KGM Musso Rhino+ hits 6,900kg GTW to challenge pick-up rivals

and a 5-year/100,000-mile warranty, according to Griffin in an SMMT interviewSMMT.

Both derivatives share KGM's 2.2 litre e-XDi diesel, 202 PS and 400 Nm, through an Aisin six-speed automatic. Where they split is off-road geometry and towing headroom: Rhino gets 245mm ground clearance and a 27.8 degree departure angle, Rhino+ has a shallower departure angle (24.5 degrees) but what KGM calls a segment-leading 6,900kg gross train weight against Rhino's 6,750kg. That's the kind of spec fleets running trailers or plant will actually check before spreadsheets, not brochures, decide the order.

Why this matters: With payload and GTW now genuine differentiators between two models in the same range, fleet buyers need to match the variant to the job rather than default to the base Rhino - Rhino+'s higher gross train weight and 1,200kg payload could justify the spec jump on its own.
