KGM Motors UK has confirmed it will showcase its all-new Musso at the Commercial Vehicle Show 2026 next week, ahead of its planned market launch in Q3, giving visitors the first opportunity to see its latest-generation diesel pick-up in the metal, ahead of its planned market launch in Q3.

Following last week’s announcement that the all-new Musso EV will appear at the show, the addition of the Musso, with the trim level aptly named Rhino, significantly strengthens KGM’s presence and underlines the brand’s intent to lead with a complete pick-up proposition. With Musso EV representing the electrified future, Musso Rhino brings the next chapter of KGM’s diesel capability for operators who want familiarity, while benefiting from a step-change in design, cabin quality and technology.

The next-generation Musso, which sits above the current Rebel and Saracen variants, builds on more than 70-years of commercial vehicle heritage and the established success of its award-winning predecessor, carrying forward the Musso name – the Korean word for Rhinoceros - that has become synonymous with durability and real-world utility.

The latest model introduces an assertive front-end design and a higher, more purposeful stance, paired with a substantially upgraded interior that focuses on improved materials, smarter technology integration and a more refined driving environment.

Power comes from KGM’s e-XDi 2.2 litre diesel engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and a selectable four-wheel drive system as standard. The pick-up can also tow up to 3.5-tonnes and carry over 1,000kg in payload.

It is equipped with new top-level safety systems, including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (IACC), and Intelligent Speed ​​Warning, to safely protect the driver and passengers. In addition, it delivers stable and reliable driving performance through high-end convenience features, such as a 3D around-view monitoring system, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as off-road specialised features such as a four-wheel drive (4WD) system, a limited-slip differential (LSD) system, and Clear Sight Ground View (CSV).

At the event, visitors can also explore the all-new Musso EV, Korea’s first fully electric pick-up, which combines the running-cost advantages of electric power with the versatility of a double-cab pick-up and the comfort and refinement of an SUV. Musso EV now benefits from the full £5,000 P-iVG, bringing the on-the-road proposition to £39,995 including VAT, and attracts 4% Benefit in Kind for 2026/27, delivering a personal tax charge from just £30 per month.

Kevin Griffin, Managing Director at KGM Motors UK, said “This year’s Commercial Vehicle Show is a significant moment for us at KGM. Following our announcement that the Musso EV will debut at the show, we are delighted to confirm that we will be unveiling the all-new Musso Rhino on our stand. It is the next-generation Musso that many operators have been waiting for, delivering the durability and capability the name is known for, with a big step forward in design, refinement and technology. We look forward to welcoming visitors to stand 5C30 in Hall 5 to see Musso Rhino alongside Musso EV, Musso Saracen and the Rexton Commercial Vehicle.”

KGM can be found on stand 5C30 in Hall 5 at the Commercial Vehicle Show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham from 21^st to 23^rd April, 2026.
