Snapshot
- 2022 SsangYong Musso price and specs announced
- No powertrain changes, but exterior, interior, and tech updates
- Priced from $35,790 before on-road costs
The 2022 SsangYong Musso is about to arrive in Australia, bringing with it a number of tech and styling updates.
SsangYong has kept the Musso range more or less the same for the new year, with a manual ELX starting from $35,790 before on-road costs, topping out with the Ultimate Luxury XLV for $46,590 plus on-roads.
Prices have increased by $800 across the line-up, while optional metallic paint has gone up by $100 to $595.

With the price changes, the Musso’s digital instrument cluster grows from a 7.0-inch screen to 12.3 inches, along with a new overhead console with LED lights and seatbelt reminders.
On the outside, colour-coded tailgate and door handles and mirror caps will also make a return.
SsangYong Australia has retained the Euro 6-compliant 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, forgoing the updated engines found on overseas models in order to avoid the addition of AdBlue, which requires the full-size spare to be removed in order to fit an under-tray tank.

As with previous models, buyers can opt for an ‘XLV’ pack across all grades for an additional $1500, which adds 300mm to the length of the tub, while moving to heavy-duty leaf springs on ELX variants instead of multi-link rear suspension.
A Luxury Pack is also available for Ultimate variants, adding niceties such as premium nappa leather interior, sunroof, and heated rear seats for $3000.

The Musso comes with selectable part-time low-range four-wheel drive and an automatic locking rear differential for better off-road traction.
Fuel economy has yet to be confirmed for the 2022 model, but nothing should really change from 2021’s manual ELX using 7.9 L/100km combined at the lowest figure, rising to 8.9 L/100km for automatic XLV models at the highest.
