Our opinion

The practical view.

“Shortlist it for the way it fits your household, not for a headline acceleration or range number.”

Why it belongs on a shortlist

  • 266 kW and 630 Nm combined
  • 805 kg published payload
  • Current KGM configurator lists 2,300 kg braked towing

Trim guidance: The older MY26 brochure lists 1,800 kg. Confirm the 2,300 kg rating for the exact VIN and approved towbar before purchase.

Conservative planning allowance derived from the published WLTP figure; it is not a guaranteed real-world result.

Problems, recalls and evidence

What might annoy you.

  • ANCAP lists the Musso EV as unrated and issued an airbag alert.
  • KGM quotes a charging-station rating for its time test. The vehicle’s peak DC rate is unverified.

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.

TechManPat practical fit

Not tested - yet.

Catalogue research is not a physical family-living test, so this vehicle does not receive a TechManPat Tested badge.

The future test covers a rear-facing child seat, pram and shopping, dog crate, boot opening, rear doors, adult rear comfort, easy entry, parking, visibility, controls and real-world efficiency.
