Ssangyong Musso 2022
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Mark Oastler had this to say at the time: No ANCAP rating and only a centre rear lap-belt may be deal-breakers for some, along with rear springs that need to be stiffer for heavy load-carrying.

I am changing over my old Navara D22 and considering a Ssangyong Musso Ultimate. Should I take a risk on a Musso?
My experience has generally been that Ssangyong is a brand with decent reliability. Many people think it’s a Chinese brand, but it’s actually a South Korean company. And when you look at the other South Korean car-makers we see here – Hyundai and Kia – you can see that the country makes some fine vehicles with great reliability and durability.
You’re right about that warranty, too; at seven years of factory cover, it’s one of the best (if not the best) in the business. You’re also right about the relative value-for-money equation. The Ssangyong seems like a lot of vehicle for the money.
Perhaps the only thing that might make you think twice would be the supply of spare and service parts. That said, in 2022, that problem is afflicting a lot of mainstream companies and volume sellers as well as the smaller brands. And from what I can gather, this problem is a bigger one for the Chinese brands than some of the others.
A Musso has a towing capacity of 3500kg (with a braked trailer) so a 1200kg caravan should not trouble it one bit. Take the Musso for a test drive and decide for yourself, but we reckon, after a D22 Navara, you’ll be amazed at how good a modern dual-cab ute can be at this price-point.

Ssangyong Musso 2022 Accessories
The ELX may be the base model in the XLV range but its generous standard equipment list doesn’t read like one, starting with 17-inch alloy wheels and 235/70R17 tyres with full-size spare. There’s also an automatic-locking rear differential, keyless entry, cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, speed/rain-sensing wipers, reverse camera, LED daytime running lights, power folding/heated door mirrors with LED indicators and more. There's also a solid safety menu, headlined by AEB and trailer sway control.
Ssangyong Musso 2022 Interior
There's a leather-rimmed steering wheel (previously plastic at this grade) with multi-function controls, A-pillar grab handles (previously missing) and a quality six-speaker infotainment system with 8.0-inch control touchscreen and multiple connectivity including Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and lots more. However, a lap-belt for the rear seat’s centre passenger is a glaring safety omission.

Ssangyong Musso 2022 Seats
It's not hard to find a comfortable driving position in the fabric-trimmed seats and we liked the large and well-placed left footrest. However, the driver’s base cushion could be improved with some rake adjustment. Like the SWB Musso, the XLV’s rear doors are only 50mm shorter than the fronts, ensuring easy entry/exit even for tall adults and spacious rear seating.
Ssangyong Musso 2022 Speed
The Ssangyong Musso XLV ELX can reach 0-100km/h in about 10 seconds.
