All New Isuzu MU-X // Alterra Next Generation

[Djerms]

where do we get this eu5?

unioil sells euro4 fuels.

Also why are you waiting till 2016? by 1st quarter of2015, we will be getting euro4 from petron.

Thanks for the correction. Yes unioil is eu 4. I think i got myself confused with eu5 engines not being brought in.

2016 is the deadline set by the government for all euro 4 fuels to be implemented. The wait is for isuzu to bring in their eu 4 compliant engines. If they will base it with petron's eu 4 launch earlier on 2015 then it will be good for us consumers. I still think its best for them to bring the new engines in after all fuel distributors comply with the new standard.

Reserved for a black 4x2 AT this morning 😄

Push start button is a nice feature provided one is not forgetful. Once I drove my friend's car with that feature. After I dropped her off and drove about 4 kms., I realized she had the keys. I had to turn around to get the keys, otherwise I wouldn't be able to start the car again.

Naka testdrive ako 4x2 a/t mu x last week.
Mu x is Slower than 4x2 a/t fort. I forgot to turn off ESC, so i dont know if would make any difference.
Shifting is smooth or is it because it wont rev hard.
Dont like the 70-80kph behavior ng fortuner maybe because 4 speed lang pero i ordered one also.
Mu x Suspension or ride is better.

Hi guys! I've been following this thread even before we got our unit last Saturday. Coming from an old Hi-Lander, the engine is really silent for an Isuzu. 80% siguro maririnig mo lang road noise. We're really impressed and it doesn't feel underpowered at all.

*Niky: I can't wait to read your review on TGP, sir.


*Djerms: Nag Fortuner na father mo, sir? Sayang! Baka pag nabasa mo ang review ni sir Niky next week ay manghinayang kayo.hehe


*LancerA174A: Welcome to Tsikot, sir! It is really a world of difference if you compare the engine of Hilander to the MU-X. It is way more refined, less vibration and noise and accelerates way quickier than the engine of yesteryears.

Iakyat mo sa matatarik na lugar, sir, then I-share mo dito para malaman ang capability ng MU-x sa steep climbs especially if it is fully loaded.

Thanks sir! We weren't able to do a test drive before and we had no idea how it drives. But as soon as we drove it off the dealer, na realize ko sulit pa rin even though IPC brought in the less powerful engine. May I ask, is it still necessary to "break in" the car even though our SA told us it's not needed? First time brand new car buyer po kasi, no experience pa.

Just don't "redline" it or drive it for extended periods of time at high revs. Also don't "boost" before the engine comes up to temperature. (With this motor... heavy pedal at 2,500 rpm and up) and don't boost for the last thirty seconds to one minute of any journey.

layman's term anyone?

Noted sir! But will it have an effect on the engine in the long run assuming we didn't follow these steps you mentioned?

that 19km/l is on the alterra as stated in the article

The new mux has improved fuel effiency. I'm guessing it will beat this 19km/l

I'm not an eco freak driver, but if this SUV can yield 10-11 city and 14-15 hiway, I'd be a very happy owner already!

Should I buy one, that is... ^^

Puwede, pero I'm sure hindi yan yung realistic figure. Mga 15-16km/ltr puwede pa.

Congrats for being one of the early birds Sir. Looking forward to read your comments/observation regarding FC and uphill power in the near future.

Thanks sir! When we got home, I drove it around for almost 2 hours. 90% city and 10% in highway just to see how it fares with overtaking. The highest I got was 11.4 Km/l at an average of 21Km/h speed.

Not really sure if it's frugal or not, as some say it will still change after the break in period.

Our highway has inclines too, and the next day we drove to Subic. It feels lighter than I expected and I need not to floor it in inclines compared to our Starex. A slight depress on the gas pedal is enough. :thumbup:
