SsangYong Motor features vehicles at NZ farm festival

SsangYong Motor showcased 20 of its vehicles at the New Zealand Agricultural Fieldays last week in a bid to increase its presence in the regional automobile market.

The largest agricultural exhibition in the southern hemisphere attracts an average of 1,000 companies and 130,000 visitors every year, the automaker said. For this year’s fair, which was held from June 12 to 15, SsangYong set up its own booth for G4 Rexton and other models. It offered test drives to visitors.

The Korean subsidiary of Mumbai-based Mahindra & Mahindra officially launched the Rexton Sports in the Oceanian market in January and the Rexton Sports Khan pickup truck in April after establishing its first foreign branch in Australia last November.
