We purchased a Dmax in 2015 for a company car and compared to the other items out there absolutely loved it. Our family car was recently showing its age and needed some money spent on it so we decided to go with the MUX. You can’t get better for value for money compared to the others and it’s more refined than the Dmax (eg lower engine noise) that keeps the wife happy. We are now a Isuzu family and are looking forward to years of trouble free motoring ahead.

Great 4WD! We brought it because it it was so family friendly. Has got 7 seats and a dvd player for the kids. Seperate aircon for front, middle and back passengers. Also has airbags around the whole vehicle - so if safe for kids right at the back.
Is great for 4wd driving - buy I recommend getting fatter tyres then the ones that are currently on it.
We get 700km to the tank.

Fuel readings are not consistent, when new it was easy to 7.8 or 8.0 litres / 100klms it now gives false readings of 25 or 15 litres / 100 KLM other stupid readouts, filled up with fuel to the top of tank and was driving down the highway minutes later at 95 KLM/hour with a read out saying I had 960 to go, with a 65 litre tank that's impossible. The car has only travelled 15,000 klms, the only thing that seems correct is the bar graph gauge. Isuzu don't seem concerned at all, just wait for my next service heads are going to roll.

This car is the best selling 4WD after the Prado. There's a good reason for that, do your own research but leave out the opinions of the "advertising biased" magazines. According to these 4WD experts the Fortuner is the best car yet the MUX outsells is 3 to 1.
Now my opinion, this car is the best value for money vehicle by far. Fuel economy, towing, features, servicing costs, spare parts, life expectancy etc etc. nothing beats Isuzu engine reliability, forget Toyota, they're talking about their petrol engines, not diesel.
Negatives are it doesn't have a self closing rear hatch! That's it.

My 2015 Isuzu mux has done 45000 k's and has never missed a beat. I am getting 800 k's to a tank but this did not happen until I reached 40,000 K's and I do not think it is fully run in yet. Best vehicle I have owned. Costs much less to run than the Toyota GXL I owned and has no interior noises what so ever.

We purchased our MUX in 2015 and it has been the best decision we have made for a vehicle purchase ever. We will be buying another! Its roomy with so many features. We bought the top of the line with gps and dvd player. The dvd player has been a god send with the kids. Gps has been excellent also. There is nothing I do not like about his vehicle. The metallic silver is easy to clean and gorgeous to look at. A+++++

I took an LST model for a test drive, I was not too impressed with the engine noise after started the car, it took like 15 minutes of riding for the engine noise to settle, during this 15min time I felt driving our old toyota diesel fj40 1981.

I think the car suspension and steering needs to be reviewed as I felt the car too loose, was not a good feeling taking a corner or trying to steer around.

I felt a lag on the engine response when you press the pedal, but once you are around 80kms response feels ok, but not great.

The finishes of theninterior are pretty good and dont feel cheap.

The equipment of the car is pretty good but I would sacrifice equipment for a better handling as the fortuner (tested and buying it).

Serious cracking has developed in the inner guard area, near the compliance plate, near the battery tray, radiator support panel and the outer guards mounts have started breaking. At 2 years old and 170k the car wouldn't pass a roadworthy. I was personally looking at purchasing one for my wife but would never entertain the thought after seeing the seriousness of the cracks. Google search Isuzu cracks.... the car is a company car and driven by the one driver from new who intended to purchase it at end of lease. Never had an issue with his previous work cars. car is totally standard with an oem factory bull bar fitted and never crashed. Isuzu to date don't want to know about it.

This car is simply outstanding.
Ex demo purchased from Isuzu in packenham where the team are friendly easy to deal with and we're eager to please
Extremely happy with the dealer and the car
It has great warranty, heaps of extras and will go to Isuzu as a first choice to by my wife's next car.

Overall I'm really impressed with its fuel economy (averaging 8.2L/100km) and low servicing costs. Reliable Isuzu engine and 55,000km later it hasn't missed a beat. One of the most underrated 4WDs out there. I have slowly added extras and the aftermarket accessories available are growing. Well done Isuzu, it's a winner.

After test driving all the 4x4 on the market the isuzu is value for money and almost faultless. The suspension is a little soft, so an upgrade is recommended for off road use. Towing 2.7 tonne is done with ease and excellent fuel economy. The over priced Toyota Prado is in no comparison with the isuzu. Ford Everest is also rated well but you might need an extra 20k with a few extras.

Beautiful to drive, very high up off the ground, stunning interiors. Much noisier than my old Mazda 3, but much nicer all round. They nailed the interior, perfect.

Only just got car so can not comment on reliability. Running costs excellent. Very good handelling, however reversing such a tall vehicle can be challenging even with reversing cameras.

So far everything has been as expected or better. We have been slowly adding our extras to accommodate for grey nomad life. Most people who see our vehicle are suitably impressed. We have also managed to persuade others to either test drive or buy. Fuel economy is very good, comfort also fine. Happy,

Doing nearly 1,000 kms a week I wanted an economical vehicle and I got it - 8.1l/100kms. This is the first new car I've bought that I haven't thought about my next upgrade after 12 months - still totally in love! Leather where it counts seats, flip down DVD screen, more cup holders than a movie theatre, 7 seats (with the rear two folded down I can fit my kayak inside!), great touch screen stereo, lots of storage compartments, reverse camera and sensors, the list goes on. I spent a lot of time researching before purchasing this vehicle and fuel economy and reliability were my top of this list -70,000kms later and it hasn't skipped a beat!

Great fuel economy for touring and very reliable Isuzu engine. Seem to go anywhere the ground clearance let's them including driving in heavy sand.Very powerful engine compared to a hilux 2017 best choice I've made.Great amount of space inside for kids or storage and around town has a much better turning circle than anything else.
