One major advantage of the 2.2 over larger engines is efficiency. SsangYong SUVs are heavy (the Rexton weighs over 2.1 tonnes), but the 2.2 manages remarkably well.
If you change the oil every 10,000 km (not the long-life 20,000 km interval) and use 5W-30 C3 spec oil, this engine will outlast the bodywork.
Mated to either a Mercedes-sourced 7G-Tronic (7-speed automatic) or a 6-speed manual, the engine feels undersquare and relaxed. It will happily lug up to its 3.5-ton braked towing capacity without drama.
