New KGM Musso Rhino will launch in July after its CV Show debut next week

KGM Motors UK will unveil its next-generation diesel pick-up at the CV Show next week, giving visitors their first look at the all-new KGM Musso Rhino ahead of its UK launch on 1 July.

Positioned above the current Musso Saracen, the Rhino is the next step in the evolution of the Musso range with a more upmarket interior and revised exterior design.

The new Musso Rhino pick-up truck sits at the top of the diesel line-up, alongside the existing Musso variants, as KGM looks to strengthen its position in the UK pick-up sector with a broader product offering that now also includes a fully electric alternative.

Under the bonnet, the Musso Rhino is powered by KGM’s 2.2-litre e-XDi diesel engine, paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox and selectable four-wheel drive as standard.

It retains the core working spec expected in the pick-up segment, with a towing capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes and payload of more than 1,000kg.

Design changes include a more bolder front end, with a higher stance, while the cabin has been revamped with improved materials and updated technology.

The Rhino also brings an expanded suite of driver assistance and convenience features, including adaptive cruise control, speed assistance systems, a 3D around-view monitor and smartphone connectivity via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There's also four-wheel drive, a limited-slip differential and ground-view monitoring.

Alongside the diesel debut, KGM will also display the all-new KGM Musso EV, its first fully electric pick-up, as well as the Musso Saracen and the Rexton Commercial.

The Musso EV qualifies for the £5,000 Plug-in Van Grant and attracts a 4% benefit-in-kind rate for 2026/27, with prices starting from £39,995 including VAT.

Kevin Griffin, managing director at KGM Motors UK, said: “This year’s Commercial Vehicle Show is a significant moment for us at KGM. We are delighted to confirm that we will be unveiling the all-new Musso Rhino on our stand. "

"It is the next-generation Musso that many operators have been waiting for, delivering the durability and capability the name is known for, with a big step forward in design, refinement and technology.”
