KG Mobility—formerly known as SsangYong—has officially unveiled the Musso EV compact pickup in Korea, marking its debut ahead of a planned global rollout. This new model is the first under the Musso sub-brand, which will include both electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks. The Musso EV also holds the distinction of being the first fully electric pickup truck from a Korean automaker.

Rugged Design with Familiar Styling
The Musso EV borrows design cues from the Torres EVX SUV but features a longer body, an exposed cargo area, and more rugged details suited for pickup duties. It comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels and a utility roof rack, while a rear canopy is offered as an option. Buyers can also opt for extras like a sunroof, skid plate, cargo divider, sliding bed, and roll bar, allowing for a range of customizations to suit different needs.

Although interior photos haven’t been released, the dashboard is expected to be nearly identical to that of the Torres EVX, featuring dual 12.3-inch displays. Other equipment highlights include an Alpine audio system, intelligent adaptive cruise control, and a 3D around-view monitoring system.
Built on a stretched version of the Torres EVX’s unibody chassis, the Musso EV is powered by a single electric motor that produces 204 hp (152 kW / 207 PS). Power is delivered to the front wheels as standard, with an all-wheel-drive option available for those needing extra traction.
Energy comes from an 80.6 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) blade battery pack supplied by Chinese automaker BYD. KGM claims the 2WD version can travel up to 401 km (249 miles) on a single charge. While no other powertrain options were detailed, the company confirmed that ICE-powered versions of the Musso will be added to the lineup soon.

Competitive Pricing
In its home market, the pickup is priced from ₩48 million (equal to around $33,500 at current exchange rates), but if you add the local EV subsidies, the price for small business owners can drop to as little as ₩33 million ($23,000). This places it right against ICE-powered KGM Rexton Sports pickup, which currently starts at ₩29.52 million ($20,600) following a new discount.
KGM notes that the Musso EV will bring additional savings thanks to the low usage and maintenance costs. More specifically, the cost of driving the Musso EV for five years is officially estimated to be around ₩5.8 million ($4,000), a full ₩14 million ($9,700) less compared to the ICE-powered equivalent.
