All New Isuzu MU-X // Alterra Next Generation

[Djerms]

Sir meaning hindi naman po sobrang laking difference ng performance with or without the chip?

Malaki ang difference since kapag naka chip, lightly depressing the fuel pedal will do. Ang bilis din kung talagang isasagad, but it kinda makes it uncomfortable at times due to too much power and you come to realize you really don't need that much in an suv. The Mux has good power delivery, more than you will need most of the time. I keep asking myself, do i really need this much power, i think not.

What's that chip about and where is it installed sir ?

I see, most of the time nga sir I think the power is just right. Siguro kasi nga linear yung delivery.

Anyway, is it true that hindi advisable every 10K PMS sa Isuzu even if you use high end synthetic oils? May nagbanggit lang sakin kasi. Medyo hassle kasi pag every 5K. Sa Navara catalog normal driving every 20K pa yata. Or it depends on the engine's design? :what:

Re power, hindi naman kasi talaga natin kailangan ng sobrang power. Yung mga nagsasabi na for overtaking daw at delikado ang underpowered rig, it doesnt mean na hindi kaya umovertake ng 320nm vehicle vs the 500nm vehicle. Sa 500nm baka less pedal pressure vs the 320nm but both can overtake without any problems. Ang tanong, hindi kaya OA naman ang 500nm sa overtaking? Lol.

A 320nm is obviously less powerfull than a 500nm rig but that doesnt mean its underpowered.

I make it a point to change my oils every 5k kahit na dealer insists of a 10k interval (not sure with isuzu). The cleaner the oil, the less sludging in the engine and other parts kasi.

Kaya nga eh, I don't understand why the mu-X gets all the hate when they only read paper specs. Siguro I'd understand if it was the TOTL, yun talaga overpriced na knowing na dapat 3.0 na nakalagay dun.

So ibig sabihin po pala ok lang na mineral lang ilagay since every 5K naman ang recommended changeoil. Nakakapagtaka lang sa iba ok lang matagal interval when Isuzu advertises its engines to have longer maintenance intervals din kasi they're built for unfavorable conditions parang sa mga remote areas. Just read that yesterday din sa Isuzu NA site.

I agree boss, i own an LS-a variant and I am very satisfied with its overall performance. It does not necessarily follow that Just because the competitors have 187 to 200 hp in their stable, under powered na agad ang mu-x. By itself, the mu-x, - this is based also on the reviews- can stand on its own, it can perform and serves its purpose - a family oriented suv with decent power when needed. well, just my two cents..

Does anyone know the wading depth of the mux? Same as the chevrolet trailblazer 800mm?

600mm officially (700mm is doable though)

After one week of waiting, finally brought home my 4x2 LSA Pearl White at napasabak na agad kanina sa Macapagal Off-road Track! Initial impressions, di naman sya under powered. Comparable to the pull of Fortuner VNT. Ok na ok ang aircon. Downside, compared to other modern vehicles, medyo boring ang kanyang MID. I was in Surat Thani province Thailand last weekend and Isuzu Mux and Dmax out numbered the other brands on the road. May nakita akong blacked out headlight ng White MuX, lalong naging macho tignan. Got the unit from Isuzu Rizal through BPI.

These thai's are the smartest buyers in the world. They know whats gonna come out because of these factory workers. hahahah

Last month Toyota Thailand sales were Nuts.

2 to 1 ang sales ng Toyota Hilux(Revo)/Fortuner(Legend) versus Isuzu D-max/Mu-x. It will take time(6-12months) before Toyota will outnumber the Isuzu vehicles in Thailand.

Some Thai's are waiting for the new Dmax/Mu-x engine that will arrive 2016/2017.

So you have the fortuner VNT too? Feeling mas malakas lang ang fortuner kasi 4 gears lang siya but when you look at the speedo and how the Mu-x accelerates, pareho lang eh. I therefore conclude that the Mu-x accelerates and shifts smoother having a 5 speed. Congrats on your purchase and enjoy.

Yes sir, we have the VNT too, actually sa parents ko yung VNT.

well said sir, as an LS-A owner myself, i can say that it is not under powered. To date, i am really satisfied with its overall performance. I am using it everyday, taking 90kms daily on pure highway driving, the power is there when needed especially in overtaking from 90km to 100kmh, said car can truly deliver and perform. well, it does not necessarily follow that just because the competitors have 187 to 200 hp powered vehicles, under powered na agad ang 134hp dati nung pre VNT fort palang, i think 107hp lang? and yet..fortuners are lording over the philippine highways. but this is just me..to each his own

[HUMABOL KA]

the power delivery of the mux is given in a smooth and linear manner kaya cguro cnasabi ng iba na underpowered cia pero in reality hindi nga nagkakaiba sa fortuner vnt actually sa indonesia may test cla ng 0-100 ng both cars were tested from 0-100 km/h the mux recorded 13.1 seconds while the fortuner vnt had it for 12.45 secs so there's really no signicant difference.

2.5 vnt pero ayon na rin sa mga reviews sa south africa halos same lang ang 0-100 accelration ng 3.0 vnt sa 2.5 vnt kung may difference mga .3 lang hehe

ah good info. iba talaga yun 3.0vgs heheheh 2nd lng sa chevrolet. hope it arrives soon

[HUMABOL KA]

ah good info. iba talaga yun 3.0vgs heheheh 2nd lng sa chevrolet. hope it arrives soon

yup sir hehe, sa australia tinest nila ung 0-100 ng 3.0 vgs it recorded 10.6 secs but in my own estimation i think it was around 9.9 secs

i've posted this video before but just in case you want to see the actual test here it is hehe

Maybe by the time na i-phase out na 3.0 to make way for the 2.5 bi-turbo satin nanaman dalhin mga natira... Ano kaya nangyari sa D-Max test unit na may revised instrument cluster with 2.0 turbo diesel daw na equal sa current 2.5 VGS, sana ilabas na soon para di naman laging napapagkamalang huli ang Isuzu.

[GTi]

Wow, ang bilis naman ng 0-100 ng mga yan especially considering yung hp rating nila. Anong klaseng launch kaya yan?
