Ssangyong’s SUV and ute offerings have been updated, re-priced and reconfigured with a mid-tier model added to both line-ups. Still at drive away pricing, the South Korean duo offer an old school ladder chassis and proper selectable 4WD along with host of added kit.

SsangYong Australia has launched a limited-run Black Edition version above the Ultimate variant of its Rexton range. Its equipment level is similar, but the former is festooned with dark detailing.

Mimmicking the Rexton SUV on which it is based, the SsangYong Musso has been treated to a mid-life facelift but it remains to be seen if it scores the same power bump.

SsangYong gifts its Rexton large SUV a new face, more power, more tech and a bigger pricetag ($47,990) for 2021.

SsangYong Australia will release the Tivoli XLV in December - a stretched version of the regular Tivoli - poised to steal attention away from the larger small SUVs such as the Nissan Qashqai and Jeep Compass.

Ssangyong expects its Tivoli small SUV to be its biggest seller when it arrives Down Under in December.

The Ssangyong Rexton large SUV will serve as the brand’s flagship when it goes on sale later in December.

The Ssangyong Musso should be the only South Korean pick-up in Australia when it launches, offering what is expected to be a cheaper 4x4 dual-cab alternative to the market-leading Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger.
