2015 Isuzu MU-X review - Cars Guide

For years the word 'truck' has been rusted on to Isuzu. Capable of carrying up to seven people or a stack of gear, the Isuzu MU-X is available in three variants in 2WD and 4WD, ranging in price from $40,500, plus on-road costs, for the 4x2 LS-M automatic to $53,500 for the 4x4 LS-T auto, in my case,... With versatility such as this there is need for a powertrain to cope, and in the case of the MU-X, this comes in the form of a 3. 0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine mated with a five-speed automatic transmission. Stylish enough for city streets, the LS-M rides on 16-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tyres, so it's right at home on a work site or farm. The mid-spec LS-U is the family all-rounder, making it ideal for work but want to get away from it all when the weekend rolls around. LS-U adds 17-inch alloys, fog lights, chrome grille and mirrors, and aluminium side-steps. The range topping LS-T takes comfort and convenience up a notch with standard features such as leather trim, climate control air-conditioning, touch-screen sat nav, reverse camera and roof-mounted DVD entertainment system. The profile speaks to the sturdy underpinnings necessary for taking on any task from carting kids to school and sport, tackling tough off-roading, or towing up to three tonnes.
