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.

One of the first things I look at as a mum is how easy it is to install a baby seat. In the Rexton, this was refreshingly simple, with ISOFIX and top tether points, and doors that open wide enough to make access easy — especially when you’re lifting a sleeping baby.

There’s more rear-seat space than I expected too, which means plenty of room for me to sit back there when needed. The boot is large enough to handle all the baby gear and then some.

Like most SUVs in this class, though, once all seven seats are in use, boot space is limited.

Access to the third row is also a little tight, with restricted leg room.

Around town, the Rexton is easy, comfortable, and economical to drive, more like a family SUV than a traditional four-wheel drive.

While the Rexton is certainly capable off-road, it’s probably best suited to families who want a comfortable, spacious wagon for everyday life, with 4WD capability if needed.

That’s exactly how we used it — no off-roading, just reliable family transport.

The Rexton is a seven seat 4WD wagon like the Isuzu MU-X or the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport.

It has a big bold style about it with an imposing bonnet and front grill. Inside its luxury and comfort all the way.

Rexton comes with a 2.2L turbo diesel engine and 8-speed automatic transmission with electronic shift lever and steering wheel paddle shifts. This combination provides adequate performance and surprisingly good economy. There is a part time dual range 4WD system and rear diff lock. The Rexton is also rated to tow 3500kg.

It wouldn’t be my first pick to head to Cape York, but forest trails, beach driving or ski trips are all well covered.

The Rexton Ultimate comes with

• Powered sunroof and tailgate
• Premium quilted leather seats with heating and ventilation
• 360° camera
• 3rd row A/C controls
• Rear auto up/down power windows
• Ambient interior lighting
• Illuminated front door scuff plates
• Privacy glass

The Rexton also crosses over into SUV class with its multi link suspension system providing a smooth SUV like ride. Think Hyundai Palisade or Kia Sorento, but with true 4WD capability.
