About the Ssangyong Musso
Last updated Feb 14, 2025SsangYong Australia has detailed the pricing and standard specification of its updated Musso dual-cab ute ahead of their imminent arrival at local dealers.
Pricing for the updated SsangYong Musso range has risen by up to $1910, depending on the variant. The range now starts $40,000 drive-away for the ELX, and extends to $45,000 drive-away for the Ultimate.
