MU-X
new look MU-X is here!
The New Look MU-X is for anyone who craves adventure, whether it's the open road, boat ramp, school run or remote areas of New Zealand.
This isn't just any normal SUV. This is a machine built to conquer whatever you throw at it, with a tougher look to match. We're talking a redesigned front end that says "I mean business," from the imposing grille to the sharp LED headlights.
Inside, the upgrades are all about comfort for the long haul without sacrificing that rugged feel. Think premium materials and a tech upgrade that'll keep you connected wherever the road (or lack thereof) takes you. All with the same 3L turbo-diesel engine, 7-seats and 3,500kg braked towing you'd expect.
Ready to conquer the next peak? Register your interest here and experience the New Look MU-X firsthand at your local dealer. It's time to ditch the tarmac and get back to real adventure.

Alloys
Powerful-looking alloy wheels adorn the New Look MU-X, ensuring that you will stop traffic next time you are in town. These are combined with Highway-Terrain (HT) tyres for solid road holding in all situations. (LS-T 20" wheels shown).
Side steps
Durable alloy side steps provide excellent ease of entry and exit into the New Look MU-X.
LED headlights
The New Look MU-X is equipped with powerful and durable LED headlights for excellent visibility under all conditions. These are combined with LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) for added safety whilst out on the open road.
LED tail lights
Ultra-bright and long-lasting LED tail lights on the New Look MU-X provide excellent visibility in all conditions for added peace-of-mind.
The interior
Occupant and driver convenience has been greatly improved in the New Look MU-X. An abundance of thoughtful comfort and technology features complete the interior giving it a striking sense of design and function.
Design
Just like the D-MAX, the New Look MU-X interior takes inspiration from airplane cockpits. This means that control ergonomics, occupant comfort, material quality & durability, and driver visibility are key priorities. Jump into the New Look MU-X and see for yourself how the design has come to life.
Comfort
The New Look MU-X has 3 rows of seating to give a total of 7 seats. The front seats are bucket whiplash protected seats with electric adjustment and a heating feature for those chilly mornings. The split-fold rear seats feature a foldable centre armrest and 2 USB Type C ports. Double sealed doors and an excess of soundproofing makes the New Look MU-X a peaceful and relaxing ride.
Storage
The New Look MU-X has cup holders in all 3 rows, a 12v 120-watt power socket and 4 USB Type C ports in total. The upper center console storage, under steering wheel storage, deep door pockets, and seatback pockets provide storage solutions for those easily misplaced but much-needed items. Still need more space? Fold-down the rear seats, or make use of the roof rails which come as standard on the New Look MU-X

Terrain command
The terrain command dial in the New Look MU-X allows you to shift between 2WD and 4WD Hi mode on the move (up to 100km/h) for improved traction when driving conditions change.
3,500kg towing ability
Your search for the perfect traveling companion is over. The New Look MU-X can seat up to 7 people, and tow up to 3,500kg. Isuzu’s legendary 3-litre turbo diesel engine delivers high torque across the range, making light work of a caravan, boat, or trailer. Trailer Sway Control (TSC) assists with towing in high winds or on uneven surfaces.
Off-road performance
The New Look MU-X go-anywhere ability provides you with a 7-seater SUV that is as at home up in the backcountry hills as it is out on State Highway One. Wading depth is 800mm for those extra deep crossings, and the New Look MU-X includes a rear differential lock for improved traction on slippery surfaces. For on-road excursions, there is a range of electronic driving aids to keep you on the straight and narrow.
6-speed transmission
Whether the Isuzu New Look MU-X is used for work or play, its 6-speed automatic transmission offers ease of operation while providing vehicle driveability and flexibility.
Hill descent control
This feature electronically applies the brakes to ensure a smooth, controlled descent, giving you the confidence to tackle the trickiest downhill terrain.

The New Look MU-X brings an entire new level of technology. As standard, the New Look MU-X has a 9.0" touchscreen with inbuilt satellite navigation, 360 surround view camera system, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto phone mirroring capability - allowing you to project sat nav directions, play your music, make and receive calls and more. For the owner that spends plenty of time on the open road, the New Look MU-X also includes adaptive cruise control which automatically adjusts your speed depending on the vehicle in front of you.
safety
Standard across the range, Isuzu’s Intelligent Driver Assistance System (IDAS) technology includes an extensive list of both active and passive safety systems. Employing state-of-the-art sensors and a stereo camera, IDAS constantly monitors your surrounding environment for danger. Should it detect a collision is imminent, the system will work to help the driver to defuse dangerous situations via alert systems and automated functions. Each New Look MU-X model includes eight airbags as standard and a stronger, more robust chassis, as well as a reinforced cabin safety cell for ultimate protection.
And to prove its credentials, the New Look MU-X has achieved a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. The New Look MU-X is there to look after you - no matter the situation.

Mis-Acceleration Mitigation
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
Lane Keeping Assist System
Blind Spot Monitoring System (BSM)
Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control
Automatically adjusts your speed based on vehicles around you when cruise-control is activated making open road driving a breeze.
Driver Attention Assist (DAA)
Your New Look MU-X recognises traffic signs, displaying information such as speed limits in the Multi-Information Display (MID) for easy reference.
Mis-Acceleration Mitigation
In slow-moving areas such as car parks, the stereo cameras determine whether the accelerator has been applied accidentally. Should a potential collision be detected, the brakes are automatically applied.
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
If your New Look MU-X detects a potential collision, your New Look MU-X will first apply a Forward Collision Warning (FCW), then emergency braking is applied automatically, keeping you and others safe out on the road.
Lane Keeping Assist System
Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) work to help prevent collisions with other drivers should your New Look MU-X begin to drift across its lane.
Blind Spot Monitoring System (BSM)
BSM provides a visual warning in your side mirrors when an obstacle is approaching in your blind spot. A must-have safety feature when out on the open road.
passive safety technology
Careful attention to detail allows Isuzu to deliver higher levels of passive safety features. Safety features like multiple airbags, parking sensors, a reversing camera and automatic lights/wipers provide peace of mind in all situations.
