2021 SsangYong Musso price and specs: Facelifted ute gains new look, $1000 price rise

SsangYong's dual-cab ute gets a facelift, with a fresh look and a new Luxury Pack for the flagship Ultimate.


  • 2021 SsangYong Musso pricing and specification
  • Two variants, two tray lengths for updated dual-cab ute
  • New front-end design across the range, plus a new Luxury Pack for the Ultimate
  • Prices start from $34,990 drive-away, an increase of $1000 across the range.

Australian pricing and specifications for the 2021 SsangYong Musso have been confirmed, ahead of its local arrival in July.

SsangYong's entrant in the popular dual-cab ute segment has had a mid-life facelift, with the updated Musso gaining more muscular exterior styling comprising a new-look front end, new alloy wheel designs, and the addition of LED combination tail-lights – accompanied by price rises of $1000 across the range.

Two trim variants (ELX and Ultimate) are on offer across regular and XLV load bed lengths, with the range-topping Ultimate gaining a premium Luxury Pack option for an additional $3000 (more details at the bottom of this story).

Standard-length models offer 1011 litres of load capacity in the rear of their dual-cab bodies, with XLV models adding 300mm of load length for a 1262-litre volume.

All models are powered by a carry-over 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, developing 133kW and 400Nm on all variants – except the Musso XLV ELX and Ultimate with automatic gearboxes, where the torque output increases to 420Nm.

Power is sent to all four wheels through a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions, with selectable four-wheel drive, low-range, and an auto-locking rear differential.

Braked towing capacity across the range is rated at 3500kg, while payload figures range from 790kg in all regular Musso models, to 880kg in the Musso XLV Ultimate, and 1025kg in both manual and automatic Musso XLV ELX variants.

A full list of the standard equipment offered with each variant can be found at the bottom of this story.

Six colours are available: Grand White, Silky White Pearl, Marble Grey, Space Black, Atlantic Blue and Indian Red. Metallic hues command a $495 premium.
