7 reasons why you should consider a Musso ute

There’s a lot to consider when you decide to look at purchasing a new ute.

Payload, towing, build quality and comfort are just some of the many considerations.

Let’s take a look at the MY23 Musso. The big, bold, beast with a striking design, luxurious interior and rugged off-road driving performance. We reckon it's redefining reliability and hard to look past in the 4x4 dual cab ute category.

Here's why you should consider the Musso as your next dual cab ute:

1. 7 Year Warranty

The Musso is Australia’s only dual cab ute with a 7 year unlimited kilometre warranty that includes commercial use.

This isn’t just limited to personal, private or family use. If you’re a tradie, business owner or fleet manager, this offers significant peace of mind. We're so confident in our 4x4 ute that we guarantee it's reliability – no matter how you use it or how many kilometres it does.

SsangYong Australia provides roadside assistance 365 days per year so you can Drive Long in confidence.

2. Build Quality

SsangYong has been building rugged and reliable automotive vehicles in Korea since 1954.

We're 4WD specialists with over 60 years of 4-wheel drive experience. The Musso 4x4 system draws on all the 60 years of SsangYong experience of continuously advancing technology.

Sharing its underpinnings with the Rexton SUV, Musso’s body-on-frame construction provides an extremely strong vehicle that delivers excellent off-road driving performance and safety from its quad-frame and four-wheel-drive system.

The Musso is fabricated to strict Australian automotive vehicle standards and the high strength steel construction of the Musso makes light work of our harsh climate, rugged environment and road conditions.

3. Towing

Every SsangYong Musso is available with a massive 3.5 tonne braked towing capacity.

The Musso is available in two model options, ELX and ULTIMATE. Both Musso model options feature our class-leading E-XDI turbo diesel engine, producing enough torque (400Nm or 420Nm on XLV pack with Auto) to give you the 3.5 tonne braked towing capacity. You also have the option of 6-speed Manual or Automatic transmission to suit your driving preference.

The Musso has some serious pulling power that makes light work of hauling a large caravan, boat or work trailer. Now you can rest easy if the new toy needs a new rig. Or is it the other way around?

4. Payload

Built for performance, the Musso can carry everything from your weekend adventure gear, dirt bikes, or a full palette load to the job site.

Our ELX and ULTIMATE models as standard will take a massive payload with a minimum of 790kg. Or if you want to beef up the payload some more you have the option of the ELX Manual model with the XLV pack fitted to accommodate up to 1020kg.

The Musso XLV Pack also adds a 300mm longer tub giving you an additional 251L rear tub capacity, along with a 110mm longer wheel base.

5. Comfort

The Australian ute market has traditionally compromised cabin comfort to make way for practicality – but not anymore.

There is an abundance of comfort, convenience and advanced technology packed in to each SsangYong Musso. With standard features across the ELX and ULTIMATE models such as an 8-inch touchscreen smart audio with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control, leather steering wheel and a rear-view camera, the Musso definitely delivers a comfortable ride – all packed into a spacious cabin with an SUV feel.

The new MY23 Musso also boasts a full digital 12.3 inch LCD instrument cluster, taking the cabin feel of the Musso to another level. The ULTIMATE models also include premium features such as heated and ventilated front seats, HID headlights and 360° camera. See all of the Musso features.

6. Accessories

Probably the most important aspect of purchasing any new ute is the availability of genuine accessories that set up your vehicle unique to you.

The MY23 Musso has 50+ genuine accessories available including underbody protection, electronic brake controllers, suspension packs, etc. Whether you're configuring your dual cab for work with trays, canopies and leaf spring suspension, or you want to customise the look of your Musso with nudge bars, fender flares and sports bars – you can build and price your own Musso online.

With the Musso, you’re spoilt for choice with a huge range of accessories available from your local SsangYong dealer.

7. Price

The price and value delivered with the SsangYong Musso make it a class leader.

SsangYong vehicles have been designed from the ground up with performance and quality in mind, and are packed full of features. With all of the features offered, they might cost less than you might think.

The MY23 Musso ELX starts at $36,790 drive away and the MY23 Musso ULTIMATE starts at $43,090 drive away.
