2022 SsangYong Musso pricing and features

The 2022 SsangYong Musso is about to arrive in Australia, bringing with it a number of tech and styling updates.

SsangYong has kept the Musso range more or less the same for the new year, with a manual ELX starting from $35,790 drive-away, topping out with the Ultimate Luxury XLV for $46,590.

Prices have increased by $800 across the line-up, while optional metallic paint has gone up by $100 to $595.

With the price changes, the Musso’s digital instrument cluster grows from a 7.0-inch screen to 12.3 inches, along with a new overhead console with LED lights and seatbelt reminders.

On the outside, colour-coded tailgate and door handles and mirror caps will also make a return.

SsangYong Australia has retained the Euro 6-compliant 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, forgoing the updated engines found on overseas models in order to avoid the addition of AdBlue, which requires the full-size spare to be removed in order to fit an under-tray tank.

As with previous models, buyers can opt for an ‘XLV’ pack across all grades for an additional $1500, which adds 300mm to the length of the tub, while moving to heavy-duty leaf springs on ELX variants instead of multi-link rear suspension.

A Luxury Pack is also available for Ultimate variants, adding niceties such as premium nappa leather interior, sunroof, and heated rear seats for $3000.

Engine and driveline

The 2022 SsangYong Musso is powered by a 2.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine producing 130kW and 400Nm – with Ultimate models gaining an extra 20Nm of torque.

All ELX models come standard with a six-speed manual, with an optional six-speed automatic available for an additional $1500. Those who choose an Ultimate variant get the auto as standard.

The Musso comes with selectable part-time low-range four-wheel drive and an automatic locking rear differential for better off-road traction.

Fuel economy has yet to be confirmed for the 2022 model, but nothing should really change from 2021's manual ELX using 7.9 L/100km combined at the lowest figure, rising to 8.9 L/100km for automatic XLV models at the highest.
