The wedges are drawn from this vehicle’s published approach, departure and breakover angles, and the water line marks its published wading depth.
Unladen figures. Approach, departure and breakover angles and ground clearance all reduce once the vehicle is loaded with passengers, cargo or towball weight, so treat these as a best-case guide.

Overview
The 2026 KGM Musso ELX is a 5-seat diesel ute with 4WD and a 6-speed automatic, making 133kW and 400Nm. It's priced from $37,490 drive-away, which is the maker's advertised drive-away price in Victoria. For ute buyers, the key numbers are a 790kg payload and a 3,500kg braked towing capacity, with fuel use listed at 8.6L/100km combined. One thing to keep in mind is that there's no ANCAP rating on record for this variant. It suits someone after a dual-cab 4WD ute for work or towing who wants a long warranty behind it.

KGM Musso TBA
This is the next-generation KGM Musso, the dual-cab ute that will replace the current Musso in Australia. KGM Australia has not yet published it: as of 1 October 2026 its website still lists only the current MY26 Musso, with no price, grades, specifications or register-your-interest page for the new one. Australian motoring outlets report that it is due here in October 2026, and one of them reports that KGM confirmed that timing. Until KGM Australia publishes the car, CarSorted lists no price, grade line-up, engine, towing, payload, dimensions, equipment or warranty for it. The current Musso stays on sale in the meantime. There is no ANCAP rating for the new Musso in our data.
