The basis of the SsangYong lineup is SUVs and crossovers. These are solid cars designed for consumers with different financial possibilities. They are popular and are available in different countries. For those who want to buy a car with a high level of comfort, well suited SsangYong Rexton is the company's flagship model. A decent level of dynamics of this rather heavy, weighing about two tons, machine is provided by the installation of powerful and efficient power units. They are based on technologies such recognized leader automotive industry, like Daimler-Benz, with which SsangYong successfully cooperated in the eighties of the twentieth century. Unpretentious and reliable, Rexton engines are constantly being improved and meet all modern technical requirements.

Rexton engines

Starting with the cars of the first releases, Rexton was equipped with a gasoline power unit with a working volume of 2.3 liters and a power of 150 hp. With. It has the brand designation E23, and in later versions - G23D, but, in fact, it is a modification of the well-known Mercedes-Benz M111.970 engine and most of their parts are interchangeable. So be upset if you don’t find branded components from South Korea, not worth it. Overhead valve block head and hydraulic compensators cast from aluminum alloy. The camshaft is driven by a chain. Fuel supply is carried out through a system of distributed injection. Compliance achieved in latest versions environmental standard Euro 4.

Having passed the next restyling, the SUV seriously gained weight, and the capabilities of the gasoline power unit were not enough. At the moment, the Rexton 2.3 engine has finally given way to diesel engines.

Diesel units

Diesel engines Rexton 2 was also created on the technological based on Mercedes-Benz. Initially, a five-cylinder engine equipped with a fuel injection system was developed. common rail and turbocharged, which received the internal designation D27. It turned out to be successful and was modified several times. To date, the Rexton 2.7 engine is available in two versions that differ in compression ratio and volume.

D27DT

With a working volume of 2696 cubic centimeters, such a unit produces 165 hp. With. at 4000 rpm. To his design features can be attributed:
Cast iron cylinder block with stiffeners. It has a solid resource and does not cause any problems during the entire period of operation. The main thing is to use antifreeze that meets the standards specified in the instructions and change it in a timely manner. This will help to avoid corrosion and deposits inside the channels of the cooling system.

The cylinder head is multi-valve, with two camshafts driven by a chain. Like all multi-valve block heads, it is sensitive to overheating. When worn or damaged camshafts and their beds, the entire assembly must be replaced.
Lubrication system, on early models the power unit, which contained 8.3 liters, was slightly increased. Today, 8.5 liters of oil will have to be poured into the engine. This is the fee for operating a turbocharged power unit designed to work in off-road conditions. When choosing an oil for replacement, you should pay attention not only to the viscosity of the oil, but also to its standard. Some cars are equipped with particulate filters. Due to violation technical requirements these filters may fail.

Common rail fuel supply system. Rigid environmental requirements forced engineers to abandon the previously widespread cam injection pumps, which not only created working pressure, but were also responsible for the timely supply of fuel to the cylinders. Today, the pump only pumps fuel into the rail, to which electronically controlled nozzles are connected. It is this system, made according to Delphi technology, that is installed on diesel engines. Rexton engines. In general, it is reliable, but the quality of diesel fuel affects its resource and performance. During operation, the nozzles tend to stick to the seats, which creates problems when dismantling them. Difficulties can be avoided if new car remove the injectors and lubricate their seats with graphite grease.

The blower turbine is electronically controlled. Its geometry changes depending on the load. Although the catalogs invariably indicate the unit with the factory marking SsangYong, in reality the machines are equipped with Garrett turbines, a recognized specialist in the production of components for injection systems. Despite the reliability of this node, certain problems are associated with its operation. The system for adjusting the parameters of the turbine involves solenoid valves connected to the atmosphere through special filters. For unknown reasons, developers from South Korea abandoned the proven solution of their German colleagues. The filters are made of sponge plastic and, as conceived by the designers, they can only be replaced together with an expensive valve. When they become clogged with dirt, the injection system starts to work intermittently. Installing replacement Mercedes-Benz filters for valves of a similar design helps to solve the problem.

To increase the resource of the turbine, it makes sense to additionally install a turbo timer. Normally, such a device is not installed.

The reliability of the D27DT engine and a successful design made it possible to create more powerful modification.

D27DTP

The main difference between this power unit and the D27DT model is an increased degree of injection. She adds Horse power- there are 186 of them, but it reduces the resource of the motor. If you are ready to sacrifice it for the sake of improving dynamics and increasing top speed, then you should take a car equipped with the D27DTP engine.

Structurally perfect, five-cylinder diesel engines volume of 2.7 liters for some operating conditions were found to be redundant. In an effort to reduce production costs and reduce the operating costs of car owners, Sanyeng engineers shortened the engines of the D27 family by one cylinder. The result is a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1998 cc. see He received the factory designation D20.

The car made its debut in 2001, exactly ten years after the conclusion of an agreement on technical cooperation. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Korean SUV is saturated with German technology. Its engines and gearboxes are assembled under license from Mercedes-Benz. A closer examination reveals that wheelbase and the track is exactly the same as the parameters of the first generation M-class. There is also a noticeable external resemblance. The Rexton suit, sewn in the Ital-Design studio, is very reminiscent of the Mercedes clothes in its cut, hardly inferior in solidity and elegance. And the “San Yong” began to look completely German after restyling in 2007, having received new front lights, an elegant radiator grille and getting rid of an excessive amount of chrome in the finish.

In terms of interior comfort, quality of materials and equipment, “Rex” also does not lag behind the German ideological inspirer. The arsenal for off-road driving is also impressive, including, depending on the version, not only the “parquet” AWD system without mechanical locks, but also more competent on difficult roads. four-wheel drive with hard-wired front wheels and transmission TOD (“torque on demand”) with reduction gear and lock center differential. In general, no matter how you look at it, there are pluses everywhere. One thing is alarming - in the secondary market, "Rextons" are cheaper than more compact "SUVs" of the same years of production. I wonder why.

Body and its electrical equipment

Many "Rextons" living in Moscow suffer greatly from the effects of anti-icing salts and solutions. Spots of rust come out on the HOOD, TRUNK LID, WINDSHIELD FRAME and the inner cavities of the WINGS. Moreover, it is not only cars that are guilty of this, which from the fall of 2006 to full cycle, that is, with welding and painting parts, they are produced in Naberezhnye Chelny. Similar sores are also found on SUVs made in Korea. Most likely, the reason for the poor corrosion resistance of the body lies in the low quality of the steel. The paintwork warranty is only valid for the first three years from the date of purchase.

Also, mechanics note the mediocre quality of wiring and electrical connections. It is not uncommon for the moving parts of the driver's seat skid to fray the HEATING CUSHION wires, causing the entire heating element to be replaced. From time to time, the IMMOBILIZER stops “recognizing” the ignition key. In this case, it will be possible to start the car only at the service using a special program, retraining the keys. But this does not always help, and then you need to change the immobilizer itself. Sometimes OUTDOOR AIR TEMPERATURE SENSORS die, providing correct work climate control. However, freon-permeable O-RINGS in the connections of the air conditioner discharge line can often be the cause of the problem. They change along with the tubes, and, of course, in this case, repairs are expensive.

Transmission

Of the three all-wheel drive systems most reliable mechanics recognize the universal TOD with automatically connected front wheels, but only in combination with manual box gears. It is wiser to refuse to buy a car with “AUTOMATIC”. The 4-speed unit of the Australian company BTR Automotive, installed on the version with a 2.3-liter gasoline engine, as well as on the XDi modification until 2006, often wears out clutches by 50-60 thousand. In a more recent 5-speed gearbox produced by Koreans under license from ZF, combined with diesel and 3.2-liter gasoline engines, it happens that the ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT dies. By the way, just because of the low reliability of this particular box, the only one possible on the Rexton with permanent all-wheel drive, we would not recommend this option to you.

As for the simplest part-time system with a hard-wired axle, the weak point here is the FRONT CLUTCH. The so-called hubs can fail even with very small runs (up to 10,000 km) and even on those Rextons whose owners rarely go off-road.

Engines

Not everything is safe with Rexton and with motors. Of all the power units, the most unpretentious and durable can be called a gasoline V-shaped “six” with a volume of 3.2 liters. When refueling with high-quality fuel, there are practically no problems with it. What can not be said about her 2.3-liter sister. It happened that due to a defect in the BLOCK HEAD GASKET, namely its thin jumper, antifreeze got into the fourth cylinder, as a result of which there were problems with starting, and the engine was unstable before warming up.

The diesel XDi and its younger and more powerful brother XVT have essentially the same troubles. Both lose thrust due to poor ELECTRICAL CONTACTS on the injectors, VALVE failures in the exhaust gas recirculation system and turbine control. But these are, as they say, flowers. The owners of "Rexton" are facing much greater expenses for the failure of the high-pressure fuel pump. Oddly enough, but Delphi gear pumps most often fly on a simpler and less powerful 165-horsepower XDi unit. And it would be nice to get by with the installation of only one new fuel pump high pressure. The metal shavings of its worn gears often clog the entire fuel system, therefore, it is also necessary to replace the nozzles, high pressure fuel pipes and flush the tank. But to prove that the failure of the pump is associated with a factory defect, and not with poor quality fuel, you know, is extremely difficult.

Chassis and steering

It would seem that the suspension of a real all-terrain vehicle should be distinguished by an enviable margin of safety, but Rexton is far from an excellent student in this matter. For example, the lower BALL JOINTS of the front levers still rarely take care of more than 30,000 km. Moreover, there was a time when dealers obliged the owners to change the supports at each MOT (nowadays only a check is required). And for good reason - it happened that due to the critical wear of a part, the wheel broke, just like on the Zhiguli. Other frankly weak points include TIE ROD END, STABILIZER BUSHINGS, REAR AXLE BEARINGS. Albeit not often, but because of the collapsed REDUCER, the mechanics also changed the entire bridge.

The front brake pads live for a commendable long time, up to 50 thousand, but the ABS UNIT can fail much earlier. And often the PARKING BRAKE CABLES that turn sour after a couple of years of operation, bursting PIPES and TANK, leaks of the POWER STEERING itself are obvious evidence of a low production culture. Frankly, with this kind of breakdown foreign cars we haven't met for a long time. meanwhile replace the same ball joints and axle shafts under warranty is only possible within a year from the date of purchase. Dealers, as a rule, refuse owners of older cars, referring to the wording from service book“about parts that failed due to natural wear and tear”.

For those who are looking for power, swiftness and originality of style, Korean engineers created the SsangYong Rexton SUV. Courageous, individual, but at the same time an attractive car has a lot of advantages and is able to become like family car for work and leisure trips, as well as a representative member of the business family. Convenience, comfort and high cross-country ability are indispensable attributes of the model.

The stylish and thoughtful design of the SsangYong Rexton catches the eye on city roads. A courageous and dynamic SUV stands out from the stream with its originality and originality of lines. Strict, and at the same time, the impulsive character of the car is emphasized by expressive front optics.

Interior

In the interior of the SsangYong Rexton SUV, everything is subordinated to functionality and comfort, while the engineers managed to create the most ergonomic driving position. As additional option for cars, a third row of seats is offered, which will make long journey great company pleasant and memorable.

Through the use of high-quality finishing materials and modern design solutions in the SsangYong Rexton salon, they managed to create an exquisite interior with a claim to real luxury. The center console turned out to be both simple and concise, while attractive. This was achieved by moving most of the control buttons to the multifunctional steering wheel. Made in the style of maximum convenience and dashboard, which provides the driver with full access to information without distracting from the control of the machine.

Additional convenience is provided by a large number of niches and pockets that allow you to place a large number of small things necessary on the road. However, they have no effect on volume. free space in the cabin. Used air conditioner not only maintains the desired temperature in the cabin, but also provides protection against the penetration of smoke, burning and foreign odors, keeping the air clean.

The cabin provides a large number of little things that increase comfort. For example, the driver's seat, when the key is pulled out of the lock, moves back on its own, making it easier to get out of the car, and when the key is inserted, it drives closer. All this is complemented by a built-in memory system that remembers the position of seats and mirrors for each specific driver. The integrated USB connector allows you to play music in MP3 format.

Safety

The SsangYong Rexton car offers a caring attitude towards human safety, and has integrated system active and passive protection.

Active safety

SsangYong Rexton offers its owners not only attractiveness appearance and comfort in the cabin, but also a high degree of safety, which is achieved, among other things, through the use of a large number of active systems. At the heart of everything is the system exchange rate stability(ESP), which provides stable control of the car in any situation, while the system independently makes adjustments to the actions of the brakes and the engine in order to maintain stability on the road. Together with ESP system in conjunction, anti-slip and anti-lock system, as well as a rollover warning system. The effectiveness of the brakes is ensured by the use of a booster emergency braking, triggered at hard pressing pedals all the way.

The safety of the car has also been improved when driving on slopes, where the electronics independently regulate the brake forces and the size of the engine thrust, ensuring a smooth descent with a significant inclination of the roadway. It also provides for blocking the doors in motion, which will not allow children to open the door on the move.

Passive safety

The body of the SUV is designed in such a way that the impact force in a collision is distributed over a large surface and damped by structural elements, providing greater protection to people in the cabin. The presence of a solid frame with spars increases the overall stability of the structure to mechanical damage and at the same time increases the service life of the machine. Steel stiffening ribs are also provided in the doors, which avoids serious damage during side impacts. Additional protection on the front seats provide front and side airbags, paired with belt pretensioners, securely fixing a person before opening the airbag. The system provides that during the process of opening the airbag, the pretensioners are released, releasing some of the energy and ensuring that there is no excess pressure after the impact.

Engine

The SsangYong Rexton SUV is offered to customers with three diesel engine options. Basic option has a 2.0XDi engine, which, due to turbocharging, provides 155 horsepower. According to its characteristics, the motor is one of the most advanced in the world. His hallmarks is the minimum noise during operation and high traction characteristics, achieved in almost the entire speed range.

Those wishing to purchase a car more powerful, prepared a 2.7-liter diesel engine, made in versions 2.7XDi and 2.7XV. In the first case, the engine is equipped with an efficient turbocharger and produces 165 horsepower, and in the second case, a mechanical supercharger is also used, which makes it possible to increase output up to 186 forces with a maximum torque of up to 402 Nm. The use of modern technologies has made it possible to create efficient aggregates With high speed throttle response for maximum thrust output performance in most operating conditions. All this is combined with excellent indicators of reliability and unpretentiousness.

Transmission

The main transmission of the SsangYong Rexton SUV is an adaptive five-speed T-Tronic automatic transmission, offering lovers of a dynamic driving style to take advantage of the ability to shift gears in manual mode. The built-in intelligence system of the transmission is able to choose the optimal moment for changing gears, which not only makes the ride smoother and softer, but also optimizes the process of fuel consumption. Implemented in the transmission and a special mode "Winter", which provides a better start from a standstill when driving on a slippery surface.

Available for the car and manual transmission with six speeds. This transmission provides high definition work, reliability and ease of handling, allowing you to realize all the possibilities of power units.

All-wheel drive system

Depending on the engine used ssangyong SUVs Rexton also differ in the use of an all-wheel drive system, but in all versions it confidently copes with the tasks assigned to it.

Together with base engine 2.0XDi uses a Part-time 4WD system, providing a second axle connection if necessary. Such a system provides for the transmission of torque to both axles only when the machine is moving under load. The rest of the time, the car uses only the drive for rear axle which results in reduced fuel consumption. When all-wheel drive is working, the torque is distributed evenly between the axles.

There are three modes of operation in total:

• Rear wheel drive (2WD) is used under normal conditions on good roads.
• Four-wheel drive (4WD High) is used on wet or “frozen” roads, as well as off-road.
• Four-wheel drive (4WD Low) is used on very rough terrain and involves the use of low gears.

The 2.7XDi powertrain also has all-wheel drive with connection, but the change in torque distribution is made in automatic mode without the participation of the driver. The Torque On Demand system also provides three options for the operation of the drive, while the choice of the desired mode is carried out using a special switch. A feature of this option is the change in the value of the moment transmitted to the front axle in automatic mode. As much as 50% of the total moment can be directed to it. The choice of the optimal distribution of forces is made on the basis of algorithms that evaluate the degree of wheel slip during movement.

We talk about the weak points of the most affordable SUV with "Mercedes" power units, which was sold in Russia in three iterations for almost 15 years.

The SsangYong Rexton SUV has been officially sold in our country for almost a decade and a half since the beginning of the 2000s. During this time, the flagship model of a relatively young South Korean car brand although it did not become a bestseller in the Russian market and never even came close to the Top 10 most popular rogues, nevertheless it was distinguished by a small, but still stable demand.

Its buyers are not the cheapest among the "Asians", but a rather large and roomy SUV with all-wheel drive and a frame body structure attracted not only decent equipment, but also licensed "Mercedes" power units. A slight similarity in design with the cars of the Stuttgart auto giant also played into the hands of the solid Rexton. In particular, reminiscent of the "Mercedesovskuyu" grille. And now, 4 years after the model left the Russian market, when its new generation loomed on the horizon, we decided to find out how tenacious its predecessors turned out to be in our climate, and what to expect from such Rextons with mileage.

Complicated story

The South Korean SUV with a frame structure and all-wheel drive SsangYong Rexton debuted in 2001 in Frankfurt. The design of the model under the factory index Y200 was developed in Italy, in the eminent Italdesign bureau. The car was created during the partnership of the Korean brand with DaimlerChrysler. As a result of this friendship between the companies, the novelty received licensed Mercedes gasoline and diesel engines, which were aggregated with a 5-speed manual, an Australian 4-band automatic from BTR Automotive, and later with a 5-band automatic transmission from Daimler.

In 2006, the flagship rogue SsangYong was thoroughly modernized. The environmental friendliness of its motors was improved, appeared particulate filter and a turbine variable geometry. The updated flagship has changed the design of the front. So noticeable that the Koreans called the prettier SUV - Rexton II and assigned it a new Y250 index. On the eve of this big update - in December 2005 - the production of the model was launched at the facilities of Zavod small cars"(ZMA), where the Togliatti Oka was previously assembled.

In 2012, this generation, called by many the second generation of an SUV, was replaced by another - the third. Although the Y250 index of the model has not changed. Yes, and the essence of the car from the beginning of the "two thousandth" after the next modernization, too. During this restyling, Rexton received other bumpers, fenders, new optics with LEDs, other grille, hood and side mirrors, otherwise performed plastic body kit, revised interior. In this form, the rogue was sold with us until 2015, when SsangYong stopped producing the model in Tatarstan and took a time out on the Russian market.

"Resale"

It is possible to characterize the diversity of the Rextons of all three generations currently on the secondary market with the phrase “ real SUV must be diesel. Two-thirds of all used cars sold online are on heavy fuel ( 70% ) and only a third - gasoline ( 30% ). SUVs with a gun in the vast majority ( 81% ), and with mechanics, one might say, a rarity ( 19% ). The most common engine on used SsangYong Rexton is a 2.7 turbodiesel ( 67% ). Four times less than gasoline versions with a 2.3 engine ( 15% ) and even fewer top 3.2 ( 12% ). The rest is in short supply: 2.8 ( 3% ), 2.0 (2% ) and 2.9 ( 1% ).

Underbody problems

Many SsangYong Rexton SUVs, even the so-called first generation, despite their age, look very decent. Due to the good anti-corrosion protection of the body metal of these machines, they almost do not rust. True, the paintwork of the model is not very good. Chips on it are not uncommon. And if they are not painted over in a timely manner, then local centers of corrosion will certainly appear on the body of the SUV in these places. Most often, traces of the "red plague" can be found on the roof above the windshield, on the hood worth 31,900 rubles and the trunk door for 6,200 rubles.

Also appearance cars produced before the first restyling are spoiled by roof rails peeling off with age for 14,600 rubles and wiper leashes. And also peeling chrome on the radiator grille from 8900 rubles and protective pads wheel arches from 1600 rubles. But external traces of corrosion are not so bad. The frame of the car suffers much more from rust. Especially if she has never received additional protective treatment. In early examples, the corrosion of the frame can be so severe that it negatively affects its rigidity. The problem is aggravated by the fact that the frame number is often marked on the frame behind the right front wheel. Check its safety and legibility so that there are no difficulties when registering a car in the traffic police.

Peculiar engines

During sales in Russia, Rexton was equipped with three gasoline engines and the same number of turbodiesels. The car of the first generation was equipped with a 150-horsepower in-line gasoline "four" 2.3 MPI (G23) and a 200-horsepower "six" 2.8 MPI (G28). The top-end 220-horsepower 3.2 MPI (G32) was offered in all generations of the SUV from the very beginning. Also, the "first" Rexton was available with an archaic 120-horsepower diesel "turbo" 2.9 TDI (OM662LA). In 2004, the SUV received a 165-horsepower 2.7 diesel (D27DT), and since 2007, its more capable 186-horsepower "brother" (D27DTP). And finally, in 2012, the 155-horsepower “turbo-four” 2.0 (D20DT) joined the line.

Despite the fact that Rexton engines have a large margin of safety, they still cause trouble for their owners. Gasoline engines are afraid of overheating, and diesel engines suffer from poor quality fuel. The latter, due to the oil separator losing efficiency, require cleaning every 100,000 km intake manifold. Glow plugs are enough for about 30,000 km. Problems with diesel engines can arise with a converter from 13,000 rubles, an EGR valve for 2,800 rubles and a turbine from 29,000 rubles, which is enough for about 50,000 km. If the diesel smokes heavily and loses traction, then it's time for it to be serviced. But on the other hand, such motors have a reliable and durable piston group.

Yes, and high-pressure fuel pumps for 44,700 rubles with nozzles of 16,900 rubles go at least 150,000 km. The timing chain is survivable for everyone, except for the younger 2-liter diesel engine, in which it stretches to 130,000 km. Petrol units less troublesome. The key to their health and longevity - preventive measures against overheating. Namely: flushing the cooling radiator every two years with the replacement of a not very durable thermostat for 2200 rubles. A pump for 3200 rubles on the younger "four" runs about 40,000 km. How long does a tensioner live on average? drive belt for 9250 rubles. And at intervals of 60,000 - 70,000 km, it may be necessary to replace oil seals and head gaskets to prevent oil leaks.

Transmission

The most reliable on the "Rekston" 5-speed manual Dymos box TSM54. If there are no oil leaks on its body, and the bearing input shaft for 400 rubles, nursing up to 120,000 km, does not buzz, that is, it is still alive or has already been changed, then you should not expect any problems from this MCP. What can not be said about the 4-band Australian machine M74 from BTR Automotive, which was installed with a 2.9 diesel and gasoline engines 2.8 and 2.3. For those who like to drive on an SUV with a breeze, the clutches in the automatic transmission, wearing out over 60,000 km, clog the filter element for 1800 rubles, threatening the box oil starvation. Therefore, you need to change the oil along with the filter at least 60,000 km.

Paired with a 3.2 petrol "six" and 2.7 diesel engines, the good old "Mercedes" 5-speed automatic 722.6, known from other SsangYong models, is not bad. But he also has a lot of weaknesses. In particular, the Rextons of the first generation and Rexton SUVs II up to and including 2008, this box sometimes caused trouble due to problems with the electronic filling, which suffered from overheating and dirty oil. On later machines, the electronic unit has been upgraded and is less vulnerable. Each of three types all-wheel drive, available on the Rexton, has its own nuances.

The least problematic is the simplest part-time transmission with a hard front connection. On the machines of the first two generations, there were failures in the operation of the transfer case control unit, which was finalized in 2009. But the vacuum clutches for engaging the front axle at 9300 rubles each were the scourge of the Rexton of the first generation. They cease to perform their function, having lost their tightness, in just some two years. Connoisseurs prefer to change them to mechanical ones. The TOD (Torque-On-Demand) transmission, which automatically distributes torque along the axles, has its own “bouquet” of troubles. Over 60,000 km, the front hubs “die” for 12,800 rubles, oil seals and axle bearings require replacement for 1,000 rubles each.

Somewhere around 140,000 km in the BorgWarner razdatka, the chain for 16,300 rubles and clutches wear out, and corrosion can ruin the wiring, connectors and the drive motor of this unit. Cars with 2.7 and 3.2 engines, which have been equipped with a permanent all-wheel drive system since 2007, have no such difficulties with the transfer case. Because it is mechanical, without servos. But by 60,000 km in it, you may have to change the axle bearing for 2300 rubles. And at the front cardan shaft for 12,200 rubles, which initially lacks lubrication, from jerk for 70,000 km of run it can cut off the splines. Therefore, regular lubrication of the transmission with lubricant for this machine is not just necessary, but critical.

Here and there

In general, SsangYong Rexton of any generation is a moderately reliable car. The owner, who not only actively exploits, but also regularly maintains this SUV, is unlikely to suddenly fail in a big way. But minor problems with the car will nevertheless arise from time to time here and there. For example, the suspension can cause some trouble, which, alas, is not a standard of strength and durability for a large and heavy frame SUV. Least of all claims to the dependent rear with a continuous bridge. Its gearbox and axle bearings require lubrication renewal after 30,000 km.

Shock absorbers from 2,500 rubles go about 70,000 km, by this time the springs for 3,600 rubles also sag. In an independent rear multi-link, the situation is the same with sagging springs, and it also has rather weak hinges, silent blocks from 300 rubles and longitudinal rods of 1400 rubles each. They are usually enough for about 100,000 kilometers. Weakness front suspension - ball joints lower arms 800 rubles each, which wear out somewhere over 40,000 km. Squeaks and even a slight play when turning the steering wheel is a signal for their urgent replacement in order to avoid pulling out the support pin on a large bump or pit and subsequent breaking of the wheel.

A little longer than 100,000 km live brake hoses for 1500 rubles, losing their properties, and for diesel versions up to 120,000 km, it may require replacement vacuum booster brakes for at least 11,800 rubles. When inspecting and test driving the car, check the operation of the handbrake. In a few years, the handbrake cables can turn sour, disabling the entire mechanism. By the way, hydraulic booster hoses from 2000 rubles also sometimes have to be changed due to aging. They are especially vulnerable in winter. steering rack for 45,700 rubles, it often serves a little more than 100,000 km, reporting the need for repair by tapping the bushing and current oil seals. Yes, and the tie rod ends at this point also ask for an exit.

The Rexton electrics are not flawless. Over 50,000 km from dampness and reagents, the wiper motor on the tailgate dies for 3,000 rubles. By the same run, door locks may begin to act up due to wear. A generator for 13,500 rubles, serving about 120,000 km, suffers from acidification of the power wire, which can also break off. On diesel SUVs, you need to monitor the generator belt worth 600 rubles, weak tension which is capable of large-scale damage to both a freewheel for 4,000 rubles, dying to 80,000 km, and a battery from 5,000 rubles. The latter, in turn, due to low voltage in the on-board network can infuriate regular immobilizer which will immobilize the car for a long time.

How much?

Prices for Rextons start at 250,000 rubles for the very first pre-styling SUVs. Such cars, mainly with gasoline engines 2.3 and 3.2, have already managed to drive from 250,000 km to 300,000 km. Cars with a low-power diesel engine 2.9 are valued at least 330,000 rubles, and with a more modern 2.7 - from 390,000 rubles. SsangYong Rexton II with mileage cannot be bought cheaper than 430,000 rubles. And these are also cars with runs for 200,000 - 250,000 km.

Our choice

Buying a SsangYong Rexton of all three generations with mileage is not the most straightforward event. On the one hand, for that kind of money, you are unlikely to find on the secondary market many real ones comparable in size and equipment. frame SUVs, and even with almost "Mercedes" power units. On the other hand, the age of such machines and the absence of absolutely problem-free combinations of numerous engines and gearboxes. Plus, possible problems due to poor diesel fuel, lack of qualified service, or even its absence. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the choice and purchase of such a machine thoroughly and very seriously.

A complete diagnosis of all components and assemblies of the car is important to do before you "hit hands" with the seller, and not after, in order to avoid possible huge repair costs. We at Am.ru believe that the best option any gasoline Rexton of the last two generations with mechanics or with a 5-band automatic not older than 10 years can become a purchase. It also makes sense to consider SUVs with a 2.7 diesel engine with the same automatic transmission, but only with a confirmed service history with regular maintenance and a positive verdict after diagnosing the car in a qualified service. Such gasoline options in good condition with a range of up to 150,000 km can be found cheaper than 600,000 rubles, and diesel ones - from 500,000 rubles.
