2026 Isuzu MU-X Price, Specs and Range

What is it?

The MU-X is Isuzu's body-on-frame 7-seat 4WD wagon, built on the same ladder chassis as the D-Max ute. The MY25.5 update added a new 1.9L turbo diesel option alongside the familiar 3.0L, with a refreshed 10.1-inch infotainment screen.

The lineup runs from LS-M 1.9 4x2 at $47,400 plus on-roads, through to LS-T 3.0 4x4 at $67,500 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 6 years, 150,000 km.

Interior and Technology

3,500 kg braked tow standard across the range with body-on-frame ladder chassis, low range and a rear diff lock on the LS-T. 6-year warranty sits above the segment 5-year norm.

1.9L 4-cylinder is noisier and slower than the 3.0L under load. Cabin plastics feel utilitarian against Sorento and Santa Fe.

The CarTell take

We have not driven this yet. On paper, here is how it stacks up.

Strongest suit on paper: 3,500 kg braked tow standard across the range with body-on-frame ladder chassis, low range and a rear diff lock on the LS-T. 6-year warranty sits above the segment 5-year norm.
The trade-off: 1.9L 4-cylinder is noisier and slower than the 3.0L under load. Cabin plastics feel utilitarian against Sorento and Santa Fe.
Check before you buy: LS-T flagship at $67,500 plus on-roads pushes into LandCruiser Prado GX territory. Cross-shop the Prado if cabin refinement matters.
Best suited to: Tow rigs, off-roaders, big families and tradies. 7 seats are standard, 3,500 kg braked tow runs across the range, and the body-on-frame ladder chassis with low range makes it genuinely capable off road.
