The three-row all-terrain vehicle will have its appearance corrected, in addition, the model will have a “sportier” RS version. The technology is expected to remain the same.
The Isuzu MU-X frame SUV has been in its current generation since 2020; it is based on the Isuzu D-Max pickup truck. At the end of 2022, the passenger SUV was slightly refreshed, and last year a special version of the Phantom appeared in its production homeland — Thailand. In 2023, the sister truck D-Max was updated. So now it’s the turn of a full-fledged restyling of the MU-X: the Thai division of Isuzu has published the first teasers.
The footage shows two versions of the model. Apparently, this is a standard SUV and “sporty”, with the RS emblem. In general, there are new LED running lights in the headlights. The regular Isuzu MU-X will also get a different grille and front bumper. The MU-X RS will have an original mesh grille, and perhaps a slightly more aggressive body kit.

The interior is not illuminated yet. It is likely that the finishing materials inside will be changed. In addition, the all-terrain vehicle may be equipped with a new instrument panel and multimedia system tablet. Finally, the Isuzu MU-X may receive an improved set of electronic assistants.

But the engines of the reform are unlikely to be affected — at least the restyled D-Max pickup did not have any technical updates. In Thailand, both models are offered with 1.9 and 3.0 turbodiesels with 150 and 190 hp. respectively. The passenger SUV is available only with a six-speed automatic transmission, while the truck still has a manual transmission. Isuzu MU-X with a junior diesel engine comes exclusively with rear-wheel drive; for SUVs with a three-liter engine, all-wheel drive is provided.
