KGM has announced updates for its Musso and long-wheelbase Musso XLV models as part of the MY26 range, bringing a revised model line-up, more equipment, and fresh styling touches.
The line-up now consists of the entry-level ELX, the newly introduced Advance grade, and the flagship Ultimate. All versions are now fitted with roof rails as standard.
The Advance grade – replacing the outgoing Adventure trim – gains a black front grille and matching black roof rails to set it apart visually. It also adopts a higher equipment level, adding dual-zone automatic climate control, privacy glass for the rear doors, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated leather steering wheel.

At the top of the range, the Ultimate combines the previous Luxury Pack specification with new exterior and interior styling updates. It features LED headlights with sequential indicators, a powered sunroof, 8-way powered front seats, and a 360-degree camera system. The model also debuts a special front-end design, accented by black finishes on the grille, climate control panel, and steering wheel bezel.
The updates follow dealer and customer feedback, with KGM aiming to balance the Musso’s well-known practicality and capability with improved comfort, refinement, and value.
The Musso and Musso XLV continue to target buyers who need a dual-purpose ute – capable of heavy-duty work while still offering passenger car-like convenience and features. With these MY26 changes, KGM hopes to sharpen the Musso’s appeal in Australia’s highly competitive ute market.
Pricing and full technical specifications are expected closer to the MY26 Musso’s Australian release date.
