The 2017 Ssangyong Rexton has been spotted testing in southern Europe ahead of its first reveal at the Paris motor show next month.
Ssangyong has previewed the 2017 Rexton with its LIV-2 concept.
The large SUV will first be shown in pre-production guise, before its maker launches the finished production model at the Geneva motor show in March 2017.
The latest spy pictures confirm that the Rexton will retain a boxy shape and conventional SUV profile. Despite being covered in heavy cladding, it’s likely the car’s light designs will be influenced by the 2014 Liv-1 concept (shown in the gallery).
Inside, the four-wheel drive will get a new dash layout, likely taking influence from that of the new Ssangyong Tivoli and featuring Ssangyong’s latest infotainment system.
Under the bonnet at launch will be a turbocharged 2.2-litre diesel engine; a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol is likely to be offered later on.
The four-wheel-drive model will come with driver assist features, such as lane departure warning and autonomous braking.
