SYUK Cars is looking for dealers to sell its new Rexton sport utility vehicle when it goes on sale in the UK in June.

Built by SsangYong in Korea, the Italian-designed Rexton has similar dimensions to the Isuzu Trooper and will be offered with a choice of five or seven seats with prices starting at £18,799.

Tom Martin, SYUK managing director, said: 'Our management has a successful track record in establishing new automotive ventures.'

The company is aiming for more than 60 dealers.
