2026 Isuzu MU-X LS-M RWD

The 2026 Isuzu MU-X LS-M is a seven-seat large SUV with a practical rear-wheel-drive layout, a diesel engine and the substantial proportions expected of a vehicle designed to carry people and equipment. Finished in Mercury Silver Metallic with a black interior trim, this example has travelled just 25 km and is presented as a new vehicle.

Its 2.2-litre four-cylinder DOHC turbo-intercooled diesel produces 120 kW and 400 Nm, with peak torque available from 1,600 to 2,400 rpm. The engine is paired with an eight-speed sports automatic transmission, providing a broad spread of ratios for everyday driving and longer-distance travel. The listed combined fuel consumption is 6.4L/100km, while the 80-litre fuel tank supports the long-distance brief of this large SUV.

Space and flexibility are central to the MU-X’s appeal. The second row uses a 60:40 split-fold arrangement, while the third row is divided 50:50, allowing the cabin to be configured around passengers, luggage or larger items. Seven seats make it suitable for carrying a larger group, while the manual tailgate and integrated rear spoiler retain a straightforward, functional approach.

The LS-M combines useful convenience equipment with a broad suite of driver assistance systems. An eight-inch touchscreen provides wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, while the four-speaker audio system, steering-wheel audio and voice controls, keyless entry and push-button start support routine use. Manual air-conditioning with an integrated heater and demister is fitted, along with automatic windscreen wipers and automatic headlights with high-beam functionality.

Safety equipment includes eight airbags, autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, emergency brake assist and post-collision braking. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, lane departure prevention, emergency lane keeping and traffic sign recognition add further assistance on busy roads. Adaptive cruise control includes stop-and-go functionality, while driver attention assist, intelligent speed limiting and misacceleration mitigation extend the electronic safety package. A reversing camera with dynamic guidelines assists with positioning the SUV in confined spaces.

On the outside, the vehicle is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels and all-terrain tyres sized 255/65 R17, along with black aluminium side steps, black door handles and black power-adjustable mirrors. Ground clearance is listed at 230 mm, and the full-size steel spare wheel provides a practical backup for extended travel. The electric park brake includes an auto-hold function, while hill-start assist, hill-descent control, electronic stability control and traction control support control across varied surfaces.

The MU-X also offers substantial rated carrying and towing capability. Its braked towing capacity is listed at 3,500 kg and its unbraked capacity at 750 kg, with a stated payload of 705 kg. Gross vehicle mass is 2,700 kg and gross combined mass is 5,900 kg. Together with its seven-seat cabin and split-fold rear seating, these specifications give the LS-M a useful balance between passenger accommodation and load-carrying flexibility.
