KGM Musso: Which Version Should You Buy?
The KGM Musso choice comes down to two diesel double-cab pickup versions: the 2.2 e-XDi AT, offered from April 2021, and the 2.2 AT, offered from January 2026. Both produce 202 hp from 2,157 cc, use a 6-speed Automatic gearbox and have AWD.
The KGM Musso choice comes down to two diesel double-cab pickup versions: the 2.2 e-XDi AT, offered from April 2021, and the 2.2 AT, offered from January 2026. Both produce 202 hp from 2,157 cc, use a 6-speed Automatic gearbox and have AWD. The earlier 2.2 e-XDi AT is the lighter, more economical and slightly stronger option on the supplied figures, while the 2026 2.2 AT provides 10 mm more ground clearance. Buyers comparing price or value should note that no KGM Musso price data is available here, so the meaningful comparison is limited to specifications.
KGM Musso generations and versions
The Musso has 2 generations in the catalogue data. This comparison concerns two restylings within the second generation rather than two separate generations.
The second-generation restyling started in April 2021. It uses a Pickup double-cab body and has 1 listed version: 2.2 e-XDi AT. Production has no recorded stop date.
The second restyling of the second generation started in January 2026. It is also a Pickup double-cab and has 1 listed version: 2.2 AT. Its stop date is not measured.
KGM Musso engine specs and specifications
Both versions have a 2,157 cc Diesel engine with 4 Inline cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder and Turbo boost. The engine is mounted Front, longitudinal. Each version produces 202 hp, or 148 kW, at 3,800 rpm. That equals approximately 93.6 hp per litre and 68.6 kW per litre for either engine.
The principal engine difference is torque. The 2.2 e-XDi AT develops 450 Nm at 1,600–2,600 rpm, whereas the 2.2 AT develops 441 Nm over the same 1,600–2,600 rpm range. The earlier version therefore has 9 Nm more torque, a difference of approximately 2.0%.
| Version | Period | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders and layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2 e-XDi AT | From April 2021 | 202 hp (148 kW) at 3,800 rpm | 450 Nm at 1,600–2,600 rpm | 2,157 cc | Diesel | 4, Inline | Turbo | 6-speed Automatic | AWD |
| 2.2 AT | From January 2026 | 202 hp (148 kW) at 3,800 rpm | 441 Nm at 1,600–2,600 rpm | 2,157 cc | Diesel | 4, Inline | Turbo | 6-speed Automatic | AWD |
For the 2.2 e-XDi AT, compression ratio is 15.5 and bore and stroke are 86.2 × 92.4. For the 2.2 AT, compression ratio and bore and stroke are not measured. The fuel-system specification is not measured for either version.
The supplied data does not identify the KGM Musso engine manufacturer, engine-oil specification, engine problems or engine-reliability record. Those subjects therefore cannot be used to distinguish the two versions.
KGM Musso performance, fuel economy and emissions
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is not measured for either version. Maximum speed is 195 km/h for the 2.2 e-XDi AT, while maximum speed is not measured for the 2.2 AT.
The earlier 2.2 e-XDi AT records combined fuel consumption of 9.1, with city and highway consumption not measured. The 2026 2.2 AT records city consumption of 11.1, highway consumption of 9.9 and combined consumption of 10.5. The units for these consumption values are not stated in the supplied data.
On the comparable combined figure, the 2.2 e-XDi AT uses 1.4 less than the 2.2 AT, or approximately 13.3% less relative to the later version’s 10.5 figure.
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City consumption | Highway consumption | Combined consumption | CO₂ | Emissions class |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2 e-XDi AT | Not measured | 195 km/h | Not measured | Not measured | 9.1 | 211 | Euro 6 |
| 2.2 AT | Not measured | Not measured | 11.1 | 9.9 | 10.5 | 206 | Not measured |
The 2.2 AT has a CO₂ figure of 206, which is 5 lower than the 2.2 e-XDi AT figure of 211. The units are not stated in the source data. The earlier version is listed as Euro 6; the later version’s emissions class is not measured.
KGM Musso dimensions, weight and ground clearance
Overall exterior dimensions, bed dimensions, tub dimensions and wheel sizes are not measured for either KGM Musso version. Gross weight is also not measured for both versions, so payload cannot be calculated from the available information.
The 2.2 e-XDi AT has a kerb weight of 2,095 kg and ground clearance of 215 mm. Its fuel tank holds 75 litres. The 2.2 AT has a kerb weight of 2,290 kg and ground clearance of 225 mm; its tank capacity is not measured.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Fuel tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2 e-XDi AT | 2,095 kg | Not measured | 215 mm | 75 litres | Not measured |
| 2.2 AT | 2,290 kg | Not measured | 225 mm | Not measured | Not measured |
The 2026 2.2 AT is 195 kg heavier and offers 10 mm more ground clearance. Because both versions produce 202 hp, their weight-to-power figures differ: the 2.2 e-XDi AT carries approximately 10.37 kg per hp, while the 2.2 AT carries approximately 11.34 kg per hp. The earlier truck therefore has the more favorable figure by approximately 0.97 kg per hp.
Both versions have Independent, spring rear suspension, Ventilated disc front brakes and Disc rear brakes. The 2.2 e-XDi AT also has Independent, spring front suspension. Front-suspension information for the 2.2 AT is not measured.
Which KGM Musso version should you choose?
Choose the 2.2 e-XDi AT if the available specifications are your priority. It matches the 2.2 AT’s 202 hp, 148 kW, 2,157 cc engine, 6-speed Automatic gearbox and AWD, but supplies 9 Nm more torque. It is also 195 kg lighter, has the better weight-to-power ratio and records combined consumption of 9.1 rather than 10.5. A 195 km/h maximum speed, 75-litre tank, Euro 6 classification and fuller front-suspension data are also documented for this version.
Choose the 2.2 AT if the 2026 restyling and increased clearance matter most. Its 225 mm ground clearance exceeds the earlier version’s 215 mm by 10 mm, and its CO₂ figure is 206 rather than 211. The trade-offs in the supplied figures are 9 Nm less torque, 195 kg more kerb weight and combined consumption that is 1.4 higher.
The data does not establish what any extra purchase cost buys because prices and equipment lists are not provided. It also supplies no KGM Musso EV or Musso Grand version. On measurable mechanical and economy figures alone, the 2.2 e-XDi AT is the stronger all-round choice; the 2.2 AT is the version to select specifically for the 2026 restyling and its additional ground clearance.
