Production Models

In this week's Car Review, we have the 2019 Isuzu mu-X, a car that has a modern and tough design, a fuel-efficient engine, and reliable features. Know more about it here. Watch this.

Under the hood of the Isuzu mu-X RZ4E is a new 1.9-liter, 4-cylinder in-line Blue Power turbo diesel engine that is capable of producing 150 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque. These figures are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Sequential.

The suspension set up is made of Independent Double Wishbone with Coil Spring and Stabilizer at the front and at the back is equipped with Five-link Coil Spring and Stabilizer Bar. For the brakes, the variant we have here comes with four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, so there's no worry putting the car at a stop without a fuss.

Let's go to the mu-X's exterior features.

At a glance, it's worth noting that the mu-X comes with an aggressive and modern design. The grille houses a set of angular Bi-LED Headlamps with Auto Leveling Function and DRL, giving the front fascia of the mu-X that tough touch. Meanwhile, the rear is highlighted by a pair of Horizontal Rear Combi Lamp with LED Positioning Lamp. The whole look of the mu-X is completed by these 18-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels.

Inside, it looks as modern as the outside. It's evident that Isuzu has slightly tweaked some details. Aside from the new colors and materials, these new Blue Ambient Lamps on the door panels allow the car to be cozy for passengers. Also, for a seven-seater, the mu-X has ample space for everybody to move comfortably. For the seats, our model here is equipped with Bucket Seats with back pockets and adjustable headrest in the first row. Meanwhile in the second row, it comes with a 60/40 split folding bench type with center armrest and three-adjustable headrests. Third row gets a 50/50 split folding bench type with two-adjustable headrests.

At the heart of the mu-X's interior is the infotainment system. Comes equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen display that is available with CD, DVD, Aux-in, USB, MP3, and Bluetooth connectivity, entertainment is not a problem when aboard the mu-X. Moreover, audio is enjoyable courtesy of 6 speakers. There's also a 10-inch Roof Mounted Monitor with Remote Control for the passengers at the back.

When it comes to safety and security, the mu-X has features that cater exactly to that department. It's equipped with the standard features such as the anti-lock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution, anti-theft alarm system, reverse camera and rear view mirror, and reverse sensing system, among others.

On top of that, the mu-X also comes with features that focus on added convenience for the driver and passengers.

That was the 2019 Isuzu mu-X, complete with an engine and other powerful features that ensure a good drive. That's it for our Car Review this week.
