SsangYong Musso

The modern SsangYong Musso (from 2018 onwards) is a robust, highly capable pickup truck that offers unparalleled value for money in the UK commercial market. Based on the Rexton SUV platform, it uniquely features coil-spring rear suspension (on short-bed models), granting it a far more comfortable, SUV-like ride than leaf-sprung rivals like the Toyota Hilux. It boasts a 1-tonne payload and a 3.5-tonne towing capacity, making it a serious workhorse. Reliability is strong, backed by a class-leading 7-year warranty, though the 2.2-litre diesel engine can be thirsty and the infotainment feels slightly dated. It is perfect for builders, farmers, and caravan owners who want maximum capability and comfort on a strict budget.

SsangYong Tivoli

The SsangYong Tivoli is a budget-focused compact crossover that established the brand as a serious contender against the Nissan Juke and Dacia Duster. It prioritized high equipment levels, exceptional interior space, and a class-leading 7-year warranty over brand prestige or driving dynamics. In the UK, it earned a reputation as a robust, sensible choice for families needing practical transport on a tight budget. Reliability is generally good, reflecting its mechanical simplicity, though the manual gearbox can be notchy and early models suffered from a fuel pipe recall. It is ideal for pragmatic buyers wanting maximum space and warranty coverage for minimal money.
