KGM Motors is electrifying the workhorse with the UK debut of the Musso EV; a rugged, all-wheel-drive pickup built to handle the toughest jobs without the tailpipe emissions.

On sale now – and available to experience at next month’s Great British Fleet Event – the fully electric pickup combines the strength and practicality of a traditional workhorse with the comfort of an SUV and the efficiency of an electric powertrain with up to 240 miles of WLTP range.

Priced at £42,495 (incl. VAT and the Plug-in Van Grant), the Musso pickup draws on the strength and legacy of the Musso name but is actually based on the recently launched Torres EVX electric SUV.

It’s aimed at both business and lifestyle customers who “need capability without compromise”, along with “serious towing strength and practical payload capacity”.

Performance comes from front and rear motors producing 207hp and 339Nm of torque. The Musso EV offers towing capacity of 2.3 tonnes and a 690kg payload, with self-levelling suspension and a robust chassis for added support. Its dynamic, full-time AWD system continuously monitors wheel speeds for stability and automatically redistributes torque to improve stability on varying surfaces.

The load bed’s structure also allows for partitions to be fitted, preventing cargo from shifting, while the reinforced tailgate – capable of supporting 150kg – can also be used as seating for two adults, adding versatility for outdoor use.

Power comes from an 80.6kWh lithium iron phosphate battery supplied by BYD under the two firms’ ongoing tech partnership. It’s equipped with Cell to Pack technology for increased energy density, and delivers a range of 240 miles (WLTP) and a 20 to 80% charge time of 31 minutes on a 300kW DC rapid charge. The Musso EV also gets vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality that allows users to power tools, equipment or leisure accessories directly from the vehicle.

Drivers can also adjust regenerative braking in three stages via steering wheel paddles, with the smart system adapting to gradients, traffic conditions and even speed cameras to optimise efficiency and reduce driver effort.

Design leans heavily into an SUV-inspired aesthetic. The sharp, modern face is borrowed from the Torres EVX SUV, featuring an angular front, block-type LED daytime running lights and a three-dimensional black grille. It sits on 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and features ‘tool inspired’ LED tail-lights at the rear, which echo the front’s modern light signature, and a bold KGM emblem. Six colours will be available to choose from, including Grand White, Amazon Green, Space Black, Ultra Marine, Marble Grey and Blazing Gold.

The cabin is designed for a spacious, SUV-like feel and comes with advanced infotainment and comfort and convenience features. A panoramic widescreen integrates a 12.3-inch digital cluster with a 12.3-inch infotainment display powered by Athena 2.0. Comfort is further enhanced with heated and ventilated front seats, and eight-way power-adjustable front seats with two-way lumbar support. Plus, second-row passengers benefit from heated seats and SUV-level space, with class-leading legroom and reclining seats.

The Musso EV pairs a high-tensile steel body with eight airbags and smart assists such as Lane Keeping and Autonomous Braking. A 3D Around-View Monitoring system further enhances manoeuvrability and builds driver confidence.

Kevin Griffin, managing director of KGM Motors UK, said: “The launch of Musso EV represents a major step forward for KGM in the UK, setting new standards for capability and innovation in the pickup market. Its combination of usable electric range, towing and payload capacity, and driver convenience features, it gives both fleet and private customers a genuinely compelling alternative to diesel.”

The Musso EV starts customer test drives in May 2026 and will be available at participating dealers only.

But fleets attending the Great British Fleet Event on 16 April in Milton Keynes can see the Musso EV in the flesh.
