A force to be reckoned with
The Isuzu Mu-X can perform under pressure and is here to shift perception of the modern SUV. Its on- and off-road performance is reinforced by a powerful 3.0 L Turbo diesel engine. Its 3-tonne braked towing across the entire range indicates that it’s not afraid of a little hard work.
Delivering 130 kW of power and 380 Nm of torque, the high-pressure common rail fuel injection system makes the most of every drop of fuel, and the intercooled Variable Geometry System (VGS) turbocharger provides excellent response over the engine’s entire rev range. Proven in a series of testing environments, each component of the Euro5-compliant Isuzu diesel engine has been crafted to reduce maintenance costs and increase durability, ensuring years of trouble-free motoring.
The Mu-X is paired with a silky smooth 6-speed transmission, leaving its fans in a control of their every move. Available in 4X2 and 4X4, this powertrain delivers ample engine performance curve, output (KW) and torque (Nm).

When exploring your sense of adventure off-road, there are strategically placed assist-grips to help keep you grounded.
In addition to lounging space, there’s also a practical side to the Mu-X interior. There’s an abundance of clever storage compartments, and with the second- and third-row seats ability to fold down, there’s also a generous cargo area when you have a sizeable load to carry.
