As part of 5secure, Isuzu is offering a 5-year / 1,50,000 km comprehensive warranty over and above the standard warranty of 3 years / 1,00,000 km.

Isuzu MU-X: Prices slashed by Rs. 1.5 lakh due to GST reforms

Isuzu has passed on benefits of the upcoming GST tax reforms to customers by slashing prices of the MU-X by Rs. 1.5 lakh. Post this price cut, the SUV will be priced at Rs. 22.4 lakh for the 4x2 AT trim and Rs. 24.4 lakh for the 4x4 AT variant (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).

The SUV was launched recently at prices in the range of Rs. 23.99 lakh to Rs. 25.99 lakh. However, with GST being implemented from July 1, 2017, large SUVs will be eligible for a lower tax rate. The cumulative taxes applicable under the current taxation system are over 53%. However, with the new GST norms, large SUVs have been put under the 43% tax slab, which will bring down the final prices. Isuzu has thus pre-forwarded the said benefits to customers by making the aforementioned price cut within just a month of the MU-X's launch.

The automaker has also slashed prices of the D-Max V-Cross, which is now priced at Rs. 12.7 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The pick-up has thus been given a price cut of around Rs. 60,000.

Isuzu MU-X spotted in India without any camouflage

The Isuzu MU-X has been spotted in India without any camouflage. The SUV is expected to be launched in the country on April 11, 2017.

The MU-X borrows most of its design elements from the D-Max V-Cross, especially at the front. The SUV gets a large, dual-slat chrome grille, swept-back headlight assemblies with projector setups, black cladding on the lower part of the bumper and LED DRL strips around the fog lamp housings. The side profile is characterized by beefed up wheel arches, 17-inch alloy wheels, prominent roof rails and chromed ORVM caps and door handles. The rear gets wraparound, twin section tail lamps, chrome detailing above the number plate housing and a roof mounted spoiler.

The interior layout is also inspired from the D-Max V-cross. The SUV comes with an all-black cabin layout. Features visible in the spy shots include a touchscreen infotainment system and steering mounted audio controls.

Media reports suggest that the India-spec MU-X will be powered by a 3.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. Initially, the MU-X is likely to come in 4x4 MT and AT variants, while 4x2 versions are expected to be launched at a later date. A smaller, 1.9-litre engine could also be introduced later in the year.

The MU-X will be a competitor for the Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport.

The MU-X is expected to be the replacement of the Isuzu MU-7.

Isuzu MU-X spotted again, interiors revealed

Isuzu has been testing the MU-X SUV in India for a fairly long time. Multiple spy shots of the SUV have already surfaced on the Internet. However, the recent set of spy shots offer a look at the interiors of the India-spec model.

The MU-X is basically a seven-seater SUV sibling of the D-Max V-Cross pickup. As a result, it borrows the front fascia from the D-Max, while the side profile looks inspired from the Chevrolet Trailblazer. The interiors too are similar to that of the Trailblazer. However, a few changes have been made on the Isuzu SUV, which include an all-black dashboard, leather upholstery for the seats and roof-mounted AC vents for the rear passengers. The spotted model also shows the presence of an automatic gearbox with the India-spec MU-X.

Media reports suggest that Isuzu might locally assemble the MU-X in India in order to keep its prices competitive. Since the D-Max V-Cross is already assembled at the company's plant in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, it won't be a major concern for the automaker to start local assembly of the MU-X as well.

In international markets, the MU-X is powered by a 3.0-litre diesel engine that churns out 174 BHP and 380 Nm of torque. However, Isuzu is likely to equip the Indian version with the same engine that powers the MU-7. This is also a 3.0-litre unit, but it develops slightly lower power and torque figures of 161 BHP and 360 Nm, respectively. Isuzu is expected to launch the MU-X in India as a competitor to the Ford Endeavour, Toyota Fortuner and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport.

Isuzu MU-X spotted testing in India

The Isuzu MU-X has been spotted testing on Indian roads. It is expected to replace the MU-7, which is currently on sale in the country. It may be recalled that a single prototype of the MU-X was imported into India in September this year.

The Isuzu MU-X is built on the same platform that underpins the Chevrolet Trailblazer. The design too is inspired from the Chevrolet SUV, especially when viewed from the side. Other design characteristics include an upright nose, projector headlamps, a muscular bumper, and a twin-slat chrome grille.

The interiors too are inspired from the Trailblazer. Features on offer include automatic climate control, cruise control, and an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Rumour: Isuzu MU-X India launch by end-2016

Isuzu is reportedly planning to bring the MU-X SUV in India, which is expected to be launched by the end of this year. If the said reports are true, the MU-X will replace the MU-7 SUV currently on sale in India.

The MU-7 was launched in 2012, when the Japanese manufacturer ventured into the Indian market. Though it came with ample space on the inside, a large vehicle feel on the outside, and a 3.0-litre engine under its hood, the MU-7 wasn't really able to make a mark in the segment. This lukewarm response was mainly attributed to the MU-7's dated looks and poor levels of fit and finish. With the MU-X, Isuzu is said to have worked on these limitations, and thus hopes to get a better response from the Indian customers.

The Isuzu MU-X is built on the same platform that underpins the Chevrolet Trailblazer. It also shares various design cues with the Chevy SUV, especially the side profile. Isuzu has given it projector headlamps and LED DRLs, a muscular front bumper and a thick, double-slat chrome grille.

The interior too is similar to what is offered on the Chevrolet Trailblazer. There is a multi-function steering wheel and a modern-looking instrument cluster. Features on offer include automatic climate control, cruise control, and an 8-inch touchscreen system.

In international markets, the MU-X is powered by a 3.0-litre diesel engine that churns out 174 BHP and 380 Nm of torque. However, Isuzu might equip the Indian version with the same engine that powers the MU-7. This is also a 3.0-litre unit, but it develops slightly lower power and torque figures of 161 BHP and 360 Nm, respectively.

Once launched, the Isuzu MU-X will compete with established rivals like the Toyota Fortuner and the Ford Endeavour.
