2026 KGM Musso price and specs: Reshuffled range for ex-SsangYong ute
The KGM Musso – formerly known as the SsangYong Musso – brings more standard equipment for model year 2026, but it comes at a premium. The base price of the dual-cab 4×4 ute range has climbed by $2500 to $42,500 drive-away, while flagship Ultimate variants are now $5500 pricier than before. However, the Ultimate now includes all of the features of the previous Luxury Pack as standard, so it's a $2500 increase as well if comparing like for like. The Ultimate also gains LED headlights. Stepping down a rung, the mid-range Adventure has been renamed Advance and gets a darker look, with a black grille, black 18-inch alloy wheels, and rear privacy glass. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Above: Musso Advance The Musso gains electrically assisted power steering, enabling lane-keep assist. However, this isn't available on XLV grades, which stick with a hydraulic power steering setup and therefore only have lane departure warning. No Australian-market Musso has adaptive cruise control, even though this has been offered in Korea for some time and has now been added to the related Rexton large SUV locally. The base ELX gains the HID headlights that were previously exclusive to the Ultimate, but again there's a difference with the extended XLV variant which sticks with projector halogen units. Safety equipment from the Ultimate has filtered down to the Advance. This includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and safe exit warning. The Advance also gains dual-zone climate control and a heated steering wheel. The following pricing is for private buyers. The Musso comes standard with a part-time four-wheel drive system with selectable 4H and 4L modes and an automatically locking rear differential. Supplied Credit: CarExpert All Mussos have multi-link coil-spring rear suspension, bar the ELX XLV which uses leaf springs. Payload varies. It's 790kg in regular-length Mussos, 1010kg in the ELX XLV, and 880kg in the Advance XLV. The KGM Musso is backed by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, and five years of roadside assistance. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Above: Musso Ultimate Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first. KGM Australia hasn't announced service pricing changes for 2026. Current service prices are as follows: The KGM Musso has never been tested by ANCAP. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Standard safety equipment across the range includes: Autonomous emergency braking Lane departure warning Lane-keep assist (NEW, excludes XLV variants) Reversing camera Front and rear parking sensors 6 airbags The Advance adds: Blind-spot monitoring (NEW) Rear cross-traffic alert (NEW) Safe exit warning (NEW) Tyre pressure monitoring The Ultimate also features a surround-view camera. There are three trim levels in the 2026 Musso lineup, each available in either regular-length or extended XLV guise.

2026 KGM Musso and Rexton cost more, but score missing safety tech
The KGM Musso dual-cab ute and its KGM Rexton SUV platform-mate have both been given much-needed safety equipment upgrades as part of their 2026 model year update – but start at $2500 more. KGM Australia, previously known as SsangYong, has given both models a 2026 update with minor changes and added equipment including more active safety technology. The 2026 KGM Musso – a Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux rival – brings a new mid-spec Advance model grade, replacing the Adventure, to sit below the top-spec Ultimate and above the entry-level Musso ELX. The optional Luxury Pack for the Ultimate has been dropped, with its features now included as standard on the flagship Musso grade. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. New for the base Musso ELX – now $2500 more at $42,500 drive-away – is a set of high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights and silver roof rails on the outside, while the cabin gains reach adjustment for the steering wheel. A move to electrically assisted power steering also brings standard lane-keep assist, which joins existing safety technology such as autonomous emergency braking and trailer sway assist. Unfortunately, Australian-market Mussos continue to miss out on adaptive cruise control. The extended-length XLV version of the base ELX misses out on the HID headlights and lane-keep assist and also sticks with hydraulic power steering but as before brings a 1010kg payload over the standard ELX's 790kg. At $46,500 drive-away, the new mid-spec Advance is $4000 more than the previous Adventure it replaces and adds 18-inch alloy wheels finished in black to match its black front grille and rear privacy glass. Inside there's leather-look seats – heated and ventilated in the front row – dual-zone climate control and heated steering wheel. The Advance XLV picks up the same changes but with a 90kg better payload of 880kg for an additional $1500. The Musso Ultimate – $3000 more than the previous Ultimate Luxury – brings a unique black front bumper and grille, LED headlights and power sunroof. The black treatment spreads inside with black highlights for items like the climate control panel. Standard equipment now includes eight-way power adjustment for the front seats and heated outboard rear seats. The Rexton – the brand's second-best seller behind Musso – is a Ford Everest and Toyota LandCruiser Prado competitor and also picks up the Advance model grade in place of the previous Adventure trim. At $52,500 drive-away, a $2500 rise, the 2026 Rexton ELX can be spotted by its C-shape LED daytime running lights and sequential front and rear indicators, while inside it gains leatherette upholstery. Like the Musso, it gains electric power steering and lane-keep assist, however it also features standard adaptive cruise control. The $57,500 drive-away Rexton Advance costs $3500 more than before and picks up rear door pull-up sun blinds, while the Rexton Ultimate adds wireless phone charging. The flagship Rexton Sport Pack includes metallic paint ($700 on other model grades), but at $64,200 drive-away has also received a $3500 price rise. The Sport Pack adds black leather and suede on the seats and door trims and a gloss black steering wheel bezel.

KGM Australia, previously known as SsangYong, has given both models a 2026 update with minor changes and added equipment including more active safety technology. The 2026 KGM Musso – a Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux rival – brings a new mid-spec Advance model grade, replacing the Adventure, to sit below the top-spec Ultimate and above the entry-level Musso ELX. The optional Luxury Pack for the Ultimate has been dropped, with its features now included as standard on the flagship Musso grade. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car.

New for the base Musso ELX – now $2500 more at $42,500 drive-away – is a set of high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights and silver roof rails on the outside, while the cabin gains reach adjustment for the steering wheel. A move to electrically assisted power steering also brings standard lane-keep assist, which joins existing safety technology such as autonomous emergency braking and trailer sway assist. Unfortunately, Australian-market Mussos continue to miss out on adaptive cruise control. The extended-length XLV version of the base ELX misses out on the HID headlights and lane-keep assist and also sticks with hydraulic power steering but as before brings a 1010kg payload over the standard ELX's 790kg. At $46,500 drive-away, the new mid-spec Advance is $4000 more than the previous Adventure it replaces and adds 18-inch alloy wheels finished in black to match its black front grille and rear privacy glass. Inside there's leather-look seats – heated and ventilated in the front row – dual-zone climate control and heated steering wheel. The Advance XLV picks up the same changes but with a 90kg better payload of 880kg for an additional $1500. The Musso Ultimate – $3000 more than the previous Ultimate Luxury – brings a unique black front bumper and grille, LED headlights and power sunroof. The black treatment spreads inside with black highlights for items like the climate control panel. Standard equipment now includes eight-way power adjustment for the front seats and heated outboard rear seats. The Rexton – the brand's second-best seller behind Musso – is a Ford Everest and Toyota LandCruiser Prado competitor and also picks up the Advance model grade in place of the previous Adventure trim. At $52,500 drive-away, a $2500 rise, the 2026 Rexton ELX can be spotted by its C-shape LED daytime running lights and sequential front and rear indicators, while inside it gains leatherette upholstery. Like the Musso, it gains electric power steering and lane-keep assist, however it also features standard adaptive cruise control. The $57,500 drive-away Rexton Advance costs $3500 more than before and picks up rear door pull-up sun blinds, while the Rexton Ultimate adds wireless phone charging. The flagship Rexton Sport Pack includes metallic paint ($700 on other model grades), but at $64,200 drive-away has also received a $3500 price rise. The Sport Pack adds black leather and suede on the seats and door trims and a gloss black steering wheel bezel.
