A sole image shown on autohome.com.cn, a Chinese automotive website has recently revealed some interior details of the Isuzu MU-X 2018 facelift. Looking at the teaser image, the updated MU-X comes with a horizontal theme and a brand new dashboard.
The Chinese-market MU-X will feature a fair amount of wood trim in the dashboard
The new dashboard located between the center air vents looks very much like a tablet and seems to be compatible with Apple CarPlay. The 3-spoke steering also gets redesigned while the round climate control knob of the ore-facelift version has been ditched for a more conventional design. The greater use of wood trim is another highlight of the new interior design.
Speaking of the appearance, we can’t tell from the leaked image if there is any change yet. However, prior to this, the D-Max-based SUV already received a facelift this year with a new bigger set of 18-inch alloy wheels, Bi-LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED tail lights, a more outstanding roof spoiler plus reprofiled front and rear bumpers for a far sharper shapes.
