Basta alam ko once Isuzu reaches their ROI they will bring in the 3.0 VGS to the Philippines, pero kailan? 136 hp 320 Nm is weak for a 2.5 diesel, VGS pa. Is it possible that the engines could reach 160 hp above but Isuzu is too lazy to change the hp and torque figures?

but according sa mga naka test drive na sir and first owner dto it does not feel weak or underpowered at all considering na 136 ps lang cia , pero much better nga kung ilalabas dn nila ung 3.0 vgs or ung 2.5 twin turbo dto hehe

he might find the J79 more to his liking..

[Syuryuken]

lahat underpowered para sa kanya

[HUMABOL KA]

dapat pala boeing 747 bilin nia ndi sasakyan hehe

[rna800]

Yes underpowered lagi ang bukang bibig niyan. Ang laki ng galit niya sa T badge na may 2.5L, ngayon nasa Isuzu thread na, lagot kayo.hehe

Next niyan ay iku compare na ang engine ng MU-X doon sa 1.6L.

[leodawesome]

^ Laki nga ng galit nya sa innova ng pinsan nya saka sa mga 2.5 diesel ng toyota, pati sa rear drum brakes na din. Sometimes being a picky consumer has its plus.

Because they intentionally designed the engine to be less stressed than others. Hindi naman nalalayo sa 2.5 VNT Fort right? Isuzu pa kaya na matagal na sa diesel engine industry. Sabi nila mataas daw demand for the 3.0 VGS sa ibang markets.

[HUMABOL KA]

kung hindi man nila madala dto ung 3.0 vgs sana ung 2.5 twin turbo na lang balita ko malakas dn to tinatapatan ung 2.0 bi turbo ng volkswagen amarok hehehe,wishful thinking lang naman hehe

James Deakin's opinion on the TB vs the MUx:

Question of the week: MUX or Trailblazer?
OCT 15 • BLOG, FEATURED • 1870 VIEWS • NO COMMENTS

As part of the relaunch of the new website, which will include a brand new ‘Ask James’ section, I will be featuring one question of the week from a reader and giving out special prize. This one comes from John Angelo Peralta Alcid, who asks:

“I would like to ask your opinion––which is better, the Chevrolet Trailblazer or the Isuzu MU-X? Since you drive a Trailblazer, how’s the performance and fuel consumption? My father is contemplating what to acquire between the two SUVs, which can you recommend?”

Hi John, seeing that this has been by far the most popular question I’ve had since Isuzu pulled the covers off the worst kept secret in the automotive industry, I’ve decided to make it my question of the week and answer it publicly to give my inbox some breathing room. So congratulations, you win a BMW i8! (scale model)

There’s really not much of a dilemma here for me, so I’ll get straight to the point. Hands down, the Trailblazer is better than the MUX everyday and twice on Sundays. Try and imagine 136hp trying to carry that huge chassis. It’s like child labor. Why on earth they chose to do that even has Google stumped. But even if Isuzu brought in the 3.0, 174hp engines, they still run a 5-speed rather than the Chevy’s six speed.

Personally, I find it very disappointing. Save for the D-Max (which also runs the old engine) Isuzu hasn’t had a new product since Moses played point guard for Jerusalem; and now that they have the opportunity to impress us with an all-new platform (which was developed by GM&Chevrolet) they shove in old engines and 5-speed gearboxes in them––which is like taking a shower, and then wearing your dirty clothes again.

Forgive me if that sounds a bit harsh; but so is asking more money for your top of the line version than the LTZ Trailblazer. No matter how many DVD players or GPS systems you throw in.

In the end, I’m sure it is not a bad vehicle. But it’s no Trailblazer, Montero or Fortuner. In fact, with these prices and power trains, the only variant that makes sense to me is the base model; at 1,188M it makes a perfect upgrade from a Sportivo.

its a big possibility that Mu-X is lighter than the TBZ... this factor alone kahit mas mababa ang horsepower ng Mu-X it wont feel under powered.

[frostmourn]

I just saw in thailand forum the new isuzu dmax(looks like an x series to me).

Yes sir mas mabigat ng at least 100-200 kg ang tbz kesa mux, thats why cguro halos wala dn pinagkaiba sa performance ung 2.8 duramax vs 3.0 vgs and pagtitignan mo ung gear ratios mas higher ung mux from 1st-5th gear,may 6th gear lang c tbz which is dun cia lumamang pero for lower rpm purposes and mas relax ang makina pag nag cucruise ka sa hiway.

[mikmik316]

Sa mga TBZ fans na puro horsepower ang hanap, go buy your beloved TBZ... Do not flood this thread with the horsepower issue...
I would rather see MU-X pros now given you have already highlighted the single con: horsepower, mahina hatak, etc. etc.

[Syuryuken]

asa pa kayo underpowered din yan, yung lalabas na everest underpowered din di ba InternalCombust?

[glenn manikis]

hindi purkit mas malakas ang engine eh underpowered na yung isa...

On normal driving conditions, Wala sa hp yan... Nasa diskarte ng driver yan... Pero may advantage pa din ang mas mataas na hp..

[Djerms]

Based on experience, having owned a 176hp pickup, a 197hp and 170+ hp korean suvs, a 140+ hp american pickup....ewan ko lang bakit mas happy ako sa 144hp 3.0 dmax ko. I just find it more driveable and more solid. So yes its not all HP. Remember, most isuzu buyers are loyal to the brand. I think theres a good reason behind that loyalty.

wait wait

hayz mga basher

tbz, fort, monty owner here(everest and altera lang wala)

huwag ng patulan ang mga bashers

balak ko din bumili ng mu x pamalit ng trooper(pang harabas) - everest sana kaso mukhang may problem pa yung turbo(ranger series) -

at pagkakaalam ko ewan ko lang- ay iba ang measurement method ng chev and isuzu? and the isuzu engine though old is tweaked
-> real question is kung future proof ang mu x engine(kasi bullet proof na itong old engine) to take euro 4 onwards- on my opinion yes kasi mas refined lang naman ang euro 4 standards or kailangan pa ng mga addetives or tweaking sa fuel system para suave ang takbo??? - that is the real question.
