Polar opposite to a ‘crossover’ there is also clear blue water’between the Rexton and a mainstream Sport Utility Vehicle.

Big, tough and well up to a day’s work it’s surprisingly comfortable on a long trip and remarkable value for money.

The latest (fourth-generation) Rexton retains body-on-frame (separate chassis) construction and transfer box for high/low ratio 4x4. A manual gearbox remains an option on the cheapest and the 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel has been tweaked for better MPG and CO2.

Until recently the future here looked bleak for such vehicles with only the Rexton and Toyota’s Land Cruiser on sale.
