- It's one of the best-selling 4x4 SUV's on the market, so what makes the Isuzu MU-X so appealing?
There's a 3-litre 130kW/380Nm turbo diesel, 230mm of ground clearance and seven seats that give the MU-X a simple but capable go-anywhere ability.

We purchased a top of range MUX in 2017 and loved the car but in January 2021. we were were wiped out by a driver who failed to give way at intersection hitting hard enough on drivers side to flip us completely over landing driverside down on road. All airbags deployed and other than relatively minor injuries walked away from a car that will be written off. Have ordered another simply because had we been in a sedan one of us wouldn't be here to tell story. Very safe car in my opinion.
This car is suited in my country, well The Philippines have lots of bad roads and this car works fine and it does the job right when we visit relatives on distant cities, travelling within 3 cities is good.. loved the Mu-X
Isuzu may not be the flashiest but it will most certainly outlast the competition
I've had 5 bighorns, all great trucks
I had 4BB1 light truck in 1980's, 4JG2 2006-2016 then 4JX1 Im very satisfied, very good workhorse.
We've had ours for 5 years now and I'll tell ya, it's still as solid and reliable as it was the first time we took it round for a spin. This vehicle is indeed the best value for money, and you're not paying for exterior/interior styling. You're paying for reliability and ride comfort. It's still serving my family pretty well, and without complaining. 😊
This is my Dream car. I know its been years, but i really love everything about it. Hopefully, i can get it oneday.. 🙏
Same here bro. The Mux may not be as flashy as its competitors. But it manages to hit just the right balance between looks and comfort. The 2016 and 2017 models is perfect IMO. The Mux is a humble SUV with a VERY SOLID reputation.
Me too sooon
Bulletproof engine
Love this guy keep the reviews up :)
Each has its pros and cons nga. MuX may not have the strongest or fastest engine, it may even have one of the loudest engine while idling and running. It may not even look cool or elegant. But I value my MuX. And WE value our rides. Because its features like space, reliability, relative ride comfort and ease of maintenance matter most for us.
I think it looks cool..what looks cooler than this?
Well the new model generation does lol
The king of diesel engine..ISUZU
Isuzu should make an All New Bighorn/Trooper.
This is it.
they need to come back out with another trooper
I think this is it.
This review is awesome really clear to listen to
Hi Car Advice, I am Hoping you will do a Video about the New Isuzu Mu-X 2017 Facelift Edition because were been waiting for so Long. You know why?? because your Advices are really Important and it's Very Detailed thats why We Love your Videos :D
isuzus overall handling is the best!
Almost 8 years go5 this piece still solid n trustable……mux is worth every dimes….
It is due to arrive in the second quarter here in SA and I must say from this review, that pricing has to be key in it's potential success, as it will take something out of the ordinary to knock the Toyota Fortuner off the top spot here.
In South Africa, Isuzu has 15000km service intervals.... incidentally Toyota has 10000km intervals....
this model also has 10K service intervals LOL
Looks great, with I could get this in the US.
have you tested any of the lexus NX or the RX?? would love to see them!
Isuzu is just great..
If you need one reason to buy an Isuzu it's the running gear , nothing else comes close .
What's the difference between running gear and running belt?
Running gear generally refers to engine , transmission etc . The Isuzu is also a low stressed engine , it doesn't punch out the power of the opposition but will out last them by 200,000ks .

+Aaryan Sobti - best comment in the world!
A number of CA's reviews have suggested that the current top end utes (Wildtrak & Amorak for example) are now becoming viable alternatives to some of the ute based SUVs, especially at the lower end of the scale. It would be interesting to see CA pit the best 'Leisure Utes' against some of the similarly priced SUVs.
Personal experience tells me that the Wildtrak certainly rides better than the boaty, under-dampened Fortuner - it would be interesting to see what the experts think.
wish they had this in the states!
The grass is always greener...
Wish we had this in Europe.
What 4 door 7 seater SUV has big boot space while the 3rd row is being used ?
I like it because it is simple
Mux should be named Trooper... more squares, more agressive design and rebadge Trooper. Thats it. Simple, solid, easy to maintain 4x4.
Hello How to know the distance driven? Is there a button?
Looks better than the new look of the Fortuner ☺️
best bang for the buck
Like us they use less technology...greatest part
Isuzu is diesel the super engine
Isuzus are beast. even an old hi-lander is better than newer Toyota
Agreed. I also like the old Trooper of Isuzu, and starting to like this one.
Mọi người cho em hỏi xe Isuzu Mu-X đi off road thế nào?
Có ngang ngang với Everrest hay Pajero không ạ
Amazing car for me
It's a young man's car.
Surprising there's no Diff lock or even hill descent, most small crossovers have Hill descent now, and even a ten year old Nissan X trail has A diff lock (European market).
Seriously who the hell wants or ever need a diff lock and I’m guessing you have never driven off road if you are requiring downhill descent control.
These MUXs with a 2 inch lift will go everywhere most 4x4 need to go and not break down. Reliability wins!
Best
خوش سيارة good car
Well for srilanka. This is the best vehicle you can get
да что вы знаете про 4х4, уаз 469 вот тачка реальная! 😁
Head room looked somewhat low, not just the tail hatch. If that was a full,optioned model, at 51000$ and so little interior space... 😑 meh.... good review though
Good luck car
Is this basically a Holden/Chevrolet Trailblazer with Isuzu engine?
pretty much
Cool, probably the better pick of the bunch if you want a reliable workhorse.
MUX is derived from it's pick up truck origin, the DMAX. Rather the Holden/Chevy Trail Blazer borrowed the chassis and everything except the engine. Pretty obvious huh?
gm and Isuzu developed the Colorado/d-max and the colorado7/mux together! it was a joint effort,chassis and body's are the same but different engine and transmissions. and some styling differences
dn bn massive differences between them all the only thing in common is the Chassis every other little bolt has been changed by gm even thou isuzu sagested not to and were not happy with gms colarado and the trailblazer isn't anything to do with isuzu and I'm sure we will all look forward to the mazda isuzu car that they build
2014
WTH, why doesn't America get these Isuzus?
why is everyone mentioning the cup holders next to the vents? fortuner has had this forever, and it's pretty standard. not a selling feature at all
Honda CR-V has it for years also.
Great review, when are you going to review the 2017 updated MUX? I'm torn between Pajero Sport (concerns: too small and fuelling), Fortuner (concerns: Part time 4WD, and lack of safety and tech) and the MUX (concerns lack of safety and tech)
Hardy dependable vehicle
How would you rate it among rivals?
there is a good review on here where they compare the everest, pajero sport, fortuna etc.
the isuzu is the best value for money but the toyota is the best on average
blackers10 thanks!
kak.
I hope Isuzu has more improvement s
yeah waiting for a 6+ speed transmission
you reckon they'll make it?
DeepBlacklce yeah
6 speed tranny is released here in philippines
yeah here too in Australia, new 2017 model
thank goodness but still needs a rear locker!
comparison with the other suv in the range please
why isuzu still use the c-pillar is outdated(they must desing something like toyota have done with the fortuner, mitsubishi done it with the pajero sport and ford with the everest..
praco Praco weight
That cpillar is aomething i missed in the new fortuner
How is the reliability of this in 2019?
Gian Savellano very reliable
Very very reliable
Parkiran kurang luas
This guy makes the car look so small
isuzu mux or holden trailblazer?
for me its the trailblazer but Isuzu are a quality unit they do have issues but no make is faultless. I work on both and I don't think you could go wrong with any choice.
MRBurnie1 thank you for kind answer and respond. isuzu mux was already in our market about 2 year. and this year 2017. Chevrolet Trailblazer will be sold in our market. i love isuzu with their engine design but the power is quite low. yes i know their power to weight ratio is kind balance. reliability of isuzu is not an big issue for me because i have isuzu panther they are great car.. i also like trailblazer .. they have good engine power, torque, quite amaze me. comparing it with Pajero Sport... when i drove a car with high spec like trailblazer, make me confidence...:)
keta mux ni mmang tip top..tpi rege die 180k...idaman gak nii..
Im not kidding but this mux model is 2015
Why does tall guys make suv's look like small??😣😣😣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this car tho😆😆😆
Old tractor engine.
you are wrong
Lots of road and engine noise. Too much .
MUX better than Pajero sport
Ford Everest sure?
Mux is the Cheapest and Reliable Suv
They chose this because pajero sport has sua controversy
This car needs to eat away the large chunk sales of monteros
copy Traillblazer
its not a copy. Isuzu and holden/chevrolet is the ''same company'' GM
the isuzu is different. they have different engines and transmissions and different suspension setups.
all reviews prefer the isuzu over the GM version
+blackers10 point is its not a copy
correction! the Trail blazer just borrowed the Isuzu body. Obviously the MUX and DMAX looks exactly the same as siblings. So what about the trailblazer???
actually, chevy and isuzu are sister companies and part of the GMC family
mu x is cool but the engine is too weak for loading and major off road.
Isuzu engines are weak because they're understressed for reliability. They don't have the power of high-strung competition like the Pajero, Patrol, or Touareg, especially considering how big and heavy they are, but will outlast them by at least 100k miles. You simply can't get a more reliable drivetrain from a midsize three-row truck-based SUV, unless you're willing to pay nearly twice the price for a Land Cruiser. But yeah, if you want to haul a trailer or do "major off road," you'd be better off finding a used example of something more powerful since the savings of the MU-X are only AU$5-10k. A Ford Everest only starts at $55k Dollarydoos, so the savings aren't that great for what you're giving up in the interior and engine compartment. But the savings are there, and if you're looking for a durable SUV for a bargain price, the MU-X is hard to be beat. The Toyota Fortuner is probably close to or at the same level of build quality, but it sacrifices rear visibility for style and in doing so ends up with quarter panel blind spots you could hide a house behind.
@@seankurth4371 even if it has low power, take a look at the newer mux, it can tow 3,500kg
Isuzu is the poor man's Mitsubishi ...... but there is always a better Suzuki out there...hahaha
obviously 10x better than Mitsus
SH I Hey the Isuzu Company was one of the Oldest Brand and also know as the most Durable Brand of Cars. They're not only Good at Suv's they're also Good at their Trucks. Isuzu is Reliable their Cars and Trucks can Live up to 20 - 30 Years, Isuzu is mostly made out of Japan and Thailand, the Most Trusted Brand, and has the Most Durable Cars and Trucks in my Opinion Isuzu is the Best Car Brand in the World
What a crap review. Almost no analysis of the features and no competitor comparison. This is one of Car Advice’s worst.
This car is shit Nisan pathfinder refreshed all the way with me
