Low tech but strong!

published

Strong, roomy, reliable steed but seriously lacking in technology. 3 litre motor is strong but unrefined, noisy, harsh and lacks power. Trans shifts can be quite harsh. Inside it's the usual Asian car story - plastic. A sea of plastic! No rattles and creaks but the audio is woeful for a current production car. Top of the range and no Nav. Poor quality phone integration. Poor switchgear location for ESP, electrical mirrors and rear fan. Rear screen entertainment has no headphones so everyone has to listen to what rear seat passengers are watching! Rear load cover is a throw away item!

Added a folding mirror unit so that the mirrors now fold in when locked and modified the audio wiring so that I can call from the phone book while driving! Two services and the aftersales service is pretty average.

Best thing since sliced bread

published

We have had our Mux three years and have driven it around just as a car and also towed our caravan over 30,000 klms it handles extremely well very economical when towing we get around 11 literally per 100 and just driving around 8 per 100. It is very roomy and comfortable if I could say the only problem we have had is sometimes the gps has a hissy if. I would recommend the Mux

Looks good

published

Pulls a 19 foot caravan with ease. Good mileage on long trips. Low fuel useage and powerful engine. Exterier seems to mark and scratch easily could be the quality of the paint. Would recommend getting window tinting. There is an annoying blind spot behind the passenger seat where the air bag is.

Love Love Love my MUX

published

There is nothing about this vehicle that i do not like.
It is so great to drive the seats are comfortable and there is ample leg room.
The dash is easy to see and not to distracting.
Great fuel economy even around town and if you are on the highway it is exceptional.
Great for towing our caravan Loves driving in the sand and off road

Better than I expected

published

Drives brilliantly, tows very well with plenty of low down torque. Handled hard off road work easily with other 4x4's struggling (Mitsubishi Pajero & Toyota Fortuna). Interior very commercial and could be softened. Steering adjustment could be better (no reach adjustment) . I expected a more ute like drive but the softer coil rear suspension destroyed my expectations. The dealer and Isuzu follow up and customer care far exceeds what I have received from other makers in the past.

fuel economy

published

My 2014 MUX has been a pleasure to drive. I bought it when I first retired and have only just gone over 30,000kms.
Unfortunately the fuel consumption has increased after each of the last two services at the dealer recommended service centre in a northern Perth suburb.
After the last service I also noticed a whistling noise when taking my foot off the gas (without breaking). Also the digital fuel indicator seems to go from 190km range to 0km range.

Nagging faults

published

I did my checking and could not fault from other reviews. Vehicle ran ok for the first eight months. Nagging problems with fuel gauge jumping about and blue tooth not holding my phone but learnt to live with. Then the problems started, fuel sensor packed up dealer knew straight away what was wrong. Two weeks later had to be towed in again. This time, fingers crossed they found it, rusted wiring loom to the fuel rail. Took three weeks to get fixed. Two weeks after getting car back broke down again. Third time in eleven weeks, been off the road for four of those. Told its the same problem the new fuel sensor has failed. Fingers crossed it is now fixed.

Great car.

published

Solid car. Isuzu could improve sound system, suspension and the cheap looking dash. Fuel gauge is a bit funny as it jumps in 50's. Otherwise great can't fault anything else at 50,000km now. I will upgrade to the 2016/17 model soon since this one I bought in 2013 didn't come with keyless entry and ignition.

Plenty of research pays off

published

After some 6 months of research I picked up my mid spec mux LSU great to drive perhaps a tad noisy but fuel economy is brilliant I am averaging around 8l/ 100 around town and some highway..I had put on extras as it did not include a rear camera which is a must

Early days yet but actually enjoy driving it..greta space but doesn't feel as big
I drove Prado for a week and found it felt big as well but I thought why pay another $12k..

extremely happy

published

D Max lsm crew cab now 4 years old and cannot fault it. Initially a bit thirst but at 40000 kms now getting from 7.6 to 7.9 litres per 100 kms. Pull my 4.85 Sea Jay boat beautifully. Will definately buy another, maybe an MUX next time? If not an MUX will go for the LSU version, bit more bling. Very,very happy.

Is let down by the GPS

published

The car drives OK but when you pay $50+K for a car you expect a GPS that works. The one in the MUX LST has maps that are out of date and they want $150 for an update. Even then, you can only get maps that are at least 12 months out of date. Not acceptable to me.

Great multipurpose vehicle

published

Had Mu-x LST 6 months, very happy. No problems whatsoever. Tows 2100kg (240kg ball weight) caravan brilliantly without a weight distribution hitch, minimal rear sag. Fuel consumption under 9 l/100km around town, under 12 l/100km towing the van, amazing. Smooth, refined, ample power and torque. Could have a few more features such as auto headlights and wipers, radar cruise control, more passenger seat adjustment but still great value for Isuzu dependability when compared to Prado, Fortuner, Everest etc.

Polished monster

published

1 year now owning this bronze beauty. Solid car, good handling even for a petite 5 foot 2 lady like me (though does require a bit of scrambling up to get on the seat). More than ample space, kids love the in car entertainment system, powerful AC. Impressive off road ability. Few glitches initially with handbrake adjustment and alignment but rectified by dealer promptly. Hoping for many many years of faithful service.
