Rexton W

6-speed manual transmission

Using a wide spread of ratios, the 6-speed manual gearbox has been developed to improve launch acceleration while also offering low-engine-speed high-economy running at motorway pace. Efficiency and durability have also been improved by optimising oil lubrication, while particular engineering attention has been paid to reduce gear whine at all speeds.

7-speed AT from Mercedes

The 7-speed G-tronic automatic transmission, built with Mercedes-Benz technology, provide smooth and quiet operation. The advanced AI programme monitors the vehicle’s operational status and can anticipate the driver’s intentions, while optimal gear changing delivers the best driving performance at high speed and improves fuel efficiency.

Front wheels: Double wishbone suspension

The front wheels are suspended by lower and upper arms to maintain optimal wheel contact for better driving stability. Ride smoothness is further enhanced by dual action gas-filled shock absorbers, stabiliser bar and coil springs.

Rear wheels: 8-link indipendent suspension

The Rexton W employs the same advanced suspension systems found on many luxury saloons to achieve the superior damping essential to both handling and ride comfort. Each link performs a specific wheel locating task to ensure constant steering stability and superior handling amid changing road conditions. Moreover, the wheels move independently of one other, reducing chassis movement on rough surfaces and maintaining optimal wheel control at all times.

Normal road conditions 2WD High-gear Mode

Under normal driving conditions 100 per cent of the engine’s torque is driving the rear wheels so that the Rexton can run with the highest efficiency.

Snowy & icy road conditions 4WD High-gear Mode

Whenever additional traction is needed, the driver can switch the transaxle to four-wheel drive while the vehicle is still in motion. The technology also comes into play when pulling away on a steep slope, allowing the Rexton to drive off from a standstill smoothly and safely every time.

Slippery inclines & heavy off-road conditions 4WD Low-gear Mode (4WD Lock)

Use the 4WD lock mode to manually force the spread of power between the front and rear wheels at speeds below 40 km/h. The locking differential is a must for any camper or nature lover, as it's widely used on boat ramps and rocky areas of off-road.

Ultra-rigid frame

The ultra-rigid frame, which features triple-layer construction, is built to absorb and disperse shocks and impacts of all kinds. This means less vibration during normal operation, longer durability overall and greater safety in a collision.

In control under any circumstance

Rexton W is equipped with cutting-edge active safety systems, including the Electronic Stability Program, which integrates the electronic brake-force distribution, the antilock braking system, brake-assist system, traction control system, and active rollover protection.

Hill Descent Control (HDC)

When the downward gradient reaches 10% or more, the HDC assumes braking duties and maintains slow and steady vehicular movement. The driver can focus solely on steering.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

The sophisticated Electronic Stability Programme monitors road conditions and vehicular status, ready to adjust engine output and brake force automatically should the driver be in danger of losing control on wet or icy surfaces or in sharp turns at high speed.

Isofix anchorage and automatic door lock

We all want to keep our children safe and secure. The ISOFIX system provides a more secure and easier way of attaching child seats in cars. The ISOFIX international standard is applied in Rexton W for ultimate child safety and comfort. For even better protection of all the occupants, the speed-sensing door lock is activated automatically when the vehicle reaches a speed of 50 km/h.
