SsangYong has given the Musso a nip and tuck for 2021, three years after the current generation premiered. The visual updates are said to give it a “bold and muscular stance,” while also bringing it in line with the brand’s latest vehicles.
Adding to its enhanced stance are the chrome radiator grille with vertical slats, which is bigger than before, new headlights, bumper, and side skirts. The taillamps look the same, and it displays its name in the middle of the tailgate, under the corporate badge.
Power is still supplied by the same 2.2-liter diesel engine that produces an identical 181 PS (178 HP / 133 kW). The thrust has grown from 400 to 420 Nm (295-310 lb-ft) of torque, and the model can accelerate to 100 kph (62 mph) in 11.9 seconds with the six-speed automatic transmission or 11.3 seconds with the six-speed manual. The gearbox channels the thrust to the four-wheel-drive system, and the vehicle returns 9.6 l/100 km (29.5 mpg UK / 24.6 mpg US) on the WLTP cycle.
The Korean automaker has already started accepting orders for the facelifted Musso in the United Kingdom. Pricing kicks off from £23,495 (equal to $32,495) excluding tax for the base EX, which comes with new 17-inch alloy wheels and six airbags. The entry-level grade is also equipped with remote central locking, manual air conditioning, rain-sensing windscreen wipers, dusk-sensing headlamps, electric windows, DAB, Bluetooth, and AdBlue.
Building on the EX, the short bed Rebel trim level adds roof rails, 8-inch infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, reversing camera, leather-like upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, triple LED fog lamps, and Rebel graphics.
Choosing the Saracen will get customers the exterior black pack, 18-inch alloy wheels, Nappa leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats, heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control, and 9.2-inch infotainment system with TomTom navi. Things such as front and rear parking sensors, blind spot detection, lane change assist, rear cross traffic alert, and rear privacy windows are standard, alongside the Saracen graphics.
Named the Musso Rhino, the range-topping model gets XL tires wrapped around the new 17-inch alloy wheels, parking sensors at both ends, Rhino graphics, an extra 310 mm (12.2 in) in the bed, and a few other features.
