More about the KGM Rexton
The Rexton is KGM’s flagship SUV, offering more in every way. Its elegant design, inside and out, is enhanced by refined detailing that pairs seamlessly with its rugged off-road capability. This spacious seven-seater is renowned for its impressive towing strength and comes generously equipped with technology and features that exceed expectations for its class. Standard highlights include a 12.3” fully digital instrument cluster, auto-dipping headlights, and side steps for effortless access.
Powered by a 2.2L 8-speed diesel engine with selectable 4x4, the Rexton delivers 202 PS and 441Nm of torque to provide all the muscle needed for towing heavier trailers and caravans. Practicality is further enhanced with front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera to make hitching up simple, while traffic sign recognition and speed limit warnings help support safer, more relaxed long-distance driving.
What's my Towing Capacity?
The KGM Rexton is capable of towing up to a maximum braked capacity of 3,500kg. Please refer to your vehicle’s VIN plate, usually in one of the door frames, for your Rexton’s exact capacity.
Which Towbar is best for my Rexton?
Three towbar options are available for the KGM Rexton: a fixed flange towbar, a fixed swan neck towbar, and a detachable swan neck towbar.
The fixed flange is one of two permanent options for the Rexton, meaning it cannot be removed after towing. It features a bolt-on plate that allows for towing accessories to be attached, such as the ball and pin towball for commercial usage. Its robust design may, however, occasionally interfere with rear parking sensors when reversing. The fixed flange is suitable for towing both trailers and caravans, but if your caravan is fitted with an ALKO stabiliser, an ALKO towball will be required.
The fixed swan neck is the slimmer of the two permanent options, reducing the likelihood of rear parking sensors being triggered, though this may vary depending on sensor placement. It is compatible with trailers, caravans, and clamp-on cycle carriers. Unlike the fixed flange, the swan neck design does not require an ALKO towball, as it is compatible with stabilisers.
The detachable variant of the swan neck uses a simple twist-and-push mechanism, to detach the neck when not in use. This leaves only the discreet housing beneath the chassis and a flip-up electric socket hidden from view to reduce visual impact on the vehicle.
Will it need a bumper cut?
A non-visible bumper cut is required for the towbar on the Rexton, minimising the effect on the aesthetics of the vehicle and allowing the detachable towbar to remain invisible once removed.
