KGM Australia has revealed its revised Musso line-up for 2026, renaming its mid-tier model and adding a suite of features across the range.

The Korean brand – which only recently rebranded from SsangYong to KGM Australia – has rebadged its mid-spec Musso from Adventure to Advance, which continues to sit between the entry-level ELX and top-spec Ultimate variants.

The ELX, Advance and Ultimate models are all available in both standard and XLV guise – the latter a $1500 premium that extends the wheelbase and overall length, giving the ute a larger tub and greater payload capacity.

Musso ELX$42,500

Musso Advance$46,500
Musso Advance XLV$48,000

The ELX picks up only minor upgrades for MY26, with KGM adding electric power steering, Lane Keep Assist and HID headlights to the standard model (not XLV).

The mid-spec Advance gains a suite of new kit including 18-inch black alloy wheels, a black front grille, HID headlights, dual-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel, and privacy rear door glass. Driver assistance upgrades include Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Rear Cross Traffic Warning (RCTW), Lane Change Collision Warning (LCW), and Safety Exit Warning (SEW).

The top-spec Ultimate now incorporates equipment previously reserved for the Luxury grade, including a powered sunroof, eight-way powered front seats and a 360-degree camera. Also new for MY26 are LED headlights, sequential front indicators, powered driver lumbar support, heated rear outer seats and a revised black front bumper and grille. All grades now feature roof rails as standard.

The Musso continues to be powered by a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, producing 133kW and 400Nm (420Nm for XLV). All models include a locking rear differential and a part-time 4WD system.

The range remains covered by a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, with five years of roadside assistance.
