2026 Isuzu MU-X LS-M RWD #IA001405 Brendale

The 2026 Isuzu MU-X LS-M is a seven-seat large SUV that combines a practical family layout with the mechanical characteristics expected of a capable diesel-powered touring vehicle. Finished in Basalt Black Mica and specified with rear-wheel drive, this example is aimed at drivers who want generous passenger space, substantial towing ability and a straightforward, durable drivetrain.

At its centre is a 2.2-litre four-cylinder DOHC turbo-intercooled diesel engine developing 120kW at 3,600rpm and 400Nm between 1,600 and 2,400rpm. The engine is paired with an eight-speed Aisin sports automatic transmission, giving the MU-X a broad spread of ratios for smooth progress and useful flexibility when carrying passengers or equipment. The quoted combined fuel economy is 6.4L/100km, supported by an 80-litre fuel tank and an idle stop-start system.

Towing is one of this vehicle’s defining strengths. The MU-X is rated to tow up to 3,500kg with a braked trailer and 750kg unbraked, while its 5,900kg gross combined mass provides useful scope for vehicle and trailer loads within the applicable limits. A 705kg payload capacity and 230mm of ground clearance further underline its practical orientation, while 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with 255/65 R17 all-terrain tyres provide an appropriate balance between road manners and versatility.

Inside, the cabin accommodates seven occupants across three rows. The second row folds in a 60:40 split and the third row uses a 50:50 split, allowing the interior to be adapted between passenger carrying and cargo duties. The driver’s seat has six-way adjustment, while manual air-conditioning with an integrated heater and demister supports everyday comfort. Black trim complements the dark exterior finish and gives the interior a restrained, durable feel.

Technology is centred around an eight-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, allowing compatible phones to connect without a cable. The system is supported by a four-speaker audio setup, while the steering wheel incorporates controls for cruise functions, audio and voice recognition. Push-button start, keyless entry, power windows and black power-adjustable mirrors add convenience to the daily driving experience.

Safety equipment is extensive. Eight airbags, including front, curtain, side, driver’s knee and far-side airbags, are joined by autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, emergency brake assist and turn assist with AEB. Adaptive cruise control includes stop-and-go functionality, while lane departure warning, lane keep assist, lane departure prevention and emergency lane keeping provide additional support on longer drives. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert assist when changing lanes or reversing, with a reversing camera using dynamic guidelines helping with low-speed manoeuvring.
