The Daewoo Musso, produced between 1997 and 2000, is a robust 5-door SUV built on a body-on-frame chassis, reflecting a strong heritage rooted in SsangYong's design and shared engineering with Mercedes-Benz, particularly its 2.9-liter turbocharged inline-5 cylinder diesel engine. This vehicle, often noted for its off-road capability and sturdy construction, offered a part-time 4WD system with selectable transfer case options. Its engineering quality and reliability are highlighted by its shared components with contemporary Mercedes-Benz vehicles, providing a solid foundation for both on-road comfort and off-road performance.
