He's strong! Why Two-Wheeled Choice Is Higher Than Four-Wheeled Musso EV

If you look at the reason, there is a large difference in mileage. Four wheels with the same motor added to the rear wheels boast twice as much power, but the distance that can be charged per charge is 401km for two-wheel drive and 342km for four-wheel drive, which is 59km apart.The possible low-temperature driving distance, an indicator of winter driving distance, also makes a difference. The two-wheel drive is 357 kilometers, while the four-wheel drive is 297 kilometers, which is less than 300 kilometers.
There is also a difference in subsidies. Due to the difference in efficiency according to the authentication distance, subsidies are also partially reduced for four wheels. In other words, the actual purchase cost difference could be more than 3 million won, not 2.5 million won for four-wheel options.
Of course, there are many advantages of all-wheel drive. In the case of two-wheel drive, the 152.2kW front-wheel drive motor and a reducer with optimal torque tuning will produce a maximum output of 207 horsepower (ps) and a maximum torque of 34.6kgf·m. The AWD model provides dynamic driving performance with a maximum output of 413 horsepower (ps) and a maximum torque of 64.9 kgf·m.
Also, the all-wheel drive (AWD) system monitors the speed of four wheels in real time and performs optimal performance under various road conditions. The self-levelizer system keeps the rear-wheel side garage constant according to changes in loading loads, which is provided only to AWD models.
The battery configuration is the same. It is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) blade battery with a capacity of 80.6 kWh for both two and four wheels.The charging speed supports up to 200 kW for fast charging, allowing 80% charging in 24 minutes.
The loading capacity is the same at 500kg for both two and four wheels.In the end, it seems necessary to make a choice tailored to the individual's use situation in consideration of the mileage and cost-effectiveness of the two-wheel drive, the sense of stability and output given by the four-wheel.
Kagai tested a two-wheel drive model at the Musso EV test drive event. If you use it for work or commuting and enjoy leisure with your family on weekends, two-wheeled driving is much more economical.
Since the Musso EV concept itself is a unibody-based on-road-oriented model, it exerts sufficient power even with two-wheel drive. Moreover, due to the characteristics of electric vehicles, it is difficult to feel that the maximum torque is immediately generated and the power is insufficient. If it is used frequently for business purposes, it is more important to reduce mileage and purchase costs.
The actual contractor selection rate by trim was 45% for MX trim and 55% for black edge. The difference between the two trims is not large, and it is characterized by an even choice. If you look at the reason, most of the safety and convenience specifications are applied to MX trim, so there is not much difference in function.
The price difference between the two trims is 2.5 million won, which is different from utility roof racks, natural leather seats, passenger walk-in devices, second-row heating seats, mobile phone wireless chargers, digital keys, and Alpine audio systems. In addition, black decorations such as black wheels are added, so the appearance is slightly different.
Kai recommended trim is to select MX trim for two-wheel drive and to select two utility roof racks and 3D around view monitoring systems as needed.
Although the black edge looks cool, the Musso EV has a long length of 5160mm like a pickup.It seems good to spend money on around view monitoring choices because loading cargo further limits your field of view when parking. In the case of top accessories, many external items are expected to come out in the future, but if you choose pure, I recommend the deck top.
On the other hand, if small business owners receive additional support and VAT refund, their actual purchase price will be lowered to 33 million won (based on the 17th inch of 2WD). If you are thinking of buying a Musso EV, it is important to check what fits your lifestyle between the efficiency and cost of 2WD and the powerful performance of AWD.
Kagai Recommendation Trim: 2WD MX (48 million won) + Utility Roof Rack (200,000) + 3D Around View Monitoring (1.2 million won) = 49.4 million won
KRW 49.4 million - Seoul subsidies KRW 8.38 million = actual purchase price KRW 41.02 million
