The Musso EV is the first electric pickup in Korea and is a new concept pickup vehicle with the comfort, economy, and practicality of an electric SUV. It is suitable for customers seeking a versatile lifestyle.
The battery is equipped with an 80.6 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) blade battery with low fire risk and high durability, and a 152.2 kW drive motor. It is an open loading space unique to pickup and can drive 401km (based on 2WD) per charge, even though it has a large air resistance structure.
Major specifications include △ Utility roof rack △ 17-inch diamond cutting wheel △ Alpine audio system △ Intelligent adaptive cruise control, and △ Sunroof △ AWD △ Self-Levelizer △ 3D Aroundview monitoring system.
The basic price is operated in two trims: △ STD 48 million won △ DLX 50.5 million won. The actual purchase price will be in the late 30 million won (39.62 million won) if it is classified as an electric cargo vehicle and is applied with 6.52 million won more △ government subsidies than passenger electric vehicles and 1.86 million won (expected) as of Seoul.
Other areas with higher subsidies can benefit more. Incheon (3.16 million won), Busan (2.40 million won), Daejeon (2.29 million won), and Daegu and Gwangju (1.92 million won) will be applied. (2WD based on 17 inches)
In addition, small business owners can save about 14.1 million won (expected) by receiving additional support and VAT refunds, lowering the actual purchase price to the 33 million won range.
With the benefits of freight electric vehicles, various tax benefits such as △ individual consumption tax and education tax exemption △ 5% reduction in acquisition tax (up to 1.4 million won) △ 28,500 won in annual automobile tax were added to form a competitive price in the pickup market.
Operational economy is also excellent due to low maintenance costs. The five-year driving cost of the Musso EV is 5.8 million won, which can save about 14 million won compared to the gasoline pickup model.
Meanwhile, KGM will further strengthen its leading position in the pickup market by providing options that encompass a variety of powertrains through the reasonable composition of the 'Rexton & Sports Khan' as well as the electric pickup 'Mousseau EV'.
KGM released Korea's No. 1 authentic pickup "2025 Rexton Sports & Khan" in January, which lowered prices by rearranging trim and options to reflect customer needs. △Rexton Sports 2,952-34.79 million won △Rexton Sports Cannes 3,172-36.99 million won.
The Musso EV boasts overwhelming price competitiveness over internal combustion engine pickups in terms of overall operational economics, including the purchase and use stages due to the nature of eco-friendly vehicles, a KGM official said. "It will be a more economical and practical option in the era of high oil prices."
