Isuzu MU-X

The Isuzu MU-X is a seven-seat ute-based SUV that shares its core engineering with the D-Max, giving it a strong reputation for towing, touring and family durability. It appeals to buyers who want the toughness of a ladder-frame four-wheel drive with more passenger comfort than a ute can offer. In Australia the MU-X competes with models such as the Ford Everest, Toyota Fortuner and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, with diesel power and available four-wheel drive central to its appeal. Its strengths are long-distance range, a practical cabin, towing ability and Isuzu's reliability image. It suits families who regularly travel, tow or head beyond sealed roads.

2026 Isuzu MU-X X-Terrain review

Isuzu's MU-X continues to prove why it's a strong seller, but we don't think it makes sense to spring for the top-spec X-Terrain.

Pros

Very comfortable on the move
Basic, functional interior
Serviceable third row

Cons

Under-equipped for a flagship
Rivals offer more equipment, performance
Minor safety tech quibbles

CarExpert Rating

Good

While the X-Terrain certainly doesn't compromise the MU-X formula, it's difficult to recommend when you consider its deficits in standard equipment compared to other similarly priced off-road SUVs.

This rating has been converted from our previous rating system. Read about our new review ratings.

Excellent

An outstanding car in almost every way. A joy to drive, packed with great features, and highly recommended.

Very Good

A well-rounded car that's enjoyable to drive, offers great value or features, and is easy to recommend.

Good

A solid choice that does most things well. Comfortable, capable, and worth considering in this segment.

Average

Meets the standard for this segment. May not stand out, but still a dependable and reasonable option.

Below Average

Falls a bit behind others in the segment, but still passes safety checks and may suit specific needs or budgets.

Pros

Very comfortable on the move
Basic, functional interior
Serviceable third row

Cons

Under-equipped for a flagship
Rivals offer more equipment, performance
Minor safety tech quibbles

2026 Isuzu MU-X review

The Isuzu MU-X large off-road SUV range has been joined by a new 2.2L turbo-diesel with an eight-speed auto. Is it worth saving money for?

2025 Isuzu MU-X X-Terrain review

This new range-topping seven-seat off-road SUV has a load of new tech and is better to drive than ever before.

2025 Isuzu MU-X review

Fresh looks, more equipment and a new X-Terrain flagship should make the facelifted 2025 Isuzu MU-X an even more popular large off-road SUV.

2025 Isuzu MU-X review

MU-X buyers can choose between two engines, two drive types and three trim levels, but the 1.9-litre 4x4 LS-U isn't the perfect permutation.

Jack Quick

2024 Isuzu MU-X 1.9L review

The new 1.9-litre turbo-diesel engine option for the MU-X is cheaper, lighter and more efficient – though it's slower and can't tow as much.

Matt Campbell

2024 Isuzu MU-X review

The entry-level MU-X offers plenty of good gear but feels a bit budget on the inside – should it be on your shortlist?

2023 Isuzu MU-X review

It's no longer the newest kid on the block, so has the Isuzu MU-X's appeal diminished with the arrival of a new-generation arch-rival?

James Wong

2022 Isuzu MU-X LS-U review

The mid-spec MU-X could well be the sweet spot in the range, offering a refined and well-featured package that doesn't break the bank.

2022 Isuzu MU-X Buyer's Guide

No longer is it just a rugged seven-seater family SUV that can go virtually anywhere. The new Isuzu MU-X now does it with the latest safety and infotainment technology while also upgrading its creature comforts and cabin luxuries to a new level.

2022 Isuzu MU-X review

The second-generation Isuzu MU-X is more capable and contemporary, and stacks up despite price increases.

Simon Christie

2020 Isuzu MU-X LS-T off-road review

The MU-X is a solid performer, taking the reasonable platform shared with the Holden Trailblazer and teaming it with a reliable engine and handsome looks.

Mike Costello

2020 Isuzu MU-X LS-T review

A new-generation Isuzu MU-X is around the corner, but the outgoing model still holds appeal for those after a no-nonsense family 4x4 or long-distance caravan-hauler. It's a solid cut-price Prado, in other words.
