The SsangYong Rexton is a sport utility vehicle based on the Mercedes-Benz M-Class. Released in Korea by the SsangYong Motor Company in late 2001, the demand for this vehicle in Korea has been huge. The Rexton offers high standard appointments, quiet on-road performance, car-like handling, and rugged off-road capability. It can be configured to seat seven people or as a five seater for more luggage space.

The car is available only with four-wheel drive and three engines: a 2.7 liter 121 kW (162 hp) / 342 N·m (252 lb·ft) common rail diesel, a 2.9 liter diesel and a 3.2 liter 162 kW (217 hp) / 310 N·m (229 lb·ft) petrol engine, all are manufactured under license from Mercedes-Benz.

Rextons are also assembled by the Micro Cars company in Sri Lanka. These Sri Lankan assembled Rextons have at least 30% local content.

In 2006, the model received style changes, along with more comfort and convenience and was renamed the new Rexton II.
