All New Isuzu MU-X // Alterra Next Generation

[dkaye]

Guys, pa-help naman. Napansin ko lately na kapag nagb-brake ako may kumakalampag sa likod na parang nabangga ang pakiramdam. Ano po kaya problema ng mu-x ko?

Di pumapayag ang casa na magdala ka ng sariling oil. AFAIK

Hi to everyone. Meron ba gumagamit ng ZIC X7 10w-40 na engine oil sa inyo? Any recommended brand ng engine oil? Tnx

I find zic to be bang for the buck. It performs well too from at least seat of the pants feel. Though i only have tried 5w-30 sa 2012 montero

Mas tahimik makina ng fortuner at montero kaysa sa mux natin ganun din ba sa pang dinig nyo.

Agree po ako lalo na if we are referring to the newest fort and montero. I can compare kasi i daily drive a 2015 fortuner my wife a 2012 montero gls-v. On several occasions i get to drive my mother's 2016 fort and from an NVH standpoint malaki difference. A tito has a 2015 mu-x 2.5 i would say it is comparable to the previous fort if albeit barely less noisy siguro

Hello,

I'm planning to get an SUV next year and considering MUX 3.0. I have some questions lang sa mga owners if your could help me. Thanks in advance.

1. Underpowered? Is this still an issue with 3.0 model or sa old models lang sya?
2. Maingay or matagtag? Maingay po ba talaga at gaano kaingay?
3. Mausok po ba?

Hindi po sya underpowered. Pero mas malakas sa kanya ang mga 2016 Models ng Fort, Montero, Everest, and Trailblazer. Hindi rin po sya mausok. Car-like ang ride nya. Tadtad ng safety features para sa 3.0L 4X2 MU-X. Great value for money.

Isuzu MU-X
Real World Adventure

Introducing the ALL-New Isuzu MU-X. A true family-sized SUV that redefines the boundaries of adventure. Whether you're navigating peak-hour on the weekday school run or traversing whatever the wildest weekend can throw at you, the All-New Isuzu MU-X has you covered for the routine, extreme, and everything in between.

Enjoy a passenger car-like driving experience you have come to expect from today's modern SUV's, but with a bulletproof 4WD drivetrain mated to one of the world's most robust diesel engines, the All-New Isuzu MU-X will also deliver you the opportunity to test your off-road ability like never before.

The All-New Isuzu MU-X – Ready when you are.

Exterior Design Styling
Borrowing styling cues from its D-MAX cousin, the All-New Isuzu MU-X strikes a commanding stance thanks to its wedge-shaped facia and muscular flared wheel arches. Flowing lines create a balanced profile that is at home in the city as it is the bush. Available in three different spec levels, there's an Isuzu MU-X that not only looks the part, but is appropriately designed with all the features required to suit any driving purpose.

Real-World Performance
Behind the style, there's plenty of substance. With 3 tonne towing (braked) available on both 4x2 and 4x4 variants, the All-New Isuzu MU-X never knocks back hard work. Be it towing a boat, caravan, horse float or trailer, the MU-X does it effortlessly and with confidence - thanks to the ingenious Isuzu technology and Japanese engineering under the bonnet.

The 3.0L Isuzu 4JJ1-TC Hi-Power diesel engine delivers 130kW of power and 380Nm of torque. A high-pressure common-rail fuel injection system makes the most of every drop of fuel, and the intercooled VGS (Variable Geometry System) turbocharger provides excellent response over the engine's entire rev range.

Proven in a range of testing environments, each component of the MU-X's engine has been crafted to reduce fuel consumption and emissions as well as decrease wear and maintenance to ensure years of trouble-free motoring.

The MU-X's automatic transmission with sequential sports mode is electronically controlled by the transmission control module (TCM) and features an adaptive-learning function which constantly monitors brake and throttle applications. This allows the transmission to automatically select the most appropriate shift points and lock-up points depending on the driver's behaviour, the vehicle speed and the vehicle load. The auto also has 'Hill Descent' and 'Hill-Ascent' modes.

Exceptional Fuel Economy
From one of the world's leading manufacturers of diesel technology, the impressive Isuzu 3.0 litre turbo-diesel engine that powers the All-New Isuzu MU-X is as frugal as it is athletic. Delivering plenty of power and torque, this stirring powerplant produces equally amazing fuel economy of just 8.2* litres per 100 km. * Combined ADR 81/02 Fuel Consumption Value 4x2 LS-M & LS-U Automatic

The All-New Isuzu MU-X is a stickler on fuel thanks to three core engine characteristics – low down torque from 1,800rpm through to 2,800rpm provides optimum performance and fuel efficiency, while the MU-X's Variable Geometry System (VGS) turbocharger alters the direction of exhaust flow to optimise turbine response at low engine rpm to overcome 'turbo lag'. Overseeing the fuel delivery is the MU-X's Common-rail High Pressure Fuel System which uses the latest in fuel injector and high pressure fuel rail technology to effectively minimise the amount of fuel in the combustion process, providing superior fuel economy.

In addition, automatic versions of the MU-X also benefit from the intelligent 'grade-logic' transmission which keeps the MU-X in the correct gear preventing over-revving and unnecessary fuel burn.

Serious Off Road Ability

The All-New Isuzu MU-X delivers real-world off road capability.
All 4x4 MU-X versions are fitted with the rugged off-road protection you need when roughing it. There's a front steel plate skid/splash shield as well as steel plate guards to protect the sump and transfer case. Add to this a tried and tested 4x4 drivetrain managed by an intelligent Traction Control System (TCS) with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), along with substantial 230mm ground-clearance*, and generous 30.1° approach and 25.1° departure angles*. *LS-U & LS-T models

In addition, clever engineering ensures there are no low-slung components – the front lower control arms don't hang too low, and the air intake is hidden within the front fender. In the engine bay, the ECU isn't exposed, and the alternator sits up nice and high. Basically, these features mean that Isuzu have protected all the vulnerable parts and a bit of mud isn't going to seize your alternator.

All 4x4 MU-X models are also equipped with Isuzu's super-easy to use "Terrain command" 4WD select dial (2-high, 4-high and 4-low range) and auto versions are fitted with hill-ascent and descent control.

Amazing Space & Comfort
Cloaked behind the sleek exterior lines of the All-New Isuzu MU-X lies a smartly designed interior that creates a wealth of space for all of the family – and then some. There's room for a team of seven to travel safely, securely and in comfort. Wide door arches make access for all passengers a breeze, and when exploring your sense of adventure off road, there's strategically placed assist grips to help keep you grounded.

A new seat design with 'wrap-around' bolsters provide increased shoulder, back and base support delivering more comfort for occupants and all seats in all MU-X models have adjustable headrests. Clever split/fold rear seats in both the second and third rows mean that no matter what seating configuration you choose, the versatile interior will provide plenty of head, leg and shoulder room.

Smooth Ride & Handling
Car-like ride and handling both on and off road is provided by a new suspension geometry custom designed for the MU-X. Front independent double wishbone suspension with coil springs, gas shocks and stabiliser bar allows the driver positive feedback and steering control regardless of the terrain underfoot, and a rear five-link suspension configuration also with coil springs, stabiliser bar and gas shocks provide superior stability when traversing off road or towing.

Designed for Family
A premium audio system with 6 speakers, iPod® and Bluetooth® phone connectivity is standard across the MU-X range, while the top of the range LS-T provides an unparalleled entertainment experience with Isuzu's "Sky Sound" roof-mounted sound system and 10" DVD monitor for rear seat passengers. Along with Bluetooth® audio streaming, the LS-T also features a touch-screen satellite navigation system with live traffic updates and over 10,000 off-road destinations.

In addition to the fun there's also a practical side to the All-New MU-X's interior. There's an abundance of clever storage compartments and with the second and third row seats ability to fold down, there's also an overly generous cargo area. Oh and did we mention cup holders? – the design engineers have managed to fit 14 of them in to ensure refreshments are always at hand!

1. We have a 2014 2.5 A/T, more than enough na, paano pa yung 3.0.
2. Maingay? Compared sa mga new PPVs, medyo. Matagtag? Haven't tried others pero balanced daw. Pero medyo wallowy lalo na pag nadaan sa humps.
3. Hindi din, pag hard acceleration lang minsan nakakakita ng black smoke pero nawawala naman agad.

Yung underpowered misconception sa power/torque produced per displaced unit kasi. Kung icompare mo sa ibang ppv, very similar ang output ng Isuzu pero mas malaki nga lang ang makina.

Just to put into perspective:
3.0L Isuzu Mu-X 163ps/380Nm
2.2L Ford Everest 160ps/385Nm
2.4L Toyota Fortuner 150ps/400Nm
2.4L Mitsubishi Montero 181ps/430Nm

Montero medyo mataas pero peaky kasi engine nito and hindi linear sa rev range.

Pwede naman taasan ng Isuzu output ng unit nila, at the expense of reliability. Btw, B10 rated din pala 4JJ1 ng Mu-X/D-Max. Test drive mo na lang para makita difference.
