Isuzu MU-X 2024: Australian pricing and specifications

 

Prices are up, but the MU-X SUV now gains a new 1.9-litre turbo-diesel engine, just like its D-Max ute sibling 


Isuzu Ute Australia has confirmed local pricing and specifications for its 2024 MU-X large SUV lineup, with a new 1.9-litre turbo-diesel engine headlining the changes. 

The MU-X will gain the same 1.9-litre engine as found in the D-Max ute, which produces 110kW/350Nm and has a claimed combined fuel economy of 7.4L/100km, or 0.9L/100km more efficient than the existing 3.0-litre 4JJ3 turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine still offered in the range. 

The Isuzu MU-Xs fitted with the new 1.9-litre turbo-diesel engine will have a braked towing capacity of 3000kg, down 500kg from the 3.0-litre variants.
