2026 KGM Rexton: Added safety tech and extra comfort in updated large SUV range

KGM has refreshed its Rexton large SUV range for Model Year 26, introducing a series of safety, technology and comfort upgrades aimed at enhancing its appeal in Australia’s competitive family SUV market.

All Rexton variants now come with electric power steering, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) as standard. Lighting has also been updated, with the addition of LED headlights featuring a new daytime running light design and sequential indicators.

The line-up remains familiar, apart from a name change for the mid-tier Adventure grade, which is now known as Advance. Equipment improvements have been made across the range: the entry-level ELX now gains leather-look upholstery, the Advance adds rear door pull-up sun blinds, and the flagship Ultimate receives wireless phone charging.

At the top of the line, the optional Sport Pack builds on the Ultimate with distinctive interior upgrades. These include black leather and suede seats, suede door trims and dash panel, plus a gloss black steering wheel bezel for a more premium cabin look.

The MY26 update follows a pattern of incremental changes designed to keep the Rexton competitive while maintaining its reputation for value, practicality, and towing capability.

Australian pricing and availability for the updated Rexton range are expected to be confirmed shortly, ahead of its showroom arrival later this year.
