The SsangYong Rexton is a full-sized SUV with seven seats and four-wheel drive that is intended to compete with the SEAT Tarraco and Kia Sorento at a lower cost. You can tell what kind of customers the brand is aiming for because when the Rexton was first introduced, SsangYong also stated that it was counting used Land Rover Discoveries among its rivals.
Only a 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel engine is available for the SsangYong Rexton, and given its size, it achieves respectable fuel efficiency. SsangYong claims that it will yield 32.9 mpg on the WLTP combined cycle, however in our tests, we were able to average about 33 mpg.
That's not bad, but we believe that if SsangYong could offer the Rexton with a hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain, it would be more attractive. For instance, the Kia Sorento can appeal to both urban and rural residents because it comes with both electrified and 2.2-liter diesel variants.
With a base automatic gearbox and optional four-wheel drive, the SsangYong Rexton returns 32.9 mpg.
SsangYong Rexton Fuel Consumption
With CO2 emissions of 225g/km, both models fall into the most costly Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) category, which is somewhat more than that of the Rexton's SUV competitors.
Because the Rexton is in the second-highest CO2 class, road tax will be costly. Because of this, we would also advise against choosing a Rexton if you are purchasing a company vehicle, particularly if you are primarily travelling locally. In that case, choosing a seven-seat SUV that runs entirely on electricity, like the Mercedes EQB, will give you a lot more value for your money.
The fuel consumption of the SsangYong Rexton is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular SsangYong Rexton variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a SsangYong Rexton in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your SsangYong Rexton is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
