2026 Isuzu MU-X LS-M RWD

The 2026 Isuzu MU-X LS-M is a large seven-seat SUV designed around practical family transport, long-distance touring and useful load-carrying ability. Finished in Mercury Silver Metallic with a black interior, this rear-wheel-drive example has travelled just 25 km and combines a turbo-diesel engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Its 2.2-litre four-cylinder DOHC turbo-intercooled diesel produces 120 kW and 400 Nm, with peak torque available between 1,600 and 2,400 rpm. That output is matched to a stated braked towing capacity of 3,500 kg, while the 80-litre fuel tank and claimed combined fuel consumption of 6.4 L/100 km support the MU-X's role as a substantial touring vehicle. A 230 mm ground clearance figure and standard hill-start and hill-descent assistance add useful capability when road surfaces become less predictable, although this LS-M is specified with rear-wheel drive rather than four-wheel drive.

Passenger accommodation is a major strength. The second row uses a 60:40 split-fold arrangement, while the third row is divided 50:50, allowing the cabin to be adapted between carrying passengers and carrying larger items. Seven seats make the MU-X suitable for occasions when occasional extra capacity is needed, and the manual tailgate provides straightforward access to the rear cargo area.

Connectivity is handled through an eight-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. The steering wheel incorporates audio, cruise and voice-recognition controls, while central locking with keyless entry and push-button starting simplify everyday use. Automatic headlamps, automatic high beam and automatic windscreen wipers reduce the number of routine adjustments required by the driver. Dual-zone air conditioning is also identified in the vehicle information, helping separate front-seat temperature preferences.

The LS-M's standard safety equipment is comprehensive. Eight airbags cover the front, curtain, side, driver's knee and far-side positions, while autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, emergency brake assist and turn assist with AEB help address hazards ahead. Lane departure warning, lane keep assist, lane departure prevention and emergency lane keeping provide assistance when the vehicle begins to move away from its lane. Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are valuable when changing lanes or reversing from a parking space, complemented by a reversing camera with dynamic guidelines.

Other driver-assistance and stability systems include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, traffic sign recognition, intelligent and manual speed limiters, driver attention assist, electronic stability control, traction control and roll-over mitigation. Hill-start assist, hill-descent control and an electric park brake with auto hold further support controlled manoeuvring in varied conditions.

Outside, the LS-M specification includes 17-inch alloy wheels with 255/65 R17 all-terrain tyres, black aluminium side steps, black door handles and black power-adjustable mirrors. Bi-LED headlights with automatic levelling, LED daytime running lights and LED rear combination lamps provide a modern lighting signature. A full-size steel spare wheel is included, adding reassurance when travelling beyond urban areas.
