SsangYong has unveiled the next-generation Musso pick-up truck. Available in crew cab guise only, it has a one-tonne payload and a maximum towing capacity of 3.5 tonnes.
Like the recently-launched Rexton, Musso is built on a ‘Quad-Frame’ separate chassis. The 2.2 litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged, e-XDi 220 diesel engine and part-time four-wheel drive system are carried over too.

Power output is rated at 178 bhp (133 kW / 181 PS), while peak torque is either 400 Nm (295 lb/ft) with a six-speed manual gearbox or 420 Nm (310 lb/ft) with an Aisin six-speed automatic transmission.
Final UK specifications and prices have yet to be confirmed, but three trim levels are planned.
Standard equipment on the entry-level version is set to include a 12V / 120W power outlet in the cargo bed, Bluetooth connectivity and a DAB radio. By contrast, the top-grade Musso will feature luxuries such as an 8” infotainment screen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, heated front seats, Nappa leather upholstery and 20” wheels.
Deliveries are expected to begin during the summer.
