Supremely reliable and trouble free currently at 190000km
This vehicle was purchased primarily as a long distance/ tow vehicle in late December 2013. It has just clocked up 190000 trouble free kilometers, still on original suspension and brake pads, and its third set of tyres are relatively new. Apart from a bust turbo when relatively new AFTER a service, replaced under warranty, there have been no breakdowns or any repair work required - servicing only.
The vehicle has travelled all over Queensland NSW and Victoria towing horse floats on often very bumpy roads eg Taroom to Moree. It has survived th...Read more

Bad back up of product
Innate the LST 2014 Isuzu mux I have had my GPS upgrade 1 year after I bought it in 2014 I was told by the salesman that I would get upgrades for the GPS but when I went on to download the map it was the same one I had on mine I even went back and got it from sevice centre but still the same so if I had known at the time I would of bought the model down from the LST

Navigation upgrade costs
The car is very good my complaint is with the cost of the navigation up grade. Tried doing it today but stopped when I found out the costs were $200. Will just have to put up with errors that are in it. Example is on the south eastern freeway into Adelaide the speed is 90K this is on the screen but just before the two fixed cameras the voice tells you its 100K. This type of error is all the way through.

Love our latest addition Isuzu MUX
Love our MUX, can not fault anything. Our grandchildren absolutely love Grandpa's car, especially the dvd player. They think they are so cool when grandpa picks them up from school in the Isuzu. We have fun watching the grass grow and have one tree starting (an app that tells you how you are travelling ecomonically). Dealership was fantastic Harrison Isuzu, Shane sales manager and Johnathan salesman.

- MU-X Series I 4WD 3.0L Diesel LS-T (2013-2016)
- Verified purchase
After some disappointing cars the MU-X is by far the BEST car I have owned
After owning several below average vehicles from new over the years, I have finally found one I am very happy with.
The MU-X 4WD ticked all my boxes in the car I wanted, and after 18 months, I wouldn't swap it.
I was after a 4WD I could take off-road, that was reliable, economical, and without the big price tag that usually comes with the Toyota's or Nissan's. Although I can service a car, I am no mechanic so reliability was my main criteria, as I intend to go outback touring. The Isuzu is renowned for it's reliability, and there are very few...Read more

Great car, terrible customer service.
I bought the ISUZU MU-X over a Prado because of the 5 year warranty. I've had two warranty claims with terrible service/communication from the dealer at Chullora. They have repeatedly lied to me, don't seem to know the vehicle (didn't know where the fuel pump was). They tell me it will be ready, don't answer their phones and then I find out it's not ready when I try to pick it up (this happened 6 times for the one warranty claim).
Now my GPS/stereo is broken. I took it in for a service they said new one was order and they would call me when...Read more
it is ready. After 4 weeks I call them, they forgot to record the serial number needed to order a new one (they had previously told me it was already ordered) and I need to take the car back in for a day so they can remove the unit, then I will need to take it back in a third time when the new unit arrives. They should have called me when they realised that they had stuffed up the first time. They are so hopeless that the guy at the service desk admitted that customers need to chase them as they don't call people back. The 5 year warranty would be great, if you can actually get the vehicle fixed. I've had poor service at a few other ISUZU dealers as well but Heartland at Chullora takes the cake. ISUZU Australia, great vehicle I should be on my second by now, but you need to teach your dealers about customer service. The dealer at Geraldton was fantastic, send him around Australia to your other dealers.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great vehicle but weird beeping
Has anyone had a problem with an intermittent beeping (single 1 second beep) with a MUX (MY15)? It seems to be activated by opening the rear cargo door. It then occurs the next few times that either the rear cargo door or driver's side door is opened then goes away. When it happens, a 'CHECK SYSTEM' message appears on the driver's display. It has occurred with motor running and not running, key in close proximity to vehicle and not. Dealer has checked it but cannot replicate the problem. I'm trying the spare key at the moment to see if it's related to that.
Apart from this, the MUX is a great vehicle - on road and off road.

MU-X where have you been!
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.

Love it
I bought last years model, MY15.5, in Jan 2017. I was looking at getting the 2017 model, but was finding it difficult to find specific details about it apart from it had a 6 speed transmission. I went to my local dealer to try and find out more about it, but they told me Isuzu keep this information close to their chest until it is released. They did however tell me that the list price would be about $10,000 more than the current model. I negotiated $48,500 for the 4x4 LST with towbar, electric brakes, anderson plug and mats. When the MY 17 was ...Read more
released, it's retail was only about $1,000 more than the previous retail price. Oh well, live and learn. Apart from this initial felling of being lied to, the MU-X is great and the price was competitive. The initial fuel economy was brilliant, I since have put a bull bar, winch, roof rack, long range tank in it and the economy went down by about 7%, which still isn't to bad. I put a hole in the side of the wall on a rock on my first 4WD excursion after only 4,000 kms. I have changed to all terrain 4WD tyres and would recommend anyone else do the same. All in all, it is quick, has loads of torque, easy to drive and I LOVE it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

FUEL READOUTS INCORRECT
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.

Fantastic for up here in the SA outback
I have been a Toyota man my whole life, with the exception of a work 4wd many years ago (Holden Jackaroo - Isuzu). So when we went looking for a replacement 4wd I was expecting to pick up another Toyota. Well like many did some on line searching and lots of reading and thought I would at least look at and drive a MU-X before buying my Toyota. Well long story short, I was impressed with the MU-X and the price certainly didn't hurt, what great value for money. To be honest there was something in the back of my mind would the Isuzu be reliable and...Read more
be able to handle the desert conditions we currently live in. The answer is so far it has been GREAT, we have done 40K kms fairly quickly with a lot of it done along the Borefield road, 4wd tracks and the Stuart highway. Not a single issue. Missus is very happy with the interior and the comfort level. Being a Radio tech, I found it easy to install my mountains of two way radio gear and to my surprise very little electrical noise when using my HF transceiver. All round it's a winner and would take it anywhere without any hesitation, what a great 4WD for the price. Well done Isuzu...Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

MUX [MY16.5] LS-T FUEL CONSUMPTION
I acquired this MUX LST April 2017 believing it would be a better tug for our Euro van of 1700kg.
Previously towed with a Mazda CX5 GT [Diesel 2.8lt] which delivered at best 9 and worst 12 lt-100k over a 10,000km return trip from Melbourne to Daintree [FNQ] and mostly driving at 85-90kph in cruise control.
So far, this trip around Australia via Nullarbor/Darwin/etc, and having done 12,000kms the MUX fuel consumption is relatively poor, delivering at best 12 and worst 16.5 lt-100k with various strategies of auto & "manual", with & without crui...Read more

Serious cracking in engine bay
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.

Couldn't be happier
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,

Still in love after 12 months
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!
Purchased in August 2021 at Isuzu Dealers.

It's the best car I have ever bought brand-new
The MU-X was purchased in November 2014 from Isuzu dealership in Smeaton Grange, on the outskirts of Sydney. I really can't praise it high enough. It is really a very good four-wheel-drive. Beautiful diesel engine, seven seats, air conditioning electric windows everything you need without all the fancy crap.
I looked at buying a Jeep, a Land Rover, and some other big four-wheel-drive is made in America, which on close inspection I found wanting
the Isuzu MU X has a beautiful shape, it's a big car for the girls to drive, who love it

Love my car
We have the top of the range MUX 7 seater wagon 4wd. We dealt with Traralgon Isuzu. They were fantastic.
Love the way my MUX handles and drives. What I think it is
Missing is USB ports in the back to charge iPads etc and the paint work is so easily scratched which we have spoken to Isuzu about and this is a common problem. We even had paint protection applied. These are the only things that let it down.
It is reliable, good on fuel, and a dream to drive and park. What makes it good also is that there are very few blind spots. As a second car if we had the money we would get a DMAX ute for hubby.
