SsangYong Motor UK is delighted to announce that Musso, its multi-award winning pick-up truck, has received another accolade  – “Best Utility/4×4” at the Scottish Car of the Year (SCOTY) awards.

The judging panel is made up of Scotland’s leading motoring journalists and experts – representing a variety of major print, online and radio outlets. SCOTY judges, all members of the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW), have been repeatedly impressed by the Musso’s winning combination of capability, build quality, space, refinement, comfort, excellent warranty and value for money.

ASMW president, Jack McKeown, said: “The SsangYong Musso is one of the least expensive pick-ups in the market, yet one of the most impressive. Incredible off-road prowess, excellent towing, and cargo capacities make it a real workhorse. Take it on a longer journey and its high levels of refinement will surprise you.”

Designed to carry passengers in comfort and transport loads securely, the SUV-based Musso combines a five-seat crew-cab body style with a workman-like load deck that will take a full-sized Euro pallet, and some.  It also carries a payload of over 1-tonne and tows trailers of up to 3.5 tonnes concurrently to give the highest total load capacity in the segment.  This combination of utility pick-up and SUV means Musso offers the perfect blend of functionality, practicality, performance and comfort to the driver and family or workmates.

Kevin Griffin, managing director of SsangYong Motor UK, said:  “Winning ‘Best Utility/ 4×4’ at the Scottish Car of the Year awards  is yet another achievement, and it’s testament to how fantastic Musso is. Musso is an extremely competent multi-purpose truck with SsangYong values to its core – comprehensively equipped, a class leading 7-year/150,000-mile warranty wrapped up in a value for money package. Musso continues to win awards, which speaks volumes about the modern SsangYong product range.”

Inside, Musso is exceptionally well equipped compared with other pick-ups, and as well as offering excellent shoulder and leg room front and rear, Nappa leather seats can be found on the top of the range model for added luxury and comfort.  DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity feature across the range, while all but the entry level model feature a state-of-the-art infotainment system which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

This latest award for Musso joins honours from Carbuyer, 4×4 Magazine, WhatCar? and Diesel Car Magazine.
