Ssangyong opens the box

JAKARTA: Indomobil is set to launch the Ssangyong Musso -- first shown at last year's Jakarta Auto Expo -- under the name Ssangyong Boxer.

The South Korean four-wheel drive will compete against the likes of Mitsubishi Pajero and Toyota LandCruiser when it goes on sale about midyear. It is expected to be priced about Rp 142 million.

The large off-roader is powered by a Mercedes-Benz 3200cc straight-six engine and features a dual-range transfer case and four-speed automatic transmission.
