilolaakanni For sure it does. This is actually like the fourth gen Rexton or something. It's been around for a long time here in Korea.

Thank you for watching :-)

rexton is better trust me , it has inidan tech now coz mahindra own ssangyong

Thank you for watching!

Totally agree with you.

maybe it's a chance to get this cheap as it is suv for a half price

Update: It's been bought by KG a korean steel company. Let's hope this one holds.

Glad you liked the video :-)

Agreed bro

Isn't it presently owned by Mahindra&Mahindra ?

Fortunatelly they haven't. I wrote that, because I don't exactly like what's going with JLR. New Defender have way too much electronics for off-road vehicle. F-Type facelift looks worse. New XJ is going to be an ev.

You mean Mahindra & Mahindra who are dumping Ssangyong right now?

@@MarthaMansbridge ya unfortunately I mean the same

It is a shame that this car is going out from Indian market. Indian buyers are over obsessed with Toyota Fortuner which is so much inferior compared to this car. I own the pre facelift version available in Indian market ( called Alturas G4) and boy what a car it is! I have driven fortuner many times and when I just casually took test drive of this car last year, I had fallen in love with the car because it was far better than Fortuner.

@@jhakasgmail Ride quality & Handling is the only issue in Alturas G4. Ride quality & cabin Quality is the issue with Fortuner. 😂

@@framex.jpg165 Few youtube auto channels have done negetive publicity about its ride and handling. Believe me.. even if I cross 170kmph with this car, I hardly feel it. RU-vidrs have to ultimately give pros and cons so they highlight issues as if the issues are so major. But it's not noticeable, especially considering the size of the car which is even bigger than fortuner. Only issue that I feel against it was that Mahindra failed to market it well. The competition has deep roots in this market and to break it is difficult unless Mahindra had a great strategy which was clearly missing. Again... It is very unfortunate that Indian buyers are too obsessed with brand value and don't try a good product. People like me who try them.. Indian manufacturers also distance themselves with them 😢

Indeed, have one too, great SUV.

🥰

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback, how is the suspension on bumpy terrain/roads?

@@dncviorel terrain is smooth, on-road is littel hard

@@mong6295 Can you compare it with more expensive German SUV, like Audi-BMW-Mercedes, is there a big difference against such brands? Thank you again!

@@dncviorel it's a bang for your buck!

@@mong6295 Very interesting, thanks!

Congrats! Enjoy your new ride 😄

Thank you for watching :-)

Good for you! Enjoy your new ride~

Saludos desde Corea del Sur! Happy New Year!

Its a sorento and is sold in europe

@@michaelbausachverstandiger5172 Herr Bausachverständiger, ist er eben nicht. Informier dich erstmal. IT is not the Kia Sorento. Do your homework.

@@stefanfalldorf6573 Why you call me Bausachverständiger? Deceived by my nick? Why so aggressive? Boring life you have? A simple hint would have done it.

@@michaelbausachverstandiger5172 Sorento is monococque crossover since second gen and it's a close relative to Santa Fe.

Thanks for the tip but the test was not for offroad skill. We needed to test pure climbing capability of each model. So we entered at same speed and checked how 4wd system handles it. We stopped and relaunched them and just one car made it. Momentum is always the key in offroading but low gear does not mean losing momentum. -From Jeep instructor

@@bhuikang make sense. Thanks for the reply

@@bhuikang Then probably the low range in the Rexton has a shorter gear ratio than the low range in the mohave which means the rexton will have a higher wheel speed at low range which is why the rexton attained better momentum for that sand climb. The low range in the mohave follows taller gear ratios which means lower wheel speed for crawling efficiently over solid rocks and boulders. Try this on one of the most capable 4x4 i.e the land rover defender, it would suffer a similar problem. Try the rexton over large boulders, it wouldn't perform as good as the mohave. High range in 4x4s with taller gear ratios are provided in order to get going over higher momentum stuffs.

I think you'll find the rexton's auto rear diff lock engaged once there was slippage between the left and right wheels. The Rexton is a good and underestimated machine. I'm considering one here in Australia, I'm comparing it to a Toyota Prado. Rexton is lovely to drive, great review guys.

I don't have any information on that

Thanks for watching :-)

My new Rexton has arrived, very good product and thanks for the information.

@@MsHasell Enjoy your new ride!

Yes, the Rexton offers you tilt & telescope for adjustment :-)

Not anymore. They are using an e-XDi220 LET (code number: 672980) engine for this Rexton :-)

@@MotorgraphWorld yes. Mahindra owns all its patent rights and copyrights. It's manufactured at India plant.... Ford has made a JV with Mahindra a year ago to use Mahindra engines for all it's cars for Indian market and export to other countries. It's a proof for its quality of engines. But due to pandemic situation and other reasons JV got cancelled now.

Not at the moment

Doubt that, especially after 2019 facelift they sell it only with diesel engine.

No we cant see it.... mahindra discontinued rexton in india wtf😭😭😭😭

What makes it better with 6 holes?

It looks dated, because it's not completly new. The 2019 lifting updated the car, but it's not that different compared to the original from 2008. Back then it was generic looking suv, but if I had to spend my money - I'd choose Kia over Explorer, Pathfinder or Trailblazer.

Nah man made by ssangyong long time ago..

Mahindra is a crap

@@hanwhaeagles sir, now all engines are made by Mahindra ... They r world class. Ssyongyong uses Mahindra engines from 2021 onwards. Mahindra has a R&D center in Italy and Detroit USA. It built a electric racing team from the scratch and competing with the best companies in the world. Look at the Rome e Prix result Alex Sims (very AVG driver) has achieved runner position with Mahindra made race car. It's the capacity of Mahindra. It also owns Pinninfarina. Pinninfarina is building world first and fastest hyper electric car with the complete help of Mahindra racing facility and technology. It's under testing phase by Nick Hedfield, Mahindra racing test driver. Respect it......

Exactly 🙂
