- 2024 Ssangyong Musso pricing and features
- New infotainment, improved ride comfort, lighter tailgate
- Auto-only ute priced from $40,000 drive-away
The updated 2024 Ssangyong Musso dual-cab ute has arrived in Australia.
The manual transmission has been deleted for 2024, with the price of entry climbing $3210 to $40,000 drive-away for the base Musso ELX auto – similar to a four-wheel-drive, automatic GWM Ute or LDV T60 Max, as Australia’s most-affordable new off-road utes.
Prices have increased by up to $1910 for carryover automatic variants, while the Korean brand has added a mid-spec Musso Adventure variant.

A new high-mounted 12.3-inch infotainment system replaces the previously integrated 8-inch unit. It remains paired with the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, while front USB-C ports replace USB-A in the centre console.
The Musso now features a soft opening and easy-close tailgate said to reduce physical effort by 45 per cent.
Ride comfort has been improved with enhanced isolation from road imperfections, thanks to re-engineered body-to-chassis mounts.
The Ultimate Luxury Pack variant adds a full touchscreen design for the dual-zone climate control, touch-sensitive front door locks, and a walk-up welcome system.
The Musso continues to lack a full lap/sash seatbelt for the centre seat, with a lap belt that would likely impact its safety score if it was tested by ANCAP.
