SsangYong has introduced a 7-year and 150,000 mile warranty on its Musso pick-up.
The new warranty applies to new Rexton from 1 July and can be applied retrospectively to all new Rextons sold since launch.
It can also be applied to all other models purchased since January 1st 2018 at a cost of £500.
The warranty covers all the major mechanical components including wheel bearings, suspension joints and bushes, steering joints, shock absorbers and even the audio system.
Wearable components such as clutch discs and brake friction materials which could have their life reduced by poor driving are covered for one year or 12,500 miles, and the battery and paintwork for three years.
“We believe in the strength of our new truck so we’re announcing this new warranty which will also apply to Rexton on which Musso is based.
“No other pick-up or SUV comes with such comprehensive reassurance, and without the small-print of so many other manufacturer warranties,” said Nick Laird, managing director of SsangYong Motor UK.
