Pick-ups, vehicles equipped with an open cargo box, are usually used to carry out all kinds of professional activities in the most unfavorable conditions. Its robustness and off-road qualities allow access to places where a standard car cannot reach and the load capacity of its boxes allows it to transport the necessary tools to carry out the work.
On the other hand, these vehicles have a double facet, since they have also become models for leisure, an excellent alternative for fans of the campervan vehicle who need a car with a certain mechanical simplicity, but which maintains outstanding off-road qualities, based on in elements such as all-wheel drive, reducing gears or good body angles.
The current offer of pick-ups is not extensive. Some of the most charismatic and dominant models on the market, such as the Nissan Navara or the Mitsubishi L200, have ceased production. Nor did the recent bet of Mercedes-Benz, which tried to gain a foothold with the X-Class, finish consolidating.
Available from 26,500 euros, the new generation of the Ssangyong Musso Sports (5.40 m in length) stands out for the enormous capacity of its cargo box and for high load capacity figures, up to 1,085 kg in the Pro version with manual gearbox . The interior offers high-quality materials and the rear seats have generous legroom, as well as reclining seat backs.
The available engine is a 2.2-liter diesel capable of producing a power of 202 CV and can be associated with a manual or automatic gearbox, always with six speeds. To offer the best off-road performance, it is equipped with a connectable all-wheel drive system, with a gearbox, rear limited-slip, and hill descent control.
The Korean model also stands out in sections such as connectivity and security. Depending on the finish, you can have automatic dual-zone climate control, cruise control, a multimedia system with a touch screen, etc. Equipment such as the electronic stability program, trailer sway control, active anti-roll system or a brake distributor between axles, guarantee excellent safety.
The pick-up offer in the Spanish market is completed with the models that we present below.
