The new Isuzu mu-X<\/a> seven-seater SUV has been launched with updates to the vehicle, both inside and out.<\/p>\n

Key changes are the new front grille and blue spectrum bi-LED projector headlights, new LED tail lamps, six airbags, new soft touch interior, the addition of Hill Descend Control, new 18″ alloys and a new paint option, Havana Brown.<\/p>\n

The blue-spectrum LED headlights are to reduce driver fatigue and improve vision at night. They are also equipped with LED Daytime Running Lights and an auto-levelling function to adjust the height of the headlamps when carrying cargo.<\/p>\n

The mu-X interior has been upgraded with a new multi-information electroluminescent\u00a0instrument cluster, cream coloured quilted leather seats, wood pattern trim on the doors and dashboard, and a new eight-speaker infotainment system. In the four-wheel drive version, there’s an eight-inch touchscreen monitor with a drop down monitor for the rear passengers to watch DVDs. The two-wheel drive variant comes with a seven-inch DVD touchscreen.<\/p>\n

Unchanged in the mu-X is the engine and transmission combination of the 2.5-litre VGS Turbo Intercooler diesel engine paired with a five-speed automatic gearbox. Driving safety aids, now enhanced with Hill Descend Control, include ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist and hill-start assist. In addition, there are now six airbags, an increase from just two previously.<\/p>\n

Available in four colours, Havana Brown Mica, Silky White Pearl, Titanium Silver Metallic and Cosmic Black Mica, the 4X4 mu-x is RM179,000 while the 4X2 variant is RM172,640. Both prices are on-the-road without insurance.<\/p>\n
