2026 KGM Musso Price in Australia

The KGM Musso is the brand’s established diesel dual-cab ute in Australia and continues alongside the newer Musso EV. For MY26 the range comprises ELX, Advance and Ultimate, with XLV versions available for buyers who need a longer tray and additional load-carrying ability. The Musso is positioned as a value-focused alternative to more expensive mainstream utes while retaining the key attributes Australian buyers expect from a working 4x4.

Power comes from a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. Standard-wheelbase versions produce 133 kW and 400 Nm, while KGM lists 420 Nm for XLV models. The drivetrain uses part-time 4x4 with selectable high and low range and an automatic-locking rear differential, providing useful traction for worksites, camping tracks and low-speed off-road driving.

Capability is a major part of the Musso proposition. Every current Australian model is rated to tow up to 3,500 kg braked. Payload varies by configuration and can reach around 1,010 kg depending on grade, while the XLV Pack adds 300 mm to the tub length and 110 mm to the wheelbase. That makes the longer model attractive to buyers carrying bulky equipment, although its extra length also requires more room when parking or manoeuvring off road.

Official combined fuel consumption starts at 8.6 L/100 km for standard-wheelbase versions and is 9.0 L/100 km with the XLV Pack. Rear suspension uses a multi-link coil-spring layout on the standard Musso, contributing to the more SUV-like ride that distinguishes it from many leaf-sprung work utes. Buyers carrying maximum loads regularly should still select the configuration that best matches their payload requirements.

Cabin equipment has become a strong Musso selling point. MY26 ELX includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Advance and Ultimate add progressively more comfort, including heated and ventilated front seats, upgraded trim and convenience features. Safety equipment includes autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assistance, forward collision warning, driver attention warning, hill descent control, trailer sway assistance and six airbags.

Official Australian colours are Grand White, White Pearl, Space Black, Marble Grey and Amazonian Green. The MY26 range is backed by a seven-year unlimited-kilometre new-car warranty that includes commercial use, plus five years of roadside assistance. For Australian buyers, Musso’s main attractions are towing capacity, warranty coverage, low-range 4x4 hardware and strong equipment for the money. Its limitations include diesel-only power, a six-speed transmission when some rivals use more ratios, and a smaller dealer footprint than the biggest ute brands. Buyers should compare standard and XLV dimensions, payloads and current drive-away offers before choosing.
