Let’s find out what Filipino drivers love about this 7-seat SUV from Isuzu.
1. Fuel economy
It goes without saying that one of the most outstanding features of the Isuzu MU-X is its fuel efficiency. According to some test runs, it can travel 9km per liter in city with an average speed of 16km/h and 15km per liter when driven on highway conditions. These numbers are quite impressive for a mid-size SUV which is able to fit up to 7 people and carry a considerable amount of luggage at the back.

2. Comfortable seats
The MU-X seats remain comfy even after a couple of hours on the road
We know you can’t agree more with this pleasing feature. Unlike its aggressive and sporty appearance, the Isuzu MU-X offers comfortable seats which still remains comfy to both driver and passengers even after a couple of hours on the road. The second row can fit three adults comfortably while the third row isn’t as big but it’s still good for two adults or three kids. Fancy one of these mid-size SUVs? Here on Philkotse, we have Isuzu Mu-X 2014 for sale at a very reasonable price.
3. Generous cargo space
When it comes to cargo flexibility, the 7-seater allows the third row seats to be folded flat when not in use so that it can release more space. This feature is particularly useful for weekend adventure or long range holiday travel which usually requires a decent room for luggage.

4. Smooth everyday ride
In spite of its big size, the vehicle is still able to pilot through traffic easily
The replacement of a ute’s leaf springs by a multilink coil suspension has added more improvements to the ride of the vehicle. It is quite a pleasant surprise that such car supposed to handle tough terrain can bring really smooth daily driving experience.
Poor road conditions such as potholes and cracked surface are no big problem to the MU-X. In spite of its big size, the vehicle is still able to pilot through traffic easily. This is why the Isuzu MU-X SUV is definitely an ideal choice for a driver who is looking for a reliable car that not only can accompany him or her through rough roads but also bring relaxing everyday ride.
5. Easy parking
Shorter wheelbase has made it a lot easier to drive the MU-X in small spots or parking lots, not to mention its big mirrors, reverse sensors and standard rear-view camera. In comparison with Trailblazer, the Isuzu MU-X has a lower nose, which also helps deliver more comfortable parking experiences to driver.

6. Respectable off-road performance
Isuzu MU-X is a capable off-roader
Although the engine is a bit noisy (which comes as no surprise for a diesel) and vibrational, it is still a capable off-roader. Powered by a 3.0L four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, high-clearance and rear-wheel drive, the Isuzu MU-X is truly a robust partner, particularly for difficult roads with obstacles such as big rocks or large humps. Its body is based on a ladder frame chassis supported by four-wheel driving fans, which plays as a steel skeleton allowing a good level of rigidity and torsional strength for the vehicle. Drive can be converted from two to four wheels with a high and low range.
7. Beautifully and smartly designed gauges
If you own or ever drive an Isuzu MU-X and happen to be a detail-oriented person, you would agree with us that the manufacturer has equipped it with beautifully and smartly designed gauges.
This is partly thanks to the LED backlight effect but mainly it is the spotlight shining on them at night that creates the illusion that the digits are carved in metal. It is also worth mentioning here the nice shade of red released from all the control lights when driven at nighttime.

8. Entertaining overhead-mounted 10-inch screen
A 10-inch screen mounted on the ceiling and a sound system two speakers in the roof are available as standard for the top-of-the-line variants
A 10-inch screen mounted on the ceiling and a great sound system two speakers in the roof (available as standard for the top-of-the-line variants) have given both the second and the third-row passengers a cinematic experience. Riders will find this feature especially entertaining during long trip or traffic congestion.
9. Reasonable price
The 7-seat SUV of Isuzu comes with a four wheel drive while most competitors can only offer a two wheel drive
Priced from P1,268,000 to P1,838,000, the brand-new Isuzu MU-X offers a lot more than what most of its rivals could do. At this price range, the 7-seat SUV of Isuzu comes with a four wheel drive while most competitors can only offer a two wheel drive. Not to mention those plus points listed above, the MU-X is indeed an appealing purchase to Filipinos motorists who are in search of a powerfully built vehicle to take them to places that only a serious off-road partner could handle.
