All New Isuzu MU-X // Alterra Next Generation

[GTi]

Considering that the Alterra uses the exact same body as the Trailblazer and Trailblazer reviews mostly agree on the cramped rear, I really don't see how they're gonna improve 3rd row space unless they make the seats even thinner and/or decrease 2nd row legroom. Either way it definitely ain't gonna replicate the space produced by a pickup-sized 3050mm wheelbase.

According to GoAuto.com.au, Isuzu claims that the 4JJ1 is good for a >=500000kms expected life cycle. I wonder...

Impressive reviews but we have to wait for the specs of the Philippine market Alterra. If Isuzu sticks to the strategy they employed on the D-Max, good luck in enticing buyers.

It has the same leg room since they have the same wheel base. And by the way, those reviews are made by Australian websites and the location of the reviews are in Thailand. On the proving grounds of Isuzu Thailand. Just to clarify.

Below I think Isuzu cleaned up the leg area...I don't know but its a small change. It should be good.

Still the same IMO. It just looks like what you said because the new Alterra has grayish black leather seats.

I see... No knees up position then.

StockEngine, wag kana makulit. I own and drive a Trailblazer so I know what I'm talking about. Both the new Alterra and the Trailblazer have no knees up position at the 3rd row. Ilang beses na ako umupo sa 3rd row ng TB namin for many hours, I didn't have a knees up position. I have a height of 5"6.

I'm not GTi po.

I'm seeing differences. The Isuzu MU-X is not an exact copy of the TBZ like what you try to imply

and I certainly didn't mention anything about knees up...til now.

The only differences I can see clearly are the instrument cluster, the font colors of the Auto Climate Control A/C, the color of the leather seats, the tail lights, the engine, the transmission, the antenna, the DRL and the grille that also includes tge head lamps. Aside from that, nada.

That may be because you're 5"6. You wouldn't have problems with most SUV 3rd rows. I'm around 5"11, and have issues with just about every front-facing 3rd row I've tried other than a van's. That makes things a bit different.

My uncle is a 6 footer, he's shopping around for a new 7 seater SUV nowadays. Big consideration to him is the leg room of the 3rd row. He rode shotgun with me 2 weeks ago on the TB and 4 weeks ago on the Monty. He sat on the 3rd row of both my SUVs. He told me that on the TB he didn't had a knees up position unlike on the Monty.

I don't get why StockEngine would insist that there is a slight difference on the 3rd row leg room of the TB and the new Alterra even though the 2 SUVs share the same platform and the same interior, exterior and wheelbase dimensions. In order for the Alterra to have a slightly better 3rd row leg room, the 3rd row seats should be a bit more elevated on the Alterra than the TB.

I have the current (Old) generation Alterra, 2011, and the second row seats can be slid fore and aft, therefore greatly affecting the legroom of the third row.

Is this feature not on the new Trailblazer/Alterra?

Ciao!

There's none on the Trailblazer and it remains to be seen on the new Alterra if it has

I get you bro. And I think I know what StockEngine is referring to. If you look closely at the pictures comparing the Trailblazer and Alterra 3rd rows, you'd notice that the Trailblazer's seems to be rather uneven (malubak) while the Alterra's looks quite flattened or ironed out. I wonder how big the difference will be though. And then again, if the Alterra's seats are indeed more elevated, that would mean even lesser headroom...

Sana sa 2015 pa lumabas yung new alterra na to, para sakto tapos ng hulugan,makakapag labas ako nito,, unang kita ko pa lang type ko itong new Alterra, in my opinion ang gwapo at macho niya talaga. Kaya para sa akin kahit hindi siya naka vgs ayus lang ang habol ko sa kanya looks , at isuzu naman ^. ^
