THE all-new SsangYong Musso pick-up has been launched at the Geneva Motor Show.

Entering the fast-growing and highly competitive pick-up market segment, the new Musso is a competent multi-purpose vehicle with traditional SsangYong values comprehensively equipped, a sector leading five-year limitless mileage warranty and a value for money package expected at launch.

Built on the same architecture as the new Rexton, Musso shares its body-on-frame construction to give a strong vehicle that delivers excellent off-road driving performance and safety from its quad-frame and four-wheel-drive system.

Designed to carry passengers in comfort and loads securely, Musso combines a five-seat crew-cab body style with a workman-like load deck that will transport a full-sized Euro pallet. It also carries over one tonne in load weight, and tows trailers of up to 3.5 tonnes. This combination of utility pick-up and SUV means Musso offers the perfect blend of functionality, practicality, performance and comfort to the driver and family or workmates.

Musso is powered by the same e-XDi220 engine found in the Rexton, and delivers a maximum power of 181ps at 4,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 420Nm at 1,600 to 2,600 rpm (automatic transmission). It is available with either a six-speed manual or an Aisin six-speed automatic with its success proven by a number of other automotive brands.

Inside, Musso is well equipped compared with other pick-ups, and as well as offering excellent shoulder and leg room, Nappa leather seats can be found on the top of the range model for luxury and comfort. DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity feature across the range, while all but the entry level model feature a state-of-the-art infotainment system that includes an eight-inch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and wi-fi mirroring.

New Musso will be launched in the UK this summer.
