SsangYong range approved for motability scheme

SsangYong’s range of Kyron, Rexton and Rodius cars are now approved for sale under the Motability Scheme.
Paul Williams, managing director of SsangYong distributor Koelliker UK, said: “SsangYong has been approved on the scheme before but it really wasn’t given the focus it deserved. Our cars – particularly the Rodius – are potentially very attractive to Motability Scheme buyers, and our new pricing means that sensible deposit levels can be offered.
“Motability accounts for a significant slice of the total car market and our dealers want to support what is a worthwhile and very successful scheme.”
All SsangYong passenger cars are available through Motability, with the Kyron and Rodius ranges starting at £14,995 and the Rexton at £19,995.
The Kyron is powered either by the common-rail 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine with 141 PS and 310 Nm of torque, or the newest SsangYong 2.7 litre, turbocharged common rail diesel. This gives 163bhp and a thumping 250lb-ft of torque.
All three SsangYong Rexton models have all-wheel drive and the 2.7 litre common rail turbo diesel engine for big towing capacity and off-road capability.
SsangYong’s Rodius models come in 2wd and all-wheel drive – all with the 2.7 litre turbo diesel - and with automatic transmission as an option. The Rodius is a seven-seater model.
Motability is a registered charity that enables disabled people to use their government-funded mobility allowances to obtain a new car. Today, the scheme purchases over 5 per cent of all new cars, powered wheel chairs and scooters sold in the UK.
