The SsangYong Musso has been crowned Drive Car of the Year Best Dual-Cab Ute under $50K for 2024.
Since its arrival in 2019, under the newly established factory backed Australian subsidiary, the first outside of its home country of South Korea, the Musso has received continual applause from Australian consumers. With one of the biggest load and interior spaces in the market, the Musso is a compelling product with a solid reputation.
After months of testing and assessing the category finalists, the experts at Drive judged Musso as the “clear and worthy winner.” Drive’s Director of Content, James Ward said, “The SsangYong Musso is proof that ute buyers looking for value don’t need to miss out on equipment, space, comfort or refinement.”
SsangYong Australia CEO Chris Mandile celebrated the Musso’s recognition as an increasingly popular choice for Australian consumers drawn by its renowned quietness on the road and levels of interior refinement usually associated with premium SUV’s.
Mr Mandile said, “We are thrilled with the announcement, and proud to bring a quality Korean built dual cab ute to the Australian market.”
“Musso owners are some of the most informed buyers, recognising the Musso’s build quality and capability, and it’s great to get the validation from the experts at Drive.”
“We’re excited about 2024. We’re aiming to get another 6,000 Musso’s out to customers this year and continue building on our network of 70+ strong SsangYong dealer partners nationwide.”
SsangYong Musso is backed by a 7-Year Unlimited Km Warranty, which includes commercial use, a unique offering in this category. Furthermore, Musso is covered by a 7-Year Roadside Assistance Program and 7-Year Service Price Menu.
