2022 Isuzu MU-X [2nd Generation]

[StockEngine]

Isuzu Philippines will probably cut back the number of airbags for this model from Thailand.

They have made 2 airbags as a safety standard after all.


Since 2015, Isuzu Philippines president is Hajime Koso.

Question is, will he change his company's dual SRS airbags policy?

[Lakwatsero]

For Thai market, only Mu-X Onyx 4x2 gets the 6 airbags. Rest of the range only gets dual SRS, even the 4x4 Blue Power. So same as ours as we don't have the Onyx.

Even for the all-new D-Max, dual SRS is still standard in Thai, with only the M grade getting 6 SRS. Thai market doesn't see safety as a top priority much like ours. Even Pajero Sport gets the same treatment with 4x4 having 7 SRS while 4x2 GT and GT premium has 2.

Meanwhile Australian Mu-X gets the 6 SRS as standard while all-new D-Max comes fully loaded with active safety features, even stereoscopic cameras for AEB and lane-keep function, to comply with ANCAP.

So our chance of getting world-class safety features is through government mandate or if market leader implements it and the rest follow the leader. We're seeing it with newer Toyota models getting 7 SRS, with TOTL getting safety sense. I think Thai Fortuner update also gets 7 SRS as standard, so we can expect ours to have the same.

a good read bro

I was looking at the new fortuner in thailand, meron pedestrian and cyclist detection and pre-collision warning. but the automatic emergency braking is still missing. it also features lane departure warning with steering assist. It will still sell well LOL

Bro I think Safety Sense is these three bundled together. Pre-Collision system is basically AEB, with pedestrian & object detection. Together with lane departure, radar cruise control.

I haven't seen TSS without AEB yet. Even our local Super Grandia and Altis Hybrid have those three with the TSS system.

Anyway, going back to the Mu-X, if the D-Max is any indication, we can expect a class-leading interior, its weakest point before. Then EPS and reach-adjustable steering which are vastly underrated ergonomics upgrades.

If we see the all-new D-Max this year locally, chances are a 2022 PH release if we base it on previous generation's timeline.

I double checked meron nga AEB yun PCS.

Isuzu will target the High selling Prado and Everest in Australia. This excites me the most.

They already did an excellent job with their Ranger/Hilux fighting Dmax.

With their Gen1-MUX design experience. Hopefully the 3rd row is improved more.

I think with all these information and feedback, they have an excellent product coming.

I'm not sure if this is verified information. but it seems Isuzu is stepping up in Thailand. they're standardizing stability control.

Sana IPC will follow suit, buyers don't have to spend the full amount just to have the added safety feats.

AU models get the full IDAS from base to X-Terrain. Sana kahit ESC/TC lang maretain sa Flexiqube or sa single cab/chassis models, and no brand new units without ABS please, 2020 na. [emoji25]

It’s confirmed: The all-new Isuzu MU-X is coming to PH | TopGear PH

[LancerA174A]

Knowing IPC, only the top spec variants will most likely get the full Intelligent Driver Assistance System, that's if they'll even bring those in pa since the D-MAX got a huge price increase in AU.

Hopefully IPC will ditch AVT and use their in-house infotainment unit this time for the all-new mu-X and D-MAX. It's about time both these hardworking trucks step up their game in safety, overall comfort and tech.

My screen mirroring module add-on suddenly stopped working after less than 2 years, that's on top of the supper buggy head unit. [emoji25]

didn't realize the safety suite is from Hitachi. aka Subaru Eyesight Gen 6?

Can't wait to see Isuzu rank with the Hilux and Rangers in australian sales news

That probably explains stereoscopic cameras. Much more advanced than the radar module only seen in Montero.

I think it's highly likely the D-Max can share the top spot in AU. It's already #1 in Thailand, the biggest 1-ton truck market in the world. I read a few months ago, the D-Max outsold all other trucks in Thailand combined.

2021 Isuzu Mu-X patent shots care of caradvice. Isuzu is taking the fight to Toyota with the new D-Max and now Mu-X.

Here's the write-up 221 Isuzu MU-X revealed in patent images | CarAdvice

If the current D-Max is any indication of size, expect this to be class-leading in width and interior room. Front clip looks awkward in patent shots imo, but let's reserve judgement til we see the actual unit.

....... Front clip looks awkward in patent shots imo, but let's reserve judgement til we see the actual unit.

Guys easy lang... Patent shots usually naka orthographic view kaya ang awkward ng proportions.... pag live angle (perspective) malapad na tignan ang front niyan


...now all i can say, yung D-pillar very fitting din for a Mazda, so if there would be a Mazda version of this, front facia and rear panels lang palitan pwede na. But much better if mas madaming panels ang papalitan to differentiate it further

That's why I mentioned we should reserve judgment til we see production units... Thanks for reiterating my point I guess? Lol

yup just reiterating what you've said

distorted kasi pag patent shots. Na judge madalas sa social media :D

C-pillar looks good. Tail light design and front fascia are a mehhh

[LancerA174A]

At first glance it really reminded me of the Toplander, lalo na sa D-pillar.

Medyo bland ang side profile but it would still fit Mazda's current line if they wanted a PPV.

Glad they're now increasing their stock rim size, parang 20s na.
