The second-generation KGM Musso (code name Q200), initially marketed under the SsangYong brand before the takeover by the KG Group, is a robust pickup truck based on the ladder frame chassis of the Rexton SUV. Known as the Rexton Sports in South Korea, it is available in a standard version (coil spring rear suspension) and an extended 'Grand' or 'Khan' version (available with leaf springs for increased payload). Although the European market is dominated by the excellent 2.2 e-XDi diesel engine, this sheet focuses on the 2.0 e-XGDi Turbo (G20DTR) petrol engine, which is highly popular in Asian, Middle Eastern, and South American markets. This pickup stands out for its excellent price-to-equipment ratio, its spacious cabin (inherited from the Rexton), and its 3.5-tonne towing capacity, altho
The KGM (SsangYong) Musso Q200 is an extremely rational choice for those looking for a spacious, well-equipped double cab pickup capable of heavy towing, without paying the premium price of a Ford Ranger or a Toyota Hilux. The 2.0 e-XGDi petrol version is an interesting alternative in regions where diesel is banned or for low-mileage drivers, offering appreciable quiet operation. However, one must be prepared to accept very high fuel consumption (easily 12L/100km in mixed use). Overall mechanical reliability is very good, supported by a proven Aisin gearbox, provided that maintenance intervals are strictly respected.
