KGM Rexton Ultimate Sport 4WD Baby duties week 3

KGM Rexton – This is our final week with the KGM Rexton as a new-mum car, and there are a few things I’ve realised I hadn’t yet mentioned.

Firstly, I really like the styling. The Rexton hasn’t always been known for good looks, but that has definitely changed. It now looks quite stylish and well proportioned.

Inside, it’s spacious and comfortable, with a level of luxury that feels well suited to family life. That said, it does fall a little short in terms of technology and digital design. While it’s not a deal breaker, some buyers will notice the more basic approach to the dashboard and screens.

One thing I do miss is wireless smartphone connectivity, as using a cable can mean messy wires around the cabin. I also found that the Apple CarPlay controls sit on the far left side of the screen, which requires a bit of a reach to use while driving.

As I’ve mentioned before, the turbo-diesel engine is strong enough for everyday driving and delivers reasonable fuel economy.

While most new families probably won’t be towing anything heavy, it’s worth noting the Rexton is rated to tow up to 3,500 kilograms.

Priced from around $64,200 drive-away, the top-spec model represents outstanding value.

That said, it’s worth looking at the lower-spec versions, as buyers can save close to $3,000 by skipping the Sport Pack and deciding which features they’re happy to trade off.

Aside from a few small niggles, the KGM Rexton Ultimate Sport 4WD gets the mum-and-bub approval.

This has been a Motoring Minute.
