II Overview:
SsangYong Musso (II). With 350 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. At around 2121 kg, it’s on the heavier side. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. The top speed reaches 185 km/h. A vehicle with an open cargo bed at the back, suitable for transporting goods. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Musso II achieved a respectable 4-star Euro NCAP rating in 2018, demonstrating good adult and child occupant protection. While solid, its safety assist systems were noted as adequate rather than class-leading.
