Following the reveal of the new-generation Musso Rhino earlier this year, Korea's KGM has confirmed prices for its new pick-up will start from £38,995+VAT for Rhino models and £39,995+VAT for the Rhino+ version.

The Rhino and Rhino+ models sit above the existing KGM Musso Rebel and Saracen in the firm's line-up, and are on sale at dealers now.

Both models are powered by KGM's 202PS 2.2 e-XDi diesel engine and come standard with a six-speed automatic gearbox and selectable four-wheel drive. 

Design features include LED lights, 18-inch alloys and an embossed KGM logo on the tailgate, while buyers have the choice of Space Black, Marble Grey, Amazon Green, Marine Blue, Smoke Taupe and Grand White colours.

Inside, both models get heated front and rear leather seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment screen with TomTom navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Wireless phone charging, rear USB-C charging ports and remote key engine start also feature.

Off-road tech includes hill start assist and hill descent control. The Rhino features 245mm minimum ground clearance, a 30.9 degree approach angle and a 27.8 degree departure angle. The Rhino+ offers 248mm minimum ground clearance, and 30.6 degree approach and 24.5 degree departure angles.

Both the Rhino and Rhino+ have a 3.5-tonne towing capacity. The Rhino has a gross train weight of 6750kg, while the Rhino+ offers slightly more, at 6900kg.

Storage-wise, the Rhino has a load bed capacity of 1011 litres and a payload of 1090kg, and has been designed to carry a Euro pallet with ease.

The Rhino+ increases this to 1262 litres and 1200kg respectively - figures which KGM claims give it the biggest pick-up load bed by volume.

KGM has been building pick-ups since 2002, with the Musso Sports. Musso means Rhino in Korean, which - according to the brand - is "synonymous with durability, strength and real-world utility."

Ask HJ

Why aren't Japanese boxy vans and pickups sold in the UK?

Is there a reason why Japanese auto makers don't export these vehicles to the UK. I am amazed with the versatility of these vehicles and how they seem to cope with even the very heavy snow in the north of Japan.
Kei cars are a vehicle type created to satisfy certain regulations in Japan, giving people the option to own a vehicle with low insurance and tax as well as generally being exempt from parking regulations which demand the owner has somewhere to park it before being allowed to own a car. There is a very diverse range of kei cars which includes vans, pickups, sports cars and even convertibles, but the main issue with them being exported is the cost. Small cars cost almost as much as larger cars to produce and ship, but the profit margin is much smaller. While they have something of a cult following in Europe the reality is that the market for them would be so small as to make them financially unviable. There is also the fact that their strict exterior dimensions - 3.4 metres in length and 1.48 metres wide - could make driving them among towering SUVs a less than enjoyable experience.
