SsangYong New Musso Pickup


The new SsangYong Musso pickup features a 1 tonne payload, 3 tonne towing capability, powered by a new Euro 6-compliant turbo-diesel engine, and it's all for the price of £ 15,995 ex VAT, with sales set to begin this month.

Due to its towing capability and competitive pricing, the Musso is ideal for pulling a work/boat trailer, or a horse box.


The 2.2-liter diesel packs 178 PS and 400 Nm of torque, with the latter available from 1,400 rpm to 2,800 rpm. There's also a multi-link rear suspension and progressive rear coil springs, making this the only pickup at this price range to offer such a setup.

The range consists of two models, the Musso SE and EX. The former comes with a new-look front grille and dashboard, as well as silver 18" alloys and a "leather look" TPU seat upholstery. As for the better-spec'd EX, it's distinguished by black 18" alloys, roof rails, front LED daytime running lights, leather heated front seats, powere operated driver's seat, automatic air conditioning, automatic headlights, rain sensing wipers and a 7" touchscreen with iPod & Bluetooth connectivity.


The EX with a manual transmission is priced at £ 17,995 ex VAT, whereas the model featuring the six-speed Aisin automatic costs £ 18,995 ex VAT.
