Reliability:u00a0The MU-Xu2019s diesel engine is the latest version of the Isuzu engine used since the last Holden Rodeo. That means itu2019s dependable, even if itu2019s not the most advanced or refined engine. Itu2019s also backed by the Aisin five-speed auto used by Toyota in several Prado and Land Cruiser models. Thatu2019s a winning combo.
4×4:u00a0After a hard weeku2019s work, there are not many better things to do than escape the other humans. And the MU-X will take you pretty much anywhere you want to go. Itu2019s not a soft-roader. Itu2019s a real 4×4, with old-school capability.
Price:u00a0Starting at $45,600 for the manual and $47,800 for the automatic, the MU-X is excellent value for money. In fact, if a dependable, tough 4×4 wagon without bells and whistles is what you want, itu2019s hard to find better value.
Training:u00a0If youu2019ve always wanted to go off road but you donu2019t know where to start, the Isuzu I-Venture Club can assist with professional 4×4 training for Isuzu owners. The short courses are designed to help owners get the most out of their vehicles, whether theyu2019re novices or hardcore off-roaders.nn
MINUS
Cabin:u00a0This is not a fancy pants car. The cabin looks dated and it has more of a commercial feel than a passenger-vehicle feel. Itu2019s practical, though. Just donu2019t expect all the latest and greatest tech and refinements.
Old-school:u00a0The MU-X is not the most user-friendly car for those who have never driven a 4×4. It has a part-time 4×4 system, which means the driver has to choose the right 4×4 mode as needed. Also, its traction control is a bit outdated and there is no rear diff lock or hill-descent control. What all that means is you need to know what youu2019re doing to take this wagon off-road u2013 which is where Isuzu I-Venture Club can help.
