Isuzu MU-X

I purchase the newly release my2025 Isuzu mux x-terrain in April 2025, model was release end of march 25. on my 3 months service I told the service departmart that no heat was coming out of the rear console to heat the back passagers . the service… Read more

adviser had no idea and said that hot air only comes out of the front then he was pressing all buttons and looked like had no idea, in the rear roof there is A/C only then he said it should come out of the roof. I had the previous model and i said to him that thats only cold air from the roof and heat comes out of the front and back console. he disagreed with me. I left the car and late that day i recieves a call from the dealer Izusu sales manager that said sorry the vehicle doesnt come with rear heat anymore on the MY25 Isuzu MUx has removed the heating and never told dealers, he said he called another dealer to find out as isuzu didnt tell dealers of the deleted item from the prevoius models. unfortrently Isuzu doesnt provide any training on new car releases to sales or service. beware the new MY25 Isuzu MUX doesnt have no heating in the rear of the MUX SUV. it sad to say someone in design team at izuse cost cutting, why would you remove heating in the back of a large SUV. unfortently my grand daugher sitting in her booster seat needs more jackets to be comforable and warm due to cost cutting Izusu vehicles. the cost to have heating coming out of the rear console that has the vents already fitted would be just duct work under the centre console. FYI Isuzu design team, why dont you ask the customers for feed back before you change design and keep up with the other car manufacture on giving what customer need and not just cut something to save $100. i am localed in Victoris Australia where it get cold in winter. this is was third Isuzu and last after this issue, i would ask anyone looking to buy the new MY25 please not the is NO HEATING COMING OUT OF THE REAR CONSOLE VENT, REAR PASSANGER WILL BE COLD AS A SEVEN SEATER THEY WILL BE FREZING. only cold air in the back seals.

A great family car option for those who like to go off-road often – Sub-$100,000 4x4s pour their R&D budget into off-road capability first, followed by on-road development, then features, then build quality. The MU-X’s doors are a little tinny; some materials are a clear carry over from the commercial sister car to the MU-X - the D-MAX. It’s not luxury-level refinement, but there’s an obvious amount of care… Read more

that’s been taken to improve the quality of the MU-X.

Everything feels solid in how it’s been put together. I feel confident putting my body weight on the side steps and the buttons feel like they’ll resist failing even when covered in dust and dirt. Additionally, panel gaps are somewhat minimal, and all the exterior trim lines up nicely.

Maxing out at $65,900 for this LS-T variant, the value for money proposition could be high or average, depending on how you look at this SUV.

On one hand, it carries 7 people comfortably and has enough features to keep everyone safe and entertained. It’ll also comfortably tackle a steep rock shelf with all of its 4x4 tech and capability.

On the other hand, for the money, there are cars with more features, are better at cornering and are easier to get into a multi-storey car park. If that’s more appealing to you, this isn’t the car for you.

This 4x4 SUV is valued as it packs a reliable turbo-diesel powertrain, tried and tested off-road handling and has plenty of space to pack for that long road trip.

What’s curious is that Isuzu offers not a 5-year, but a 6-year/150,000 kilometre warranty with the MU-X. There’s also 7 years of roadside assist and capped price servicing available too, which will cost you $3,373 over that period. Services are every 12 months or 15,000km.

One, the sound system really was a massive improvement over the previous car. I found myself really enjoying the sound produced, rather than having to play around too much with the equaliser settings.

Although, it wasn't an amazing experience with some select songs I played for some strange reason - would love to narrow down a genre, but it was a little hard to narrow down.

Additionally, the way revs were kept low once up to speed meant there was no need to compete with a noisy diesel motor. Instead, it sounded like additional deadening was placed to keep the cabin a more family-friendly environment (especially compared to the D-MAX).

There is a but; because this is a large, high-off-the-ground 4x4 SUV, there were some shortcomings. There was noticeable wind noise at higher speeds, and a lot of tire noise when turning sharply.

Braking performance in the MU-X was enough to provide plenty of confidence in bringing all 2 tonnes of 4x4 to a stop across a variety of scenarios.

There’s an autonomous emergency braking system fitted to intervene when the car’s safety system believes you’re not going to react in time.

This is the same power plant found in the new D-MAX. 140kW at 3,600rpm and 450Nm at 1,600-2,600rpm produced from a 3.0L turbo-diesel four cylinder - this is the short and early rpm access for peak torque is a major plus for off-road enthusiasts. It allows for almost no need to jump hard on the throttle and give you better control at low speeds on difficult surfaces.

Initially, I was a little let down that more gears weren’t added to the MU-X’s 6-speed automatic transmission. This feeling was quickly forgotten when operating this 4x4 from rock-crawling speeds through to highway velocity.

Revs are almost always kept below 2,500rpm, providing a pleasant and refined-feeling experience.

In traditional, non-adjustable suspension fashion, you’re trading comfort for cornering ability. Outside of hard corners, the suspension really floats the body of the car above the road. It feels like Jello-O on top of sponge cake. I just couldn’t help but notice the way the body operates just a little more softly on top of its chassis. It’s by no means a bad thing, it’s just a very softly sprung car.

All of that comfort and soft suspension makes a whole lot of sense when out on a tough trail. The old MU-X wasn’t this refined off-road. The new MU-X simply ironed out a lot of the bumps and undulations on our off-road track, so you could feel the track, without being violently thrown around the cabin.

By far, the off-road comfort is the biggest positive change for the MU-X.

Claimed fuel efficiency is 8.3L per 100km combined, and costs on average $127 for a full tank of diesel.

That tank will easily see you travel distances as far as 1000km. My consumption averaged around 10L per 100km over a couple of hundred kilometres during a week. I was pleasantly surprised to see 7 days of driving only require half a tank of diesel.

Arguably the most important update, along with off-road comfort, for the new MU-X, is this interior. This interior is clearly taken from the new D-MAX, but with some slight tweaks to make it suited for a family car.

From the driver’s display, centre infotainment and layout of buttons, it’s all a big step up from the last generation. Even though there’s no digital driver’s display, the analogue buttons and supporting 4.3-inch information display do look great.

The 9-inch drivers display has been executed in such a way that allows for easy navigation and viewing of the content on the screen. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto takes full advantage of the square shape, and you can even connect wirelessly if you use Apple CarPlay. Just note that your phone will take a few minutes to connect, but it’s usually up and running by the time you’ve started and pulled away from where you parked.

Boot space is a minimum of 311L with all seats upright, and 2138L with all the seats folded flat. A power tailgate, second row climate controls, front heated seats, automatic headlights, automatic wipers, radar cruise control with lane keep assist and wireless Apple CarPlay really highlight just how comfortable the new MU-X is.

There’s plenty of space for adults in all three rows, however that third row isn’t ideal for long trips. I could certainly imagine 5 adults travelling comfortably with plenty of cargo, although there is one caveat.

The towing capacity for the MU-X is rated at 3.5 tonne (braked). Keep in mind that once you load up 3 tonnes, it only gives you a few hundred kilos to load up with people and cargo on the inside.

The new MU-X gives you a modern experience, with modern features. It looks great both on and off-road, and has plenty of space to carry everyone and everything with you.

The big mechanical upgrades to the suspension mean off-roading is a lot more comfortable. It no longer feels like you’re compromising comfort for capability, like the old generation MU-X did.

For less than $100,000, this is one of the best 7-seater off-roaders you can buy. If you don’t need the space, then you could consider the likes of the Suzuki Jimny.

A solid 7-seat off-road SUV but it lacks on-road refinement – The MU-X is utilitarian with a capital U. First and foremost, it's an off-roader, and then it's a family SUV. This means it has a tough exterior to last against the elements and a robust interior to weather against dirt, dust and kids. Externally, the MU-X has a similar build quality to the D-MAX, so it's definitely going to stand the test of… Read more

time running across both tarmac and mud ruts.

For added longevity, there are factory bash plates fitted underneath the MU-X that protect some of its vitals when you manage to drive over larger obstacles.

This isn’t the strong suit for the last of this generation’s MU-X. The model I had was the MU-X in LS-U 4x4 trim, which is priced from $58,302 drive-away.

There are many competitors on the market that offer a similar value proposition, but do a better job at justifying their comparable price tag - take for example the new Toyota Fortuner.

This MU-X is missing out on key bits of safety equipment and technology which are now standard on cars that are $20,000 cheaper than this. Blind spot monitoring and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are key omissions that make daily driving a little less enjoyable.

As for maintaining this SUV, the MUX comes with a 6 year/150,000km warranty which will cover you for most of your ownership.

Isuzu also covers capped price servicing for up to 7 years, helping bring additional peace of mind if you plan on buying an MU-X that’s a few years old.

Unfortunately for those who prefer a quieter ride around town, under acceleration, the 3.0L diesel four-cylinder makes itself known to all the occupants. More so than other diesel motors, the engine sound bleeds into the cabin is quite noticeable. It’s not a deafening sound, but it’s going to come at a slight shock for those used to riding in quieter diesels.

Once you’re up to a consistent speed, the four-cylinder audibly settles and you’re greeted with the benefits of a diesel engine whilst out on the open road. Revs drop, and the cabin of the MU-X becomes a whole lot more relaxed.

The audio system in the MU-X isn’t disappointing despite its age. There’s a ‘surround sound’ feature in the form of downward-facing speakers placed on the roof, providing a richer sound, especially for the front passengers.

There are four-disc brakes on all four wheels.

I’m a firm believer that road-focused 4x4s should have disc brakes all-around rather than drums on the rear wheels. This is because you’re more likely to be towing and carrying less than the lower-trims would be. Despite not having disc brakes, you can still tow up to 3 tonnes braked.

Braking in the MU-X was excellent for a two-tonne SUV, with a relatively progressive pedal feel enabling you to drive smoothly and come to a stop with relative precision.

Unlike the current D-MAX, the MU-X is carrying the older version of Isuzu’s 3.0L diesel motor. In this generation, the MU-X is dealing with 130kW @ 3600rpm and 430Nm @ 2000-2200rpm.

Off the mark, the MU-X certainly picks up the pace. Although a 0-100km/h figure would land in the realm of nearing 10 seconds, the real-world performance of this motor never leaves you feeling like this SUV is underpowered.

Instead, the MU-X is able to comfortably move around town without the need to be buried in the accelerator pedal. On the highway, you won’t be left behind as overtaking is effortless thanks to all that torque.

When you’re out in the stickier stuff, the MU-X in low-range 4x4 mode provides confidence that you’ll make it out alive.

With what feels like a precise delivery of power, the MU-X never slips or faults when putting its power to the dirt. I was met with impressive power-delivery which only encouraged me to find more difficult terrain to put this SUV through.

The 6-speed transmission used in the MU-X is able to seamlessly shift, even at low speeds, without ever feeling strained. My only complaint is the speed at which it shifts, which can feel a little slow.

Built on the D-MAX’s ladder frame chassis, but without the leaf-spring suspension, the MU-X struggles to soak up bumps as you’d expect from a 7-seater family car.

It’s apparent the MU-X can’t shake the fact that it’s a dedicated off-roader, as this suspension setup seems to give you too much feedback across tarmac. If you cross enough bumps and potholes, it seems to really upset the ride of the MU-X and can cause passengers to complain about the ride of the car.

On smoother sections of road, the MU-X settles and can glide across most highways with ease. When you start to hit corners, you’re met with the surprise that the MU-X can handle turns relatively well; a pleasant trade-off for those around-town jitters.

As quickly as you’re impressed with how this SUV can prevent itself from sinking too much in the corners, it's dampened by the slow steering ratio.

This slow ratio keeps you busy and shuffling your hands as soon as a corner progresses into anything sharper than 100 degrees.

There’s a 65L tank on board, and it’ll cost you just around $90 to fill from empty. Claimed total fuel consumption is 8.3L/100km.

The MU-X didn’t have an onboard L/100km computer, instead it spat out km per litre of fuel, converting my average meant I was closer to 10L/100km.

The inside of the MU-X offers no luxury extras.. It’s about simply offering you everything you need, not everything you might want.

The touch-screen looks like it was taken from 2011, as it has basic navigation and media utility, and of-course a glaring omission of any options for phone mirroring. There’s bluetooth available at least, but it makes changing playlists or podcasts a little more difficult.

The MU-X makes do with a minimum boot space of 235L (with the middle row up) and a maximum of 1830L with all seats stowed away.

The manual operation of the boot in the MU-X is normally passable on a car like this, however due to the height that this tailgate opens to, children who can’t reach the boot will need you to exit the vehicle to close it.

There’s a thoughtful ‘tuck and fold’ design with the middle row, which helps expand the total usable interior space of the MU-X - enough to place several push bikes in without needing to remove front wheels.

If you’re looking for a car that will be an off-road performer at its core, it’ll be hard to move past some of the deals that will be presented on the current generation as soon as the new MU-X arrives.

There is enough here to make most people happy if they’re keen on off-roading frequently and plan on making modifications to enhance the capability of the MU-X.

However, if you’re primarily looking at purchasing an MU-X for daily use in the suburbs with the occasional trip off-road, I’d pick the new MU-X.

After 10 months and 12,000Km I still like my MUX-LST 2024. Issues. 1. Service Centres are 3rd rate at best. This is the real achilles heel. Isuzu needs to break free of the monopolised Automatic Sales and service corporations and invest in genuine local independant dealers and mechanics who are trusted. Break away “go your own way” and succeed.… Read more

2. Fuel gauge is a major let down. Eg. Tank can be 50% full. Park the car on a slope front down hill. It will show empty over a few hours. 3. The automated breaking is extremely dangerous and annoying. 4. The Driver's sun visor hits the revision mirror. Had to replace the passenger sun visor already as it sags. 5. Cruise control overshooting. This is very dangerous. There appears to be an ineffective Engine management system. If you have your cruise control on 100k say and going up hill, then after it reaches the top it continues to accelerate and you can end up doing 110K. It should be able to sense the hill climb resistance change. My previous 12 years old non-Isuzu, did it well. 6 Engine breaks unresponsive to benign release when you hit the accelerator. Takes too long. 7. Cruise control, even non-adaptive CC stops working when rain, fog etc stops the cameras from being able to focus. I can understand that for adaptive CC. but normal CC should not be impacted. 8. ELK, lane depature etc should be default off. 9. Tie pressures - mannual and tag says 210KPa, but service centers and everyone says use 36-40PSI (> 260Kpa). which helps prevent the ties wearing out prematurely and improve fuel consumption, but the ride is then hard. Needs to be addressed. 10. Sold as a 4x4 for off-road. Has no thought and consideration in offering or catering for standard off-road and 4x4 traveling. Eg. No consideration for recovery points (only has tow points). Nudge and bumper bars are not comparable with aftermarket recovery points, winches etc. so don't buy them, you will have to throw them away later if you want any standard 4x4 items. No cabin provision for CB radio handsets, or Mobile phones to be mounted. 11. The optional Electronic brake control (for towing) is an unmarked rotary dial. So cannot know it's set to a specific level or levels for when you tow loaded or unload trailer/caravan. Again, buy after market. 12. No back seat fold down release in the boot, which is standard in other brands. 13. Manual is poorly constructed, jumping page to section, duplication etc. 14. Oil leak has appeared at 12,300km. Have had roadside assistance tow to the service centre. 15. Does sound like a truck, more noisy than it should be.

Unload around the city fuel consumption has settled down to approx 10L/100Km when I drive carefully. Which is ok.

Mighty MUX - This car can do it all! – Absolutely love my MuX (2022 model). It does everything! from touring this great country in comfort, to Towing our 2T caravan with ease, dropping off the kids at school and has done some difficult 4WDing (Budawangs national park/ Gardens of stone national park). Fuel economy is remarkable, my long term average is 7.3l/100km (no van, mostly… Read more ·  4

highway driving at 100km/h - click the photo attached as I know you won't believe me!), and with 2.2T Van I achieve 11-12l/100km (around 100km/h). The car effortlessly cruises along at 1500RPM on the highway and the motor is quiet as a mouse (love the new 6 speed trans).

It tows out 2.2T Expanda caravan with ease, hardly going over 2000RPM (note: Nex gen MuX has a huge 3500kg towing capacity). The ride is very quiet and refined and you can drive for 5-6 hours without breaking a sweat. The van tow ball weight is 170kg so I don't need any suspension upgrades (just stock), they can handle up to 350kg.

No issues to date and great service from my dealer. I priced a Prado at $95,000 and ended up with a brand new MUX for $60,000 and bought a caravan with the saving! Toyotas need 6monthly/10,000km servicing while MUX is 15,000/1 yearly so halve the maintenance costs.

The legendary 4JJ3 motor is bullet proof and doesn't require Ad blue like the 2024 Prado/Everest, so less things to go wrong, and avoid $80 to fill up the ad blue tank. The DPF is one of the most reliable to date, a friend at work has a DPF model (2018) with over 300,000km and still going strong (no DPF issues). The drive train is good for 500,000+ km and the engine is a truck quality motor from NPR Isuzu trucks. The motor uses truck quality gear driven camshaft, with small timing chain that runs a double geared camshaft. Even the timing chain can be changed easily via the rocker cover, and small hatch in the engine cover (no need to take half the motor apart). The car weighs a little over 2T, substantially less than Prado at 2.6T meaning much higher power / weight for effortless hauling of heavy loads.

I've taken this car deep into the Victorian high country, Barrington tops, Snow driving and 4WDing in many of the national parks and never been stuck. All with stock tyres and suspension. This model comes with Diff locks as standard!

The kids love the rear air conditioning. There is an evaporator in the boot, with separate fan controls so they can adjust their own temperature (lucky!)

The car has loads of room, we can fit 4 persons + gear for a snow trip with ease. The boot space is gargantuan (you can pack your elephant) and the 3 rows sit perfectly flat, so you can install a fridge, or just sleep in the back (I recently saw the new Prado boot and you'd struggle to fit 2 suitcases, its a deal breaker).

Isuzus are very popular, and fully supported by the online forum "Ozisuzu.com.au" where there are loads of passionate Isuzu lovers that will offer free support/advice on upgrades/4WDing etc.

I researched Pajero sport, Prado, Everest, and MUX was best by far, comes with a 6 year warranty, great resale value, Corolla fuel economy and small price tag for this level of 4WD capability/towing/comfort.

I also researched the older (pre 21 models) but purchased the Next gen for the following benefits: - The cabin noise NVH is excellent compared to previous generation, quiet and comfortable. - The rear boot area sits perfectly flat, no plastic boxes that look like an after thought. - Fuel tank size is 80L (gives a range of 1100km on a tank @7.3l/100) - Electric steering makes light work steering a large car with caravan - 6 speed auto is amazing, at 100km/h the RPM is 1500 RPM and you can hardly hear the motor - LED lights are bright! - The car has ventilated disk brakes on all corners, providing great confidence when towing down steep hills. - huge 3.5T towing capacity and 350kg ball mass

This car is serious 4x4 offroader. The drive train is a north south motor, with rear wheel drive (great for towing with caravan ball mass adding to grip), then a transfer case to power the front wheels. The gearbox has low range for steeps climbs, crawling etc. All gearboxes have diff breathers as standard and the rear diff comes with diff locker as standard. Wading depth is 800mm out of the box! The car can be heavily modified with large wheels, lifted, bull bars, roof racks, long range tanks (all readily available). Air bags can be easily fitted to the rear springs if high weights are carried (ie caravan).

Love our MUX

I could not trade this MUX LST 2023 in quick enough! – I purchased this MUX LST in December 2023 thinking this would be my last car. What a shock it was. My son rang me up one day & said are you driving a truck? It was rough & nousy. Interior lining was cheap & like plastic but was supposed to be leather. Tailgate would not open with trailer on & wanted to close before you could unload it. 4X4 was… Read more

good but I never used it. To top this story off the Oil Contamination light came on & was diagnosed by Fosseys in Tamworth as having Deisel Fuel in the Engine oil at only 4800 K. I paid $68000 for this cheap car that was just made to a price & received 0nly $55000 as a trade in at only 7200 K. Fuel effeciency would range from 13L/100K to 8.2 L/100K, depending on conditions.

Our new mux 4jj new king of Australia – Recently took our new mux into the out back 5,000ks in a week was great on fuel ⛽ we averaged 9.9l per 100km with a rihno roof cage fitted with all out luggage( 3 adults 2 children) we may have been sitting a little above the posted limits as well and still achieving great economy. The car is amazingly comfortable and can be a tuff in suspension… Read more

when empty but once fully loaded even on the factory 20inch rims and insane dirt out back roads was a pleasure and a great place to be. The air conditioning system is fantastic and really am over the moon with my car how ever like everything there are things I would like improvement in such as a little less driver assistance I turn off lane assistance everytime and the automatic headlights are a pain at night the high beams will constantly turn off as it picks up reflections and thinks they are head light incoming (it's easy fixed just put it into manual mode ) just wish it didn't have automatic high beam shut off the rear view mirror hits the drivers sun visor not a huge deal just annoying and after a few hundred kilometres of bull dust and dirt roads we got a bit of it finding its way into the cab not the end of the world but yeah the cabin filters may need a slight adjustment. But yes we drove it down some extreme conditions remote places and not being kind to the car and it done everything we asked of it even drove it non stop for 11 hours stopping for only a 10min fuel stop and nothing got hot nothing gave any grief. So yes there are things that could be changed but overall very impressive SUV and I will be buying the new versions for the rest of my life the 4jj is the new legend of the outback. Hopefully all the automatic driver assistance can just be put on the right side of the gear stick on the vacant switch pannels in future so you can get in and flick off auto head lights auto lane assistance and any other driver assistance some times less is best I mean look at those rubbish 79 Series no driver aids and cost the most keep with the 4jj and keep it simple stupid.

Broken after only 2 months, waited 12 months to get car!! – After waiting 12+ months for car, less than 2 months on road and navigation system failed and needs to be replaced which Isuzu reports will take up to 9 months to get replacement? No empathy or compassion from Isuzu, they simply don’t see a problem with this after you’ve spent hard earned dollars to by a supposed rugged and capable vehicle that… Read more

doesn’t even last 2 months of driving on bitumen only. As the nav system is integrated with the operating interface this affects more than just nav system. Definitely would not recommend the Isuzu MUX to anyone.

Unsafe and a waste of money – Have had major issues with disengaging cruise control. Autonomous braking is activating when there are no other cars around. Fuel gauge is also unreliable. Has been to a service centre which has not fixed anything. Dealer is trying to help but Isuzu head office will not allow fixes. Fed up and frustrated Show details

3 weeks in, not falling in love with it. Steering vibration with 20" alloys – I have been back to the dealers in Thailand to fix the steering vibration. They have rebalances the wheels 3 times, carried out yet another alignment which shown it was out even though it's brand new. Their response - it's their standard and cannot be fixed. This must either be a combination of bad 20" low profile tyres, shocks & springs not up to… Read more

the job or the Hydraulic steering. It's probably a combination of all of them. So now I have to spend money to fix the problem, which is probably shocks & new wheels. Never will I buy an Isuzu again.

So glad I chose this – I waited a while for this car, but when it finally arrived I can’t fault it. Im getting fuel economy as promised and it’s made my commute to work quite enjoyable. Sure it might need some refinement as they get feedback, but personally I’m more than happy with it. Show details

Big vehicle with good economy and plenty of room for 7 people – I have had my December 2018 build MUX since Feb of 2019. Initial impressions of the MUX were: - good size. Plenty of room for 7 people in side or less people and plenty of storage. - 6 speed auto and diesel gives good economy along with good torque - might look big but for what it can fit into it, the vehicle is more compact than most others in… Read more

the class. - base model was great value, only 2WD but only paid $37K which is a lot less than a 4WD and no one would know otherwise. - Still has good towing ability with 3.0 litre turbo diesel.

Having jumped from an FGX XR8, I found the MUX to be more leisurely than my XR8 and a lot more economical. I have now unloaded the XR8 and use this vehicle exclusively. I use it for a daily drive and have been to the Flinders, Broken Hill and mid north wine regions. Love the economy, ground clearance, clear vision all round and rides quietly on the highway and handles good for a reasonable sized vehicle. I use it as a daily commute and in just over 2 years of driving, I have chalked up 70K kms. Works well in city traffic. Toured the Flinders Ranges in it and it was perfect. No need for 4WD and obviously being 2WD helps keep the weight down and improves the economy.

I have my vehicle serviced at 15,000 kms intervals, thus have it serviced twice yearly. "Prevention is the best cure." On the down side, there are a couple of things that I find a bit annoying: - from cold, although it starts very well, it takes a long time to warm up the engine to negate the "chatter" - brakes are not as good as the XR8, but then I am being a bit picky - rear side mirrors are terrible - the are those magnified type where "objects may appear closer than they are" - touch screen display is very average in the base unit. This really could have been improved.

Overall I am quite happy with the vehicle and would buy another in a couple of years time.
