2019 ISUZU MU-X looks far more better than before and packs more features and reliable diesel engine
Isuzu Motors India launches the new ISUZU mu-X in India, today. The new mu-X projects a more aggressive stance with its refreshed design at both front and rear of the SUV. The refreshed model of the mu-X now comes with sportier ‘Lava Black’ premium interior upholstery and fine quilted leather seats in the 7-seater, full-size, premium SUV segment in India. The SUV is now packed with more features both on the exterior and interior with enhanced safety features including 6-Airbags and Hill Descent Control (HDC). Cricketing legend, Jonty Rhodes, the lifestyle ambassador of ISUZU in India, drove the new mu-X with his family at the launch event held at Taj Falaknuma in Hyderabad.
The distinctive exterior on the front gets new Bi-LED Auto-levelling projector headlamps with contemporary integrated light-guide and stylish Daylight Running Lamps (DRLs). The rear of the vehicle carries refreshed tail-lights with accentuated LED positon lights, 2-tone rear spoiler and shark-fin antenna with gun-metal finish, appealing to many new age buyers. The new 18-inch multi-spoke twist design diamond-cut alloy wheels makes the SUV more sporty, muscular and aspirational.
The drivetrain is powered by a 3.0 litre legendary ISUZU 4JJ1 Diesel Engine which delivers a maximum power output of 177 PS and a maximum torque of 390 Nm that is designed with a significant flat torque curve. The new mu-X will be available in both 4×2 and 4×4 variants with 5-speed sequential shift Automatic Transmission. The 4×4 variant sports a ‘shift-on-the-fly’ select dial for an excellent off-roading capability. The new mu-X has a higher ground clearance of 230 mm and class-leading approach and departure angles, ready to take on demanding terrains.
The soft-touch panels, bright silver-finish centre cluster & chrome-finish vent knobs add to the aesthetic appeal of the SUV. The SUV is now equipped with 6-Airbags (front, side and curtain) providing comprehensive safety for the occupants. ISUZU vehicles are renowned for their tough build and the mu-X stays true to this reputation with a high tensile steel body with tailor welded blanks and crumple zones with anti-intrusion bars.
The mu-X is fully loaded with advanced active safety systems like ESC (Electronic Stability Control), TCS (Traction Control System), HDC (Hill Descent Control) and ABS (Antilock Braking System) with EBA (Emergency Brake Assist) and EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution).
A key aspect of the mu-X is the 3rd row seating which allows adults to have a comfortable seating with ample leg room and foot-well. Another key aspect is the fully folding second row seat with a one-touch fold-and-tumble feature with maximum ingress space. The full size 7-seater SUV has been designed to provide the best-in-class space inside the vehicle, one of the unique features of the mu-X. Along with space, the mu-X sports other creature comforts, along with superior options for entertainment. All this and much more make the new mu-X truly desirable in the premium full size 7-seater SUV segment.
