Vehicle model
KGM Gamme KGM - véhicules particuliers
Beyond SUVs, KGM's passenger vehicle range is built mainly around the Musso pickup and the more road-oriented variants of its commercial vehicles. The Musso, a mid-size ladder-frame pickup sharing its base with the Rexton, targets buyers needing a bed and good towing capacity at a contained cost, a practical niche for workers and outdoor enthusiasts. Historically, SsangYong also produced more civilian models, but the brand has refocused on commercial vehicles and pickups. These vehicles prioritize practicality and value for money over refinement. Common wheels range from 16 to 18 inches, larger for the Musso. In Quebec, dedicated winter tires are mandatory and particularly important for a rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive pickup. This range is not officially marketed in North America.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS compacts de la marque (Tivoli, Korando) chaussent généralement des jantes de 16 à 18 pouces, tandis que les plus gros modèles (Rexton, Torres) et la camionnette Musso montent souvent du 18 à 20 pouces. Les véhicules coréens utilisent fréquemment un entraxe à 5 trous, mais il faut toujours valider le bolt pattern exact et l'alésage central selon le modèle et l'année avant tout achat de jantes. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés sont obligatoires et essentiels : pour les VUS et la camionnette plus lourds, privilégier un montage hiver adapté à la charge. Conserver des dimensions équivalentes au montage d'origine pour préserver vitesse, calibrage et systèmes d'aide.
