Overview
PICK-UPS are big business in Australia, and South Korean car-maker SsangYong is clearly well aware having brought its Musso ute to market late last year.
As the only Korean-built pick-up on the market, the Musso occupies an interesting space with its value-laden, feature-rich and well-refined package.
To bolster the range, SsangYong has now brought to market a larger XLV version that features a stretched wheelbase, longer rear tray and – in base ELX form – leaf-sprung rear suspension.
SsangYong obviously has high hopes, with the brand predicting the lion’s share of customers to gravitate towards the Musso XLV, but does adding more room unbalance an already impressive offering?
