KGM Musso EV: The Pickup That Wants To Be Both EV and SUV At Once

With up to 400 km of range, 413 hp and the ability to power everything from tools to camping gear with V2L, the Musso EV is an electric pickup that brings SUV comfort and practical workhorse skills together. Prices start around 50,300 dollars – and it looks set to shake up the segment.

Pickup trucks have long been dominated by petrol and diesel engines. But now, South Korea’s KGM (formerly SsangYong) steps onto the EV scene with something we didn’t quite see coming: the Musso EV. This electric pickup doesn’t just promise to haul and tow—it also aims to pamper drivers with SUV-level comfort and up-to-date technology.

An SUV Disguised as a Pickup

While most pickups are built with a rugged ladder frame and sharp edges, the Musso EV takes a different route: it’s a unibody construction, the same design approach used for SUVs. This means a more refined appearance, lower weight, and improved road handling. In short, it looks more like a family SUV with a bed than a traditional workhorse.

Power, Range, and Practical Features

Beneath the surface, the Musso EV features an 80.6 kWh LFP battery pack, offering:

  • Range: Up to roughly 400 km (250 miles)
  • Power: 204 hp (FWD) or 413 hp (AWD)
  • Towing Capability: Ready for trailers and heavy loads
  • V2L Functionality: Power everything from tools to coolers and camping gear directly from the truck

So, it’s not just a vehicle for transport—it’s a mobile power station for daily life, the work site, or outdoor adventures.

Pickup Meets Premium

The cabin is anything but basic. Large digital displays, soft-touch materials, and a layout more reminiscent of a luxury SUV than a typical work truck. You get heated seats, connectivity, and plenty of space—without sacrificing the practicality of the bed.

Not Just for the Few

Pricing starts at around 50,300 dollars (~£39,000 / approx. 360,000 DKK) on international markets, making the Musso EV one of the more accessible electric pickups—especially when compared to giants like the Rivian R1T and Tesla Cybertruck.

A Pickup for the Future

The Musso EV shows that the pickup segment doesn’t have to be stuck in the past. Here’s a vehicle that offers practicality, electric freedom, and everyday comfort in one package. It wasn’t designed to be flashy or futuristic—it was designed to get the job done.

A Different Kind of Electric Debut

The KGM Musso EV may not be the loudest new EV, but it marks a milestone for the brand and brings fresh air to the pickup world. If you want a truck that can haul, comfort, and power your next outdoor adventure—keep an eye on the Musso EV.
