The 2017 MU-X Arrives at Local Isuzu Dealers

The 2017 MU-X Arrives at Local Isuzu Dealers

When you pay a visit to your local Isuzu dealers, Perth drivers are likely to notice the new MU-X given pride of place. Isuzu Australian sales have gone from strength to strength in recent years, particularly since the launch of the MU-X in 2013. However, the new MU-X has been highly anticipated and has finally arrived in showrooms.

The Performance Changes:

One of the biggest changes to the new MU-X at Isuzu dealers is the revised engine with new six speed auto transmission. The turbo diesel 3.0 litre engine has boosted torque from 380 Nm to 430 Nm in the lower rev range. The power output has maintained at 130 kW. The recorded fuel economy for the new engine is 7.9 litres per 100 kilometres. This makes the new MU-X one of the most economical vehicles in the segment, despite offering a 3500 kilogram towing capacity.

The main reason for these performance improvements is the new variable geometry turbocharger. However, the ceramic glow plugs, particulate filter, EGR cooler, and fuel system have also contributed to the Euro 5 compliance.

On the road, the new engine feels excellent, there is virtually no trace of turbo lag, and the torque ensures that the MU-X effortlessly gets up to speed. When you reach highway cruising speed, the diesel is almost imperceptible. The handling feels firm with responsive steering that doesn’t feel overly heavy. This emphasises the tough character of the MU-X, offering you the refinement of a passenger vehicle with the rugged performance of a tough SUV.

The Aesthetics:

On the outside, the MU-X has also received some treatment. The front end has a new lower and upper grille design. There is also incorporate Bi-LED projectors throughout the range and new alloys. Isuzu dealers will also be able to offer a new colour for the big truck; Havana Brown.

Once you step inside the cabin, you will notice that there is a new 8.0 inch touchscreen available on the LS-T and LS-U variants. This new infotainment system offers better graphics, brighter colours, and easier operation. The quilted leather door trims and seats and stitched leather trim on the console lid and dashtop elevate the cabin. These touches to the finish create a quality feel to the overall aesthetics.
