IT CAME AS A SURPRISE TO many (especially people who haven’t been keeping up to date) when the KGM Musso won Drive’s Car of The Year Best Dual-Cab under $50K against some heavy-hitting competitors. Now, KGM has announced further updates for the 2026 Musso range.
The practicalities of space and capability without missing out on equipment, comfort and refinement continues with the addition of increased value from changes inspired by dealer and customer feedback.
There’s a new line-up for both the Musso and Musso XLV, consisting of the regular ELX, a new Advance grade and Ultimate at the top of the range. All grades are now equipped with roof rails.
The Adventure grade is renamed Advance and is illustrated by a prominent black front grille with matching black roof rails. It also receives other high-grade features like dual-zone automatic climate control, privacy glass for the rear doors, heated and ventilated front seats and a heated leather steering wheel.
The range-topping Ultimate’s premium features have been consolidated with the previous top grade Luxury Pack. Ultimate includes highlights such as, powered sunroof, 8-way powered front seats, 360-degree camera and shows its individuality by sporting an all-new, special design front face with LED headlights and sequential indicators. Black finishes are also applied to the front end, the climate control panel and steering wheel bezel inside.
