Uni Ute |

KGM Musso accessories and SsangYong Musso accessories refer to the same core ute family across the recent Australian market, but fitment is not universal. The biggest distinction is the difference between the standard/short-tub Musso and the longer Musso XLV.

SsangYong rebranded to KGM in Australia, so many owners still search by the older SsangYong name while newer vehicles and dealer information use KGM. This guide keeps both names because accessory fitment depends on the vehicle itself, not the badge wording.

KGM Musso vs SsangYong Musso: Same Vehicle Family, New Brand Name

The Musso has been sold in Australia under the SsangYong name and is now marketed under KGM. For accessory shopping, owners should still confirm the exact year and tub configuration rather than relying on the brand name alone.

UniUte currently carries KGM / SsangYong Musso accessories for the existing 2018–2026 short-tub and Musso XLV long-tub applications shown in our vehicle data.

Musso Short Tub vs Musso XLV Long Tub

The standard Musso and Musso XLV use different tub lengths. KGM states that the XLV adds approximately 300 mm of extra tub length compared with the standard Musso, which is why many tub-mounted accessories are not interchangeable.

Musso type Accessory fitment
Standard / Short Tub Use products specifically listed for the short-tub Musso
Musso XLV / Long Tub Use XLV-specific long-tub products
Musso EV Do not assume diesel Musso/XLV accessories fit unless specifically confirmed

The short-tub and XLV models can share some accessories, but tonneau covers, roller shutters, tub mats, rail guards and canopies are particularly sensitive to tub dimensions.

Important: Musso EV Is a Different Vehicle

The new KGM Musso EV is a separate MY26 vehicle with different body and tub dimensions.

UniUte's current 2018–2026 Musso and Musso XLV products are catalogued for the existing short-tub and XLV platforms. Do not assume they fit the Musso EV unless the individual product page or vehicle selector specifically confirms Musso EV fitment.

This is especially important for covers, canopies, tub mats, rail guards and other products that rely on exact tub dimensions or mounting points.

Musso Tub Mats

UniUte currently lists separate tub mats for the two existing Musso tub configurations:

A short-tub mat should not be expected to fit the XLV correctly, and vice versa. Check the exact tub before ordering.

Musso REVOLVER Hard Rolling Covers

The same fitment split applies to hard rolling covers.

Because the XLV tub is longer, its cover uses a different vehicle-specific fitment from the standard Musso.

Musso Electric Roller Shutters

UniUte currently carries separate electric roller shutters for short- and long-tub Musso applications:

These are vehicle-specific retractable covers. Weather resistance, drainage, locking and fitment depend on correct installation and the exact vehicle setup, so they should not be treated as universally waterproof or identical between the two tub lengths.

Musso Tri-Fold Hard Lids

Current UniUte hard-lid options are also split by tub configuration:

Always check current stock status and fitment on the individual product page before ordering.

Musso XLV Fibreglass Canopies

UniUte's current Musso canopy products are for the XLV long-tub platform.

Current options include:

Do not assume these XLV canopies fit the standard short-tub Musso. The product listing and vehicle selector should be treated as the final fitment reference.

Musso Tailgate Assist

UniUte currently lists the ProLift Tailgate Assist for SsangYong Musso 2018–2026.

Current UniUte vehicle data associates this product with both the short-tub and XLV platforms. A tailgate assist is designed to control tailgate movement and make everyday opening/closing more manageable; it should not be treated as an injury-prevention device.

Musso Side Steps and Running Boards

Current UniUte options include:

These are listed across existing short-tub and XLV vehicle data, but the live vehicle selector should still be used as the final compatibility check.

Musso Rail Guards and Tailgate Protection

UniUte also carries tub-edge protection for the existing Musso platforms:

These products protect specific high-contact areas of the tub and tailgate. They do not replace broader tub protection such as a liner or mat.

What About Sliding Trays and Drawer Systems?

UniUte does not currently list a dedicated Musso-specific sliding tray or dedicated Musso-specific drawer system in the live product catalogue.

For that reason, this guide does not recommend a generic sliding tray or drawer system as though fitment is confirmed. Any universal storage product should be checked carefully for mounting, width, floor clearance and tub compatibility before use.

How to Choose the Right Musso Accessory

Before ordering, confirm:

  • KGM or SsangYong branding does not change the actual vehicle fitment;
  • vehicle year;
  • standard/short-tub vs XLV long-tub;
  • whether the vehicle is the new Musso EV;
  • existing sports bar, liner, rack or other tub-mounted accessory;
  • current product stock and vehicle-selector fitment.

For covers and canopies, tub configuration is usually the most important check.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is KGM Musso the same as SsangYong Musso?

KGM is the current brand name used in Australia after SsangYong rebranded. Many existing vehicles and aftermarket products still use the SsangYong Musso name, so both terms remain relevant when checking fitment.

What is the difference between Musso and Musso XLV?

The XLV has a longer tub. KGM states that it adds approximately 300 mm of tub length compared with the standard Musso, which means many tub-mounted accessories require different fitment.

Will a short-tub Musso cover fit a Musso XLV?

No assumption should be made. UniUte currently lists separate short-tub and XLV versions of products such as REVOLVER covers, electric roller shutters, tub mats and hard lids.

Do existing Musso accessories fit the Musso EV?

Do not assume they do. The Musso EV is a separate vehicle with different dimensions. Only use a product when the product page or vehicle selector specifically confirms Musso EV fitment.

Does UniUte sell a Musso canopy?

Yes, UniUte currently lists fibreglass canopy options for the Musso XLV long-tub platform. Do not assume those XLV canopies fit the standard short-tub Musso.

Does UniUte sell a Musso sliding tray?

There is currently no dedicated Musso-specific sliding tray listed in the live UniUte catalogue.
