SsangYong will unveil the fourth-generation Rexton at the 2016 Paris motor show in October. Images released across the web recently, reveal that the new Rexton will get a redesigned centre console and a new three-spoke steering wheel. Compared to its predecessor, it will offer more premium upholstery and creature comforts. The next-generation Rexton is also expected to get a large TFT screen on the dashboard, a larger boot space with a folding third-row seat to provide more space for luggage, as well as an electronic-parking brake system.

The new Rexton is believed to be around 50kg lighter than the current-generation SUV and get improved dynamics, which will help it offer better fuel efficiency. It might also get a selectable all-wheel-drive system along with other safety features like lane departure warning, blind-spot detection and airbags.

The SUV will likely continue to be powered by the same 2.2-litre diesel engine that produces 180.46hp of power. While Paris motor show will witness a pre-production model of the new Rexton, the final production version will make its debut at Geneva Motor Show.

At slow speeds, ride is absorbent, but it moves around at speed.

Dashboard is simply laid out, feels plush and buttons and knobs have a nice, tactile feel.

Hyundai Creta's backseat is the more comfortable of the two and has better support.

Steering-mounted controls very handy.

Driver armrest can store essentials and is well placed.

Static cornering lamps offer extra illumination while negotiating turns.

A rear-view camera makes parking the Creta a breeze, but there are no parking sensors.

BR-V's ride is stiff, but it handles nicely; suspension is a bit noisy.

Dash is well laid out with a pleasing design, quality of materials isn't all that great.

BR-V has more space, better legroom and has a really large-sized window area.

BR-V gets a useful third row of seats too.

Paddle shifters mounted behind steering wheel work nicely.

Infotainment system looks dated, some functions a bit hard to use.

Ceiling-mounted air-conditioning vents in the second row are very useful.
