    Cost of ownership

    What are the running and servicing costs of a Isuzu MU-X?

    The Isuzu MU-X has a recommended service interval of 12 months or 15,000 km, whichever comes first.

    How does the 2023 Isuzu MU-X drive?

    Our expert take on Isuzu MU-X drivability.

    Power in the 2023 Isuzu MU-X comes from the same 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine as the D-Max and Mazda BT-50 utes, making 140kW of power and 450Nm of torque.

    In 4×2 models, power is sent to the rear wheels exclusively through a six-speed automatic transmission.

    4×4 models add a switchable four-wheel drive with high- and low-range, along with a locking rear differential. It’s auto-only, like the 4×2 models.
