KGM Rexton SUV - Interior & comfort
The Rexton's attractive interior impresses if you don't look too closely
In many ways, the interior of the Rexton impresses more than any other aspect. While previous cars from the brand have always felt robust and hardy on the inside, they've never been especially appealing to sit in. Even if a few scratchy materials can still be found if you look a little harder, the Rexton makes quite a strong initial impression, and is a pleasant environment to travel in. It even provides a very comfortable driving position, with a commanding view over most other traffic.
KGM Rexton dashboard
With the latest Rexton, KGM can proudly boast a dashboard that's at least as attractive as many of its rivals, even if it’s certainly not perfect.. Woodgrain trims have largely been replaced with metallic finishes, for a more contemporary look that's more fashionable, and the K50 even gets suede-style trim. For the latest update, the old integrated central screen has been replaced by a floating tablet-style screen, allowing KGM to fit a sweeping horizontal set of air vents for a more modern look. The only issue is that the 12.3-inch screen isn’t pointed towards the driver, and most of the menu items are on the left-hand side, so they are a bit of a stretch from the driver’s seat. This should be less of a problem if you use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto instead of the built-in software.
Equipment
Reinforcing the Rexton's value-for-money credentials is the high level of standard equipment fitted to the three models available. They’re called K30, K40 and K50 and it's the entry-level car that stretches your money the furthest.
The K30 version gets dual zone air-conditioning, a heated leather steering wheel, LED headlamps, a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Costing around £2,000 more, K40 brings Nappa leather upholstery, powered, heated and ventilated front seats, ambient lighting and extra safety features. The K50 top trim introduces suede inserts, a powered sunroof, air-con for the third row passengers and 20-inch polished alloy wheels.
