Isuzu MU-X

Great car. Always been serviced and even though I have only owned for 11 months it does not miss a beat. The only issue I have with the Mux is the paintwork. It needs to have good protection on it e.g. Ceramic or paint protection products. Fantastic towing ability.

Good car tows really well through hilly country. But is burning about a litre of oil every 1000km.
The response I got from Isuzu was that's normal all engines use oil.
I have owned 3 Subaru's and they never use any oil. So why do the Isuzu mux burn oil. I am a bit concerned as I am considering a long road trip in the future.

After waiting 12+ months for car, less than 2 months on road and navigation system failed and needs to be replaced which Isuzu reports will take up to 9 months to get replacement? No empathy or compassion from Isuzu, they simply don’t see a problem with this after you’ve spent hard earned dollars to by a supposed rugged and capable vehicle that doesn’t even last 2 months of driving on bitumen only. As the nav system is integrated with the operating interface this affects more than just nav system. Definitely would not recommend the Isuzu MUX to anyone.

The car itself is great and the safety features although a pain to get used to are very good.
Only gripes are the voice navigation system which I cannot seem to be able to work at all so have resorted to "Waze".
Also not confident with the Range meter which seems to show above what is really obtainable.
Fuel consumption is another problem with the vehicle getting 8.6 around town but on the Highway it is only getting 10.8 which is reverse of what you may expect.
Mind you I haven't asked the dealer about these problems as yet and they may be simple fixes.

Have had major issues with disengaging cruise control. Autonomous braking is activating when there are no other cars around. Fuel gauge is also unreliable. Has been to a service centre which has not fixed anything. Dealer is trying to help but Isuzu head office will not allow fixes. Fed up and frustrated

After waiting 12 months our new MUX finally arrived. We tow a 23ft caravan and it does a slightly better job than its predecessor especially up hills.
Smooth transmission and lighter steering. Annoying bells and whistles which can be turned off but what's the point in paying for them initially.
Fuel economy is a little higher than the 2014 model but improving as the engine wears in ( 12.5 k km ) so far.
Don't regret getting it but wonder if it was worth the additional cost to upgrade

After waiting 11mths we now have our new 2022 MUX LST picked up 7mths ago. I love driving this car.. love the 20 inch wheels look great. Wish i could find a spare set. Plenty of power but fit a throttle controller to eliminate feeling of lag. Drives Smoothly and comfortable but was expecting better than 9.5 litres per 100klms around town. A trip went well at 8 per 100.
Tows the aluminium boat like it's no even there. Looking forward to our retirement road trips.

This vehicle ticks all the boxes for me, roomy, comfortable and economical. Whether driving in the suburbs or cruising on a road trip it suits the purpose and with seats folded down the internal space is cavernous. I love it.

I have been back to the dealers in Thailand to fix the steering vibration. They have rebalances the wheels 3 times, carried out yet another alignment which shown it was out even though it's brand new. Their response - it's their standard and cannot be fixed. This must either be a combination of bad 20" low profile tyres, shocks & springs not up to the job or the Hydraulic steering. It's probably a combination of all of them. So now I have to spend money to fix the problem, which is probably shocks & new wheels. Never will I buy an Isuzu again.

I picked mine up a few weeks ago and love it. The wheels were junk so swopped them out. Funny but nobody wanted to buy them cause they're so ugly. Anyway, whacked on some sweet black steel units and 30"mtx and happy days. Took it to Lancelin and hit every dune possible. Car didn't miss a beat. Wish there was a little more space in the 3rd row for the kids but otherwise, pretty happy.
