The MU-X is the family 4WD that the Australian market has been quietly buying in big numbers for years. The 2025 update brings sharper styling and a smarter safety pack while keeping the bones that earned the MU-X its reputation: real ladder-frame underpinnings, a 3.0 L turbo diesel, and a 3.5 tonne tow rating.
What you are buying
The LS-T is the top spec, with leather, the bigger touchscreen, the upgraded driver assistance pack, and the styling tweaks that bring the MU-X visually closer to the D-Max it shares its platform with. Three rows of seats, proper ground clearance, and Isuzu's no-fuss low-range 4WD system.
Cartell Assessment
If you actually use the family 4WD for what it says on the tin (towing the boat, taking the family up the bush, sealed-and-unsealed touring), the MU-X earns its keep. It is not the most refined seven-seater in the segment but it is one of the most honest, and the Isuzu service network is everywhere.
AU Outlook
MU-X LS-T pricing sits under $70k drive-away, which is the headline of the update. Cross-shop is the Toyota Fortuner Crusade and the Ford Everest Sport. Verify exact drive-away with the Isuzu dealer build and price tool.
