#isuzu #review #mux - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Hey guys - small mistake in this video. Additional colours outside of the standard set are $500, and not $650 as stated. Sorry about that!
65 large ones, and paint still an expense?
I was keen on this car, then they priced it as it is.
As you mentioned the new Ranger/Everest with that whole dash reset plus it’s new looks will just make the D MAX/mux look frumpy all over again.
If Ford doesn’t naff up the pricing like this they will get my money.
The classic silver color with black interior is just perfect.
Rrp is $70,567.
Why are you giving deal prices
@@mightygood1 No it's not, RRP is $65,900 (excluding on-road costs). We can't quote drive-away prices because they vary per state. More details: www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/2022-isuzu-mu-x-price-and-specs
The button blanks are used by owners who install compressors, lights and additional switches for auxiliaries. It is much easier to drill and replace a button blank than a dash fascia. It also makes the install cleaner.
Exactly, especially with base model for mining and plantation purposes. Needs aux buttons for the accessories: strobe lights, winch, sirens, etc. Surprised this guy doesn't know it, i guess he's city lad, used to city cars
It looks terrible though, if they sold buttons I would take that back; but using a standardish button it smart
Rather than 6 different buttons because the shape of every button is different 🤮
@@jimmymifsud1 well duh, it can be used as a work car, not just a show car looking pretty like coupe or crossover
@@lucky889s9 cool thanks for the explanation..the TV presenter should know these important information 😂🤣
that's not the reason. it'll be feature shrink-flation - either legitimately because of covid parts supply, or or choices made by the parent company/isuzu aus, for the aussie market. the non-standard/consistent blank sizes arent something the mainstream aftermarket are ready for, or have pre-designed. they may if the demand is there.
To all other car reviewers. THIS is how you do car reviews. All the info you need and not afraid to point out issues. Thanks
Been waiting for this for a long time. Surprised that it is a full detailed review. Thank you!
Hope you like it!
Finally, I have been waiting for this for so long. Thanks mate good job.!
Great review Paul. Like in Australia in India too, only these two are sold by Isuzu. The fact is that many features are missing in Indian variants! Our government hardly pins the auto companies to come up with same features like their other global variants.
This guy is the best! He even talk about lights (that is my favorite) & colours + other small things we like & love unlike others! Even the key!! This is what I call a proper car review! Thanks man keep doing this
I love the way the host talks so effortlessly during the video! Plain simple English, no technical jargons! Impressive!
Another great review, Paul. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, mate!
Thanks Paul,Another wonderful review again.
👍🦘 First time viewer to the channel, very informative condensed yet comprehensive review. Thanks (subscribed)
Great review, Mr.Paul. Keep it up the great work!
@Paul your reviews are always great with that little off-road touch and love that! Thanks.
For the see-saw section at 24:55, two simple ways of showing the audience how much lateral movement would be either (i) a water bottle, or (ii) a plumb line. With a water bottle, put a mark where the water sits when it's level, then at the steepest point, to how how much the water has moved past the line. The second option would be to hang a plumb line from the rear view mirror and show how far it moves as the car leans over.
Keep up the great work!
Paul you do the Best car reviews!! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Thank you so much Mr. Paul I've been waiting for this
I appreciate all your dedicated effort at this channel, and thanks again for another wonderful review.
First usable review for me so far, thanks for the great work
Awesome, thank you!
Tbh still waiting for this one to be launch in Indonesia and break nowadays ladder frame suv market, is'nt it sir? :))
Amazing benchmarking Paul. You really pushed it to the maxxx... Awesome video. Thumbs up. Although the car is lacking a bit of technology for the current decade.
Once you tumble the 2nd row forward you can clip the base back in for a fully flat floor.
Thank you for bringing the best car reviews to Aus.
One suggestion - perhaps briefly mentioned your thoughts on the soft touch areas (rather than just the durometer) within the video; then if people want to know more, they can refer to the link?
Keep up the great work! Always look forward to your reviews!
Thanks for the feedback!
Wow if this shitty review is the best you get for aus im sorry...
@@patrickhalbeisen1440 Wow if u don't like, don't watch it :))
@@patrickhalbeisen1440 looks like you were looking for drone shots and heavy worded brochure reading.
@@harmansaroa8055 nah i was expecting a review to be informed about the car and not putting the 2m row up and telling its not flat lmao... if you just put the seats fown they will be all the way flat
Hello im from the philippines and i own a 2010 isuzu dmax 4x4 boondock and it is a 11 year old car its pretty realiable with no major issues and no hassle to be found. The engine is still good with no issues and the interior is in very good condition with minor decoloration but over all pretty realiable and bulletproof.
Love the reviews Paul keep it up
Thanks for watching!
Isuzu nailed the design of this. It’s much nicer than the competition. Can’t wait to see this in the flesh in South Africa
I actually prefer physical buttons / knobs for climate control. For audio its okay to not have physical button, I can still adjust volume or tracks using steering switch buttons. But to control AC while driving, physical buttons beat any huge modern screen.
Thanks for the review mate.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Paul, great review as always! To demo the vehicle tilt may be you can use a spirit level 😉
Finally.....thanks for the review paul 🤘🏻 i watched every single videos from you guys..keep it up..cheers
Thanks mate! Appreciate it 😁
That classic silver color on video with black interior is just perfect. Never Goes out of style.
Good comprehensive review. Very clear & well explained. Thanks
I hit like before start watching. Long awaited review.
Thanks for watching...and the like!
Was waiting for this, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent production! Thanks CE.
Great review as always. That car looks fantastic..
I do like the design!
Im not in the market for a 4x4, Im a hatch/wagon guy but Isuzu is absolutely killing it at the moment. Im actually tempted.
Looks like an Everest/Mazda hatechild. They didn't fix the gearbox weakness. . . Still can't tow my caravan in 4wd on damp or greasy roads. So its not a 4wd on bitumen where you drive 95% of the time. Glass area tiny so will feel claustraphobic like Mazda.
@Bill Brown research paid off. Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. 4x4 on any surface, 10 year warranty and to my amazement its $3k cheaper than the Isuzu that still doesn't have 4x4 on bitumen even on dearest model. Mitsubishi has it on all Pajero Sport. No brainer now. 2H for dry towing, 4H for damp, wet or dusty towing. 4x4 lc for ice mud or snow and 4Llc for beach sand. $62k driveaway 10 year warranty but 3 months of back orders, no wonder.
@@waynehobbs5175 Pajero Sport is as ugly as hell
@@oldmancycling7440 Pajero Sport may not look same as Everest and MUX virtual twins but its a proper 4x4 on all surfaces making it safer than an MUX. Pajero Sport is 6 month waiting period due to high demand and proven Mitsubishi reliability. MUX had known turbo issues. Only the rear end of the Sport is subjectively ugly but its mechanically weigh superior and has the best 4x4 system on the market bar none.
@@waynehobbs5175 .. yet I hear plenty of people complaining about the Pajero Sport overheating, especially if towing. As for Isuzu they have long waiting list like all brands at the moment. Lack of parts supply has done that to all brands
Great review on this newest mux!
thanks
I just picked up the top of the line MU-X. Very impressed with it so far.
serious drive test...made me subscribed
Good review, it touched all bases.
Hai I'm from Malaysia, great reviews, after watching you give me piece of mind to buy mux, thank you Paul.
I've been using mux since 2015. Very very reliable. Been looking forward for the new 2021 mux.
great car. would need a 3 liter diesel BMW engine and not a old truck engine!
@daniel, but that would completely exclude the reliability aspect if this vehicle if they used anything bmw related.
All new mux here in Philippines so overpriced 👹
Great Review Brother !! 💯
Excellent review. I learned a lot.
Excellent review Paul 👍
Ordering mine next week. I’m reliability over bells and whistles. This vehicle is a perfect all rounder.
Really solid review - thanks. But again, it just seems to be impossible to find one car that ticks all the boxes. Just about every SUV seems to have some short falls these days. Just comes down to a balance now. Some significant, some just minor "why couldn't they just do that" annoyances.
Good job mate. Most reviews these days are simply paid advertisements, you covered all my questions.
THanks for watching!
I currently have a 2017 MUX, manual 4X4. We have taken it down some rugged country with no problems. However, three months into owning the car, the turbo went and then 6 months later a DPF sensor malfunctioned. All fixed under warranty. No major issues since.. I really love the new MUX, however, I'm so disappointed that Isuzu stop making the MUX in manual transmission. This car will look dated compared to the new Ford, Isuzu is always behind with the technology though. BTW, I love these car reviews videos, keep up the awesome work!!
Thanks for that feedback, it's always good to hear from owners!
Izuzu is always behind with technology but always in front with reliability.
Drove this, a Pajero Sport Exceed and an Everest Trend the other day. I've got to say, the MUX reminded me a lot of my 2007 Diesel Santa Fe. I was easily the most tractor like. The ride was good, however its easily the noisiest and I found it underpowered. That resulted in me accelerating harder and forcing it to do lurching gear changes. Honestly from all the reviews I was expecting to put a deposit on this pre test drive, now I'm leaning towards the Pajero. This has nothing The Pajero doesn't, but the 10yr warranty and ability to drive in 4wd on road in the Pajero is sensational.
All Isuzu's are noisy, that's why people buy Toyota or Mazda.
I really like the tractor like noise of my MU-X.
It gives me a feel of strength.
And it is not just a feeling. Many buy the MU-X to tow a caravan.
If I ever need a silent car I borrow my wife´s Honda.
Does pajero tow 3.5 tonne?
You are the best keep up the good work
Informative review as always Paul. Can you do one improvement? On the hoist and do a suspension and under body look and review like Savage Geese. That would be the icing on the cake. Don't use a Turbowski though.
I'd love that. We just don't have ready access to one unfortunately. But we do have something else fun coming for the off-road tests.
We got our new 2021/2022 mux ls-t today lots of room looks great and very comfortably
I like this a lot and I am a genuine buyer. 3 things on my wish list, Wireless Charging, Cooled Seats and Moon Roof. Yes I want one, it looks great 👍
Good looking ride. No doubt it will conquer the outback. The reliability of the ISUZU Diesel cannot be questioned.
As far as price is concerned Auto manufacturers have been hit with a global shortage of Micro electronics so it's probably a temporary hike and it may stay like this, who knows.
As usual great review mate.
Those blank buttons around the gear selector are the perfect spot to engage or disengage the safety features. I don't know why going through so many sub menus is necessary. But overall, I'm liking this new MU-X! Could replace my Fortuner with one really soon.
Agreed!
Agree ! Although I have one on order this was "almost a deal breaker." Let's hope Isuzu listen and do a firmware update re once you plug in trailer wiring harness (tow) their recommendations re switching off some of the setting happens automatically. Pain in the arse to have to go through the settings every time i.e. ridiculous imho !
Excellent review. Thanks.
I love your review Paul, it is quite informative and balanced. Please do review of Nissan Terra. Thanks
In India ISUZU too has just D-MAX and MUX but both of them are the previous generation. They discontinued both the cars last year prior hitting BS6 Emission Norms and just 3 months back they relaunched them with updated norms. Wish they launched the latest/current generation models of both.
Excellent review as always Paul. Only thing you missed out is that the third row seats recline as well.
It's a good step up from its previous generation, but, if we compare it to its other competitors, it does not offer anything new. It does not offer any AWD system for the road, does not offer sliding rear seat, no option for sunroof, no third row top tether points.
And for that, it is certainly 3-4 k more expensive. They should have kept the price somewhere between pajero sport and fortuner.
Let's see how the D-Max sales go once the driveaway deals are finished. Same goes for MUX. The promo 63,990 driveway deal is great. But once it goes back to its RRP +on roads, then it will be interesting to see how the sales turn out.
Everest is a prime example of a good product but overpriced than competitors, and it certainly reflects on its sales.
Good point! I should have called that out.
And yes - on price it'll be interesting to see how it pans out. There's huge demand for these vehicles at the moment due to COVID and people not travelling. But it's yet to seen if this will be sustained once it all simmers down.
It should be cheaper than Pajero Sport because of that ancient part time 4x4 system. It has no reason to be dearer than the 4x4 with the best 4x4 system.
1st time viewer on this channel.
👍👍👍👍👍
Can you also please do Review on Nissan Terra 2022? Thanks
Great review. I find it amusing in the comments that people are calling it dated already, looks pretty stylish to me, test drove one the other day and it's a nice drive. I agree on the price but I think the increased tow and features can justify.....maybe just! I buy for reliability, I've known many people that purchased the last model MUX and they love it, never had an issue. Isuzu specialize in diesel and are damn good at their trade. I have no issues against the ford but that screen look ridiculous and most people I talk to tell me to stay away from them. It's Isuzu or Toyota for me.
All good points!
I love the outside styling, but I kinda think he is right about the shelf life of the interior design. Compare it to even cheaper cars like the Chinese MG HS, with big stand-up touch screen, and the even bigger Tesla-like design mooted for the new Ford Everest, and its already looking like last years designs. Another disappointment is the imitation leather seats (hailed as Coolmax - here in Thailand, not sure about Oz). A backward step from my 2017 MU-X with genuine leather.
It does not have a true 3.5t towing, so thats negated. Do the maths and if you towed 3.5, you're left with almost no additional carrying capacity for the wife and kids plus the dog. No 360 camera. No sliding seats. No QI charging. Clunky infotainment. At 66k, you'd have to be touched in the head to buy one over its competitors
That can be said for any car claiming a tow weight. Same maths applies to a Prado claiming 3 tonne so I don’t understand your point. Last model MUX had 3 tonne, I’m simply saying it’s upped its towing capacity to most utes on the market. I took one for a test drive, the leather is nice, there is plenty of leg room in the back without the slides ( look at the video again and see how far back that guys seat is LOL) and the entertainment system is superior to most new Toyota’s I test drove at $20-$30K more than the MUX. I’m just saying it’s my opinion based on actually seeing one in the flesh, not from a monitor 😂😂😂. If I was to buy one it would be based on the engine and reliability, these guys know how to make a diesel. Ford has a history of issues and that screen looks fucking ridiculous
@@Portyhouse comparing it to a Toyota is laughable. Pretty sure they think it's still 2003 in terms of spec. And there are actually a few that can tow heavy without compromise to the GVM, like the Land rover discovery (admit build quality is a bit questionable). Although towing anything over 3 with a vehicle this small and light is a recipe for disaster. If you truly need a tow tug, look for a vehicle designed for it like the Ram, knowing you give up other things
Great Video...the extra towing capacity is great as it has increased the GCM, ...the advantage of this is you get the full advantage of a GVM upgrade (previous model only 5,600) now 5,900
In the early 00s, Isuzu had a model in North America called the Axiom, based on the US Rodeo/International MU. That infotainment console is very reminiscent of the Axiom's, though the Axiom is primitive by today's standards.
Great review and yes Isuzu should offer a factory off road version MU-X
Agreed!
Been hanging out for your review, great work. Looks great, just not sure the price increase matches the long awaited upgrades.
Thanks for watching!
I think you’ll find that the spare switch locations are just that, spare. They allow for the installation of various accessories such as driving lights, roof lights, diff locks etc. etc..
There are spare switches near the driver's knee for accessories. Not sure which other ones you'd add to the centre. But makes sense.
@@CarExpertAus i think it is just a design problem.
Would you be able to find switches in that shape and size?
Indeed! They are very useful for those who wish to modify their cars, and these have great potential for overlanders and offroaders.
In the overseas model those centre switches are for heated and air conditioning seats and also surround camera view. These features didn’t make it to Australian models
At 26:38 there is a level of detail I saw for the first time. The rear lights have a 3D effect like the Lexus LC500. That is super cool!!
Yes you're right!
I love the mux writing inside the lens
Love it!
Off-road is the usual with Isuzu, no bs, just very good. I can live with non led turning signals I guess..but I seriously love the front… then I realized why… I absolutely love the new merc c class…
does anyone else see the resemblance?
An off-road c class :)
As always, thank you for a great review.
Hey Paul! I believe since the new Everest and Ranger does have that big ole’ touch screen. It may have the Enhanced Park Assist 2.0 it’s similar to the 6th gen Explorer
I hope so - that'd be cool!
Love the new exterior, made it more suburban in the new front and back end but thankfully can still do the off road business. Definitely a much needed upgraded on previous model.
Better to look at as it looks like an Everest now but its a 4x2 on bitumen even if you buy the so called 4x4. Its primitive transfer case system and no centre diff make it an inferior wagon for safe towing. Everest or Pajero Sport can tow caravans on wet or dry bitumen in 4 wheel drive. Dopey Isuzu repeated the last models Massey Ferguson antique part time 4 wd only usable on loose surfaces. Borderline dangerously outdated technology. We were expecting that to be fixed.
Looks too generic, like the boring Everest. Used to look distinctive. No 4x4 onroad means its not a good towcar choice. AWD is a huge safety feature of its rivals. Why they didn't fix that blaring omission eludes me.
Very good work with the off road test 👏 the car looked like it almost tipped over.
Thanks!
Is it just me or there's that Mazda like look on the front bumper side? 🤔
That's because Isuzu own Mazda, so Mazda use Isuzu parts. Same with the D'Max and BT50
@@kcarpenter6125 that is a lie. Isuzu does not own any stake in Mazda or vice versa. Its just a joint venture
@@brian_jakeYes it is a joint venture but after Mazda left Ford in 2016 they joined Isuzu who then hold a share in Mazda
Looks like a some discarded Mazda design study.
Definitely a hint of Mazda at the front
Great review.
What a Amazing SUV, i hope this car already in Indonesia
I don't own a DMAX, but my cousin does. It is a 2013 DMAX which he has lifted, tuned and accessorised. The only issues he has had is one of the diff centre's wear out at around 150K, and the alternator around the same time. With a tune, the motors are absolutely amazing, they make around 800Nm of Torque and over 200HP at the wheels, reliably. Still getting 800-900KM's a tank on the highways, on a 2.7T vehicle. For an IFS vehicle, it has great wheel articulation too. Seats kind of hurt my back though. Another thing to note, they have EGR problems if not kept clean, but that is less relevant when the motor is stock and not tuned.
Thanks for that feedback!
@@CarExpertAus This may be outside your scope, but performance over the entire rev range can completely change how a vehicle drives. Cars with lower peak power figures can have significantly higher power down low, and can lead to in my opinion, a better driving experience. For example, the ford Barra engines from the falcon have a lot of power down low. Not all companies provide torque curves, and I doubt they would allow it to be dyno'd either!
Where possible, it might introduce a unique element to your style of motoring journalism.
Have been enjoying a Paj Sport for last 6 months.. glad I didn't wait.
It's great value for money!
The body shape and wheel specs of this suv also seems to have some resemblance to its ancestor, the isuzu vehicross. And they're both sporty looking too.
I own (since new) a 2017 4x4 Dmax. It’s done 120,000km. The window buttons on the drivers side collapsed and the dealer just re glued them. The infotainment failed and they replaced it. The front inner guards have cracked on both sides twice in the last year. ($10k fix) Isuzu have knocked back the warranty claim. It is a well known manufacturing defect. Check out the owners forums. Isuzu are not speaking to us but my insurer is helping us out and they say Isuzu and Hyundai are the worst to deal with in terms of cooperation and transparency. People I’ve spoken to who have been through the same thing have gone to court but Isuzu settle out of court and get them to sign a non disclosure agreement so there’s no precedence. I highly recommend anyone to do their research before getting sucked into Isuzu’s current marketing hype. The company is awful to deal with and it has been quite traumatic for my family to deal with. We are still in the warranty period.
Also for the money and compared to its competitors having brand new models hitting the market soon like the new Ranger/Everest Isuzu are a joke trying to charge what they are. They’re not reliable, just the engine and drivetrain. They cannot handle corrugated roads without cracking inner guards due to manufacturing defect.
That’s disappointing to hear. Feel free to shoot me an email through our website and I’m happy to follow this up with Isuzu to see what the story is. Just head to www.carexpert.com.au and click Contact.
@@CarExpertAus thanks, I will
Love your reviews, however it would be good to see a towing review for these SUV’s, is that possible? Most people buy them to tow caravans etc. also for the rexton if possible.
Hi Paul, excellent review, I have a quick question, I am very close to buy a Pajero Sport, I can see the MUX has more safety features than pajero sport, but one think I like most is the Super Select II 4WD from Pajero Sport, Do you think should I spend more money and get MUX instead Pajero sport? I would really apreciate any help, thansk
We love our 2023 MU-X LSU 4WD for towing a 19' 6" caravan (Tare 2260kgs), for driving on the beach and for driving around town. We paid $65K with complete towing pack plus metallic paint (to make sure we got clear coat). And, it is $90K cheaper than a Landcruiser! We previously had a 2017 MU-X LST 2WD and loved that and still got $35K when sold. (So, only $30K to change over. A no brainer).
Paul Maric, the Aussie Doug DeMuro! Greetings from Reno, NV USA. Thanks again for the US conversions. Awesome dude!
Thanks for watching!
The second seat also can add to flat cargo space. In the video you show it in the tumbled forward position, but when is folded like that it can go back to the floor folded, and then you have a larger flat cargo area.
Anyway, when tumbled fordward the deep space they leave are quite useful for tall objects. I have used them in that way to carry jerry cans of extra fuel and water, gas bottles, and I have also used that deep space for an emergency porta loo.
great video i liked the isuzu mux offroad capabilities in my country kenya still have the 2015 model 2022 model havent seen it
Just brought one soon to be delivered
As far as incandescent globes I see no issue indicator units (LED) can fail due to the use and tech involved not saying that would be the issue however replacing a globe compared to an led unit is significantly cheaper
Just like many modern vehicles, you have to see this one in real life to truly appreciate its beauty.
This is the perfect look for a mid SUV perfect shape and lights design.
Nice review Paul. I’d love to see a review on the Haval H9
Noted! We will try and track one down.
@@CarExpertAus Sweet that would be great 👍
That would depend on the Havel holding together long enough to be tested.🤔
I think the looks of This MUX going to stay for really long(depends on various market),it has charm of beauty with a sence of practicality, decent off road capabilities, functional will not break the bank in case something goes wrong, Ample power, Ya could go with V6 around with 250-300hp( Diesel) engine. Plus I loved the Instrument cluster which gives me a sense a feeling of driving a Automobile not working on a laptop or playing a video game. It's Like beauty is a beast . Love You Isuzu. But I guess it's not landing on Indian shore anytime soon. Till then we have to deal with Fortuner ,Endeavor or Older generation Mux. Nice review though , Is it a ladder frame or Monocoque construction. With Monocoque layout the body can flex a bit may trouble to shut doordoor, Whereas even ladder frame flexes but just little, it's not semi.
Considering how good the UTE looks at the front, I have to say this cars face is for me...weird. It looks like the chassis wants to stop but the front of the car wants to keep going. At least the stance and interior is good. Another great review.
Great review, I have the 2017 mux, great car
Are you planning to upgrade?
@@CarExpertAus yes in 4 months, probably early 2022, my mux has only done 85000 ks
We have a 2018 my-x 2x4 LST. We have spoken about upgrading to the new version. We’ve already noted that the CD player has gone, as has the DVD player/roof monitor, great for the kids on long trips. One thing that I have wondered about is in the rear, do the air vents blow out hot and cold air? From memory the previous model didn’t allow for the heater to circulate hot air into the rear cabin (hope that makes sense).
That is a good looking and capable machine. I'd consider owning it. And yes, an off-road version could be a good option.
Good looking? 🤣
Extra for a colour? when will all colours be included in on the price?
Price hike for these is definitely disappointing. I bought a new 2018 LSU MUX 2x4 for 37k in Australia and love it, the 4JJ1 engine and Aisin gearbox was the selling point for me. Solid drivetrain and engine was what I was after for a family tarmac warrior. 90% of people who will buy the 4x4 will never engage 4H or 4L but hey the marketing experts have that all wrapped up! As for the Ford Everest, anyone who forks out 70k for the highly strung 2 litre twin turbo mated to a dismal 10 speed gearbox, needs to realign their priorities...
Hopefully, ,I can pick up my MUX LST in approx 2 weeks but I was a little disappointed that the front passenger seat has no elevation unlike the drivers seat.
So the other half being short is confined to sitting on a cushion. Like you said Paul, some forward/rear adjustment on the second row seats would be nice as well, but allowing for the price rise (which even surprised dealers) I would have expected the l/h /f seat to raise up and down. Apart from that, I really am looking forward to towing our van and getting away??????????
I too have been waiting for the release but a little under whelmed I have to say. Its caught up to the Everest a bit in some ways but with no full time 4wd and traction control off in 4L it still fails short.
Yep, the lack of full-time four-wheel drive is a real shame.
Great review. So we cannot use 4H on highway driver in a rainy day when the road are slipply?
I am amazed on how you test drive MUX.
😁
After the latest d-max launched, and now this stunning 7 seat model. Surely, its not the ordinary Isuzu :))
