SsangYong Musso XLV Ultimate long-term review | 4X4 Australia

- It was with us for 12 months, but thanks to COVID and its numerous lockdowns and border closures, the mighty Musso only racked up 10,000km during that time.
It got up to the Victorian High Country a few times, supported numerous road tests and photo shoots as our photographer’s car, and there were a couple of interstate drives squeezed in there when we could.

We are the Korean off-road channel. We're also riding a Musso Grand car. Thank you for showing the great Musso Grand video.👍
They are by far the most underrated ute on the market. I own a short wheelbase version, top of the line model with leather, electric seats and sunroof, and it has been excellent, especially since I drive long distances. They are quite capable, and also well built. And so QUIET to drive.
I've had my XLV Ultimate for nearly 10 months and have done 30k km. I got it as a work vehicle and we paid $38k drive away with 7 yrs unlimited km warranty, roadside assistance, capped price servicing plus 3 yrs free servicing. Having owned Holden Colorados previously I have to say the Musso is a pleasure to drive and work out of and is hands down the best value 4x4 ute on the market. It has plenty of power ( blew the doors off the boss' BT50) and interior space, features and comfort the opposition just can't match. The tub is positively enormous and coupled with the (overpriced) canopy I can store a massive amount of gear in the back. My Musso has been the guinea pig for our company vehicles and now the boss is looking to add more to the fleet as the current vehicles come up for replacement.
If people take a good look at their spec sheets and test drive one they wouldn't look anywhere else - people just need to look past the name and preconceived notions.
Cheers Ben for sharing your experience. I'm about to pull the trigger on one and your experience has helped ease a little bit of the anxiety.
What did you have prior?
@@nervotica7991 I had an RG Colorado LTZ.
Awesome honest review, thanku. My son has just ordered the 2021 model, I've driven it with him yesterday. We love it. Very impressive!👍
They are good quality utes we have one very happy with it
Excellent car. Excellent review. More power to your channel.
Awasome vehicle, just did 3400km trip in 2022 Ssangyong Musso Ultimate Lux LWB: quiet, nice riding, averaged actual fill to fill with a 3XM canopy, 500kg of load (tools, mower, chainsaw, extra Battery, 95L fridge, and plenty of other stuff, was absolutely chock a block loaded) 8.2L per 100Km driven at speed limit with plenty of overtaking. Pleasant, responsive, nice handling, good brakes (4 wheel discs) awesome seats, NVH was bloody good, safety suite is nice: lane departure warning on a long trip great if getting tired otherwise a bloody annoyance: mostly kept off. Surprisingly good at overtaking, my last vehicle was a Subaru Forrester XT Turbo: this is more comfy, quieter, more relaxing. Similar economy despite extra tonne being lugged..
Amazing review mate
Good review dude
Good review
Ssangyong Musso 2021 new elx auto 4x4 $35000 drive away in Victoria comes with 7 years unlimited km warranty, best ute in this price worth every single dollar
Living in NSW
can you do a review on the new musso 2022 thanks
perfect car
Mercedes designed diesel engine, 6 speed Japanese auto, same as in toyota's and dmax's, American eaton diff. Korean toughness and reliability. Pretty hard to beat.
I purchased a 2020 Ultimate XLV with coil springs, stock, knowing that the ride was too bouncy and jittery for my taste as all other positives covered this short fall. I put on 265/65R18 RT tyres on factory wheels that improved the ride a bit albeit with fair bit more noise. The tyres scrubbed the inner guards on 3/4 lock so I got the Ironman suspension lift kit (comfort at front and constant load at the back). Srcubbing was better but still present at full lock which eventually got sorted after an wheel alignment at cost of the handling. I think they played with camber/castor to rid of the scrubbing. I'm about to take it back for re-alignment as I can live with the small amount of scrubbing. Unfortunately the Ironman suspension kit didn't provide any relief from the poor ride. And it doesn't get better with weight at the tray. I think the too much tray flex itself is a part of the problem. Been searching everywhere for alternate suspension kits/systems to no avail. Shame that no other aftermarket supplier wants to know about this ute. I'm even searching through Korean suppliers but most of them aren't expert in off roading requirements. The ute just clocked 11k kms, the engine started to free up about 5k and is fairly punch now AND is still very quiet.
I got the same tyres on the factory wheels and no scrubbing issue at all, mine is 2022 swb so just wondering if it is an issue with the pre facelift models?
Hi there,
Could u pls review the new Ssangyong Musso 2022 just the same what u did in this video. I like the way you reviewed it. Thank you. ✌🏽
You mean the 2021 model
@@trav33333 Yes the Facelift the very brand new one. Thx again
you'll go a fair way cutting off that front bumper and putting an ironman bullbar on, increases the approach angle significantly
Had mine for 2 years ( the short arse one) mainly driven on sealed roads like the vast majority of other 4 x4's for the price hard too beat
Would like one with a tray and canopy
I'm seriously considering trading in my Jimny for one of these
Great ute just bought one after a triton fuck they drive so nice i tow a chippy trailer to work on the daily and it feels like nothing is behind me great ute and fuel economy
I don’t know why the musso in the Philippines has a different interior than the musso in Australia. The latter looks bigger, spacious and good looking.
A lot of car reviewers in the Philippines but they don't test the new cars off-road like Australia... Or river crossing
Does anyone know how this ute tows a 2000kg-2700kg ish caravan???
Mercedes Engine. Toyota Gearbox. Interior by Pininfarina . 7 year warranty. Made in Korea . 40k . Why wouldnt you.
They always only tell you the good points. And they may suit a lot of people who just need that bit extra at the boat ramp. Look at Roothy's reviews of the mahindra.
.....I guess you were not paying attention....
The two vehicles are chalk and cheese. Even toyota still don't match the SsangYong Musso Ultimate for safety specs and features.
Hi everyone.
I am thinking to buy this car or toyota hilux.
It is 2 years since you made this movie so please let us know how it is now?
I'd like to know how long this car will live, how many miles this car can do before its dead.
I have one since 2018. I have clocked 110000km to it. Not a sigle problem. The best car I ever had !
Fantastic, I might have to trade my Jeep
Why can't we get this in America? 😢
Cause you get f 150 s
Did SsangYong pay you do this review? Please be honest.
BUY ONE. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED...
I’ll only except a whistlindiesel car review
But it's that feeling you get from owning a Toyota Hilux is it tough rigid and will go the distance
Go the distance, haha. Tell that to all the owners with recalls on faulty dpf's in the new models. Class action against Toyota.
I love my Hilux. Things have worn out but I still love it like a faithful Labrador
I wish they survive bankruptcy, they have good cars
They have! That's why there is a new Musso and Rexton
@@nathanielmartyr-gogerly2408 there is a new bankruptcy since then mate! Endless struggle is what this carmaker does
@@leventelovei394
That's all car manufacturers.
They have 8 potential buyers who are bidding for it. Have been around for decades so will be sold and carry on as normal.
A few Korean companies and a large American conglomerate are fighting to buy them. Because Ssangyong has heavily invested, retooled and set up for electric vehicles its an attractive buy for these investors.
You Don't Need Music, Please Tell Tell People About the 4x4, You Don't Have to Be in The Shit Thank you.

Yes a lot of people in Australia think they are Chinese
Damn they’re ugly and not that much cheaper than a brand named vehicle that has no chance folding
It's hard to buy a car from a company nearing bankruptcy and the brand name sounds like chinese so people who doesn't know it will also assume.
Ssangyong is Korean
Yep I know what you mean. I always thought Ssang Yong was CHinese and avoided it for that reason. When I found out they were Korean (about 6 months ago) i looked into them. The Musso is now on my short list.
>"long term review"
>12 months owned
>Thats 12 covid lockdown months
>10k kms
Agreed 10ks not even enough for it to start showing any issues
@@Jacobtheunwise I do agree but unless any vehicle is a personally owned vehicle, most of these journalist's only get the cars leant to them by the manufacturers for a week or two anyway. So I think 10,000km's is better than some new car reviews which would only get 1000km's with them if they're lucky.
@@barryfarznarkin1363 yeah mate true
@@barryfarznarkin1363 Look into the shady side of automotive journalism. If a reviewer (especially youtubers) gets a car from X manufacturer and gives a bad review, they won't have access to future releases from the same X manufacturer. The manufacturers incentivises shilling. Similar thing took place in the Computer industry with INTEL and AMD essentially doing the same scummy thing.

.....please explain....
Would like to know what do you drive? And if you have even set foot in one of these magnificent Musso's?
Garbage, just as good as the ldv crap.
Of course any idiot that owns one would tell you how great they are.
you realise they AREN'T chinese, right?
Glad you mentioned that, ever noticed how many people tell you how great their 76 series are, why, cause they paid through the nose for an incredibly useless vehicle, but they'll tell you over and over what a great truck it is cause they won't admit how incredibly stupid they were.
I'm not one of them, owned a 76 thinking it was the supreme 4x4.
Never again, so don't presume people owing and praising a vehicle implies it's a good vehicle, but these Sangyong trucks are impressive, so drive one prior to bagging them out.
LDV? That’s a Chinese brand - what’s Ssangyong (Korean - same as Kia or Hyundai) got to do with LDV?
Idiotic comment. Where do you think those established ute were made from.. Yes! Thailand mate.
Based on what evidence are you judging that these are garbage? Please persuade me
