FactThe Musso won a desert rally, the 1994 Rallye des Pharaons in the 4WD class, before Europe knew the name.
The Musso SUV (FJ) was a collaboration between SsangYong and Daimler-Benz, styled by Briton Ken Greenley (Auto Design Award at the 1994 and 1996 Birmingham Auto Shows) and first produced in 1993; it won the Rallye des Pharaons for 4WD vehicles in October 1994 and was facelifted in 1998. Engines were the Mercedes-Benz M104 2.8 and 3.2-litre inline sixes, the M111 2.3 four, and the OM601 2.3 four and OM602 2.9 five diesels (naturally aspirated or turbo intercooler from 1997). It also sold as the Daewoo Musso in the UK from 1995 to 1999 (when Daewoo took over; the Daewoo Musso was made until 2002), the Mercedes-Benz Musso in Asia, the Chrysler Musso Libero in Vietnam, the TagAZ Road Partner in Russia and the Korando Family in Spain, with a truck-bed Musso Sports (2002–2006).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.
