KGM Motors is launching the brand's first fully electric pick-up for the UK market with the arrival of the Musso EV.

It is aimed at both business and lifestyle customers who need capability without compromise and builds on more than 55-years of pick-up heritage.

The Musso EV is powered by an 80.6 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery from BYD, a global leader in eco-friendly vehicles, known for its durability and safety. With Cell to Pack technology for increased energy density, it delivers a range of 240 miles and a 20 to 80 per cent charge time of 31 minutes on a 300kW DC rapid charge.

A vehicle-to-load function allows users to power tools, equipment or leisure accessories directly from the vehicle.

Drivers can also adjust regenerative braking in three stages via steering wheel paddles, with the smart system adapting to gradients, traffic conditions, and even speed cameras to optimise efficiency and reduce driver effort.

Performance comes from front and rear 152.2kW motors producing 207ps and 339Nm of torque.

A towing capacity of 2.3 tonnes and a 690kg payload underline its working credentials, with self-levelling suspension. Its dynamic, full-time AWD system continuously monitors wheel speeds for stability and automatically redistributes torque to improve stability on varying surfaces.

The load bed's structure also allows for partitions to be fitted, preventing cargo from shifting, while the reinforced tailgate - capable of supporting 150kg - can also be used as seating for two adults.

At the front it has a black grille, high-tech LED lighting, wheel arches, and diamond-cut alloy wheels.

Inside, the cabin has a clean, ergonomic layout with a panoramic widescreen, and a 12.3-inch digital cluster with a 12.3-inch infotainment display.

There are also heated and ventilated front seats, and 8-way power-adjustable front seats with two-way lumbar support. Second-row passengers have heated seats and SUV-level space, with class-leading legroom and reclining seats.

Safety is also a priority, with 78 per cent high-tensile steel construction, eight airbags, and a suite of driver assistance systems. These include adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and blind spot detection.

A 3D around-view monitoring system further enhances manoeuvrability.

The Musso EV will arrive for customer test drives in May 2026 and will be available at participating dealers only.

Pricing for the Musso EV starts at £42,495 including VAT, utilising the £2,500 Plug-in Van Grant.

Kevin Griffin, managing director of KGM Motors UK, said: "The launch of Musso EV represents a major step forward for KGM in the UK, setting new standards for capability and innovation in the pickup market.

"Its combination of usable electric range, towing and payload capacity, and driver convenience features, it gives both fleet and private customers a genuinely compelling alternative to diesel."
