The base-model ELX comes with part-time 4x4 with low- and high-range, auto-locking rear differential, 17-inch alloy wheels, full-size alloy spare wheel, cruise control, air conditioning, leather steering wheel, LED daytime running lights, fog lights, fabric upholstery, 12.3-inch instrument cluster, 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia system, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality and a rear-view camera system.

In addition to (or in replacement of) the ELX accessories, the mid-spec Adventure model comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, synthetic leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, tilt and telescopic steering wheel adjustment and a tyre-pressure monitoring system.

In addition to (or in replacement of) the Adventure accessories, the top-spec Ultimate model comes with heated steering wheel, smart key, HID headlights, keyless entry and a 360-degree view camera system.

An XLV pack is available as an optional extra for all grades and adds 300mm of length to the tray and 20Nm of torque.

On the Ultimate grade you can upgrade to the Luxury pack for extra cost that that adds dual-zone air-conditioning, Dual zone automatic climate control, sunroof, leather upholstery, power adjustable front seats and drivers lumbar.

The facelift sees the cabin of the Musso updated to keep it competitive against its heavyweight rivals.

The dashboard has been redesigned to be more horizontally-themed and highlight the newly integrated large air-vents. It also sits lower than the previous dash but showcases the new upgraded tech screens, a 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia system (up from the previous 8.0-inch system) and the 12.3-inch instrument cluster (up from the old 10.25-inch unit).

A new touchpad climate control panel, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and black headliner round out the cabin's looks.

A small tilt and slide sunroof is available as a part of a 'Luxury Pack', which is an at-cost extra and only available for the Ultimate grade.

The Musso is powered by a 2.2-litre, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with a maximum power output of 133kW and 400Nm of torque (increases to 420Nm with the XLV pack fitted).

The Musso has a six-speed auto transmission and adventure enthusiasts should be happy because this is a proper part-time 4x4 with low and high range.

The SsangYong Musso is only available with five seats in a 2/3 configuration.

Fabric upholstery is the standard trim for the entry-grade ELX model, while the Adventure and Ultimate grades enjoy synthetic leather trims.

Leather upholstery is available as a part of a 'Luxury Pack', which is an at-cost extra and only available for the Ultimate grade.

The rear seat backrest folds down in one piece and features ISOFIX child seat mounts on the outboard seats but the middle seat, no matter the grade-level, only has a lap belt available making it unsuitable children and lowers the safety for a middle seat passenger overall.

The SsangYong Musso doesn't have an official 0-100km/h sprint time but you wouldn't be surprised to see it hit it well-over the 10-second mark. Top speed is around 185km/h.

The official combined fuel cycle is 8.6L/100km for all models without the XLV pack fitted. The figure jumps up to 9.0L/100km with the XLV pack fitted.

Based on the combined cycle and the large 75L fuel tank, you should be able to get a driving range between 833km and 872km.

The Musso takes diesel fuel only.
