Welcome to the Ssangyong Musso Vs Isuzu D-Max showroom comparison for 2022. Some manufacturers have been quite busy over the last few years and due to short supply caused by the on going pandemic. One manufacturer is Ssangyong. It’s a South Korean brand and the model is called the Musso. Isuzu The D-Max is one of the newest utes on sale and has found a firm following as the mainstream alternative that the Nissan Navara once had.
Ssangyong Musso Vs Isuzu D-Max exterior comparison: The only area which the D-Max differs is the beaver like front end. In comparison the Musso uses the same styling trick on the front end but with an overly large grill resembling the Ford F-150. mind you it previously resembled the Subaru Baja. We could live with the large mouth Musso cover the D-Max. Although we prefer the same Isuzu D-Max with the Mazda BT-50 styling and badges.
Ssangyong Musso Vs Isuzu D-Max interior comparison: We refer the Musso interior despite being based on the older and even more conservative design language. There is nothing special about either interiors that says buy me. These are tarted up light commercial vehicles after – but the Musso does it better for the price.
Ssangyong Musso Vs Isuzu D-Max engine and technology comparison: There is a sameness in the tech and engine specifications in 2022 and the two models reinforce that view. Both are equipped with a single turbo diesel between 130-150kw or power and toque between 400-500Nm and basic safety systems etc… Neither stand out in terms of specifications apart of the Musso having the choice of 2 wheel bases. The Isuzu has a long history of decent reliability which is a type of technical specification that you can’t really put on paper.
Ssangyong Musso Vs Isuzu D-Max drive comparison: N/A
The winner of the Ssangyong Musso Vs Isuzu D-Max comparison is the Musso. The Ssangyong is cheaper for virtually the same spec and that’s why it wins. It’s a brand or history argument if price isn’t a factor. Isuzu is a known factor where as the latest Musso is not. Give the brand a few more years to establish a decent reputation with the Musso and it may be a recommend choice – if the price still undercuts the competition. Give it the Musso a go you may be surprised.
