KGM Musso EV: electric pickup, battery and versions
KGM Musso EV — the first electric pickup from the South Korean manufacturer, unveiled in 2025. In this article, we review its battery, transmission, cargo capabilities, and what buyers need to know.
Musso EV in brief
Musso EV — a mid-sized electric pickup from KG Mobility (KGM, formerly SsangYong). Officially unveiled on March 5, 2025, in Pyeongtaek, it's the first Korean electric pickup. The design was first previewed by the KGM O100 concept in 2023.
The body is designed with the “Handy and Tough” concept: the cargo area and cabin are integrated, looking like a single body. The model is presented as an urban electric pickup, rather than a classic workhorse.
Two transmission options
The model features an 80.6 kWh LFP (“Blade”) battery. In Australia, two variants are listed: dual motors with all-wheel drive or a single front motor with front-wheel drive.
The difference is crucial when choosing: the AWD version is more useful on slippery roads and when towing, while the FWD is simpler and more economical. Specific power and range figures depend on the market and version, so they should be checked in the vehicle's documentation.
Cargo and interior
According to the manufacturer, the cargo area's load capacity is up to 500 kg. The vehicle has a covered cargo area, a protective bar, and a sliding cover.
The second-row seats recline and slide, and the battery allows for V2L functionality — you can power electrical devices from the car. This is handy for travelling or working outdoors.
What to check when buying a Musso EV
The model is very new, so there aren't many used ones on the market yet. The key points are the battery condition (SOH), charging history, and whether the manufacturer's warranty is still valid, including the battery.
Check the charging port and cable, the cover mechanism for the charging compartment, the underbody, and the suspension if the car has been used commercially or with a trailer. Find out if the car was officially introduced to the ES and how it is serviced.
Trim levels
Trim names vary by market; we don't list European market names, so we describe trims by gearbox.

Gearbox comparison

| Battery | 80.6 kWh LFP | 80.6 kWh LFP |
| Cargo area | Up to 500 kg | Up to 500 kg |

If you mostly drive in the city, FWD is simpler and cheaper. AWD is worth considering if you need grip on slippery roads or towing.
