The seven-seat KGM Rexton large SUV has finally received additional safety tech in Australia, years after these features were added in its home market.
The move to electrically assisted power steering means the Korean Ford Everest rival now has lane-keep assist, and it’s also picked up adaptive cruise control – something revealed for Korean-market models back in 2020.
The bottom ELX gains leatherette upholstery and new-look LED daytime running lights, in addition to sequential indicators front and rear.

The Advance (formerly Adventure) picks up rear-seat sun blinds, the Ultimate gains a wireless phone charger, and the Sport Pack gains leather/suede upholstery and a few minor trim revisions.
Otherwise, the Rexton is unchanged, though prices have increased by upwards of $2500.
The Rexton is a cut-price alternative to the likes of the Everest, but additionally has to contend with other challenger-brand models just like the Mahindra Scorpio and LDV D90.
