Isuzu has added the MU-X 1.9 LS 4x4 to its South African range, a seven-seat SUV aimed at drivers who want one vehicle for commuting, family duties, long trips and off-road use.
What is it?
The MU-X 1.9 LS 4x4 is a new derivative in the line-up. It is designed to strengthen Isuzu’s position in the SUV market by offering a balance of everyday usability and genuine off-road ability, the manufacturer says.
Exterior:
The MU-X comes with 235 mm ground clearance, an 800 mm wading depth and favourable approach and departure angles, making it suitable for rough terrain. A selectable four-wheel-drive system, rear differential lock, Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control add capability.
Interior:
The cabin seats seven and is fitted with partial leather trim. The driver’s seat has eight-way power adjustment, while the front passenger seat offers four-way adjustment. A nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. USB charging ports are available for both front and rear passengers. Flexible second- and third-row seating configurations add practicality for families.
Powertrain:
The MU-X is powered by a 1.9-litre turbo diesel engine producing 110 kW and 350 Nm of torque. It is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine is tuned for efficiency while still providing towing capacity and responsive performance.
Price and warranty:
The retail price for the MU-X 1.9 LS 4x4 is R789 700. Buyers receive a five-year/120 000 km warranty with roadside assistance, a six-year/90 000 km service plan and a five-year unlimited kilometre anti-corrosion warranty.
The current oil and fuel crisis is easier to understand when the global energy supply chain is viewed as a network rather than simply a question of how much oil the world produces.

Cars are the ultimate symbol of freedom, independence and individualism. They offer the freedom to ‘go anywhere,’ whenever it suits and with whom one chooses.
