Isuzu MU-X

The Isuzu MU-X has a strong SUV stance but looks a tad unexciting. Likewise, the neat cabin also lacks the sense of occasion you get inside rival SUVs. On the plus side, the MU-X’s high-set cabin offers a great view out, there’s lots of room in the middle row and even the third row is comfy and useable.
Judged against rivals’ engines, the Isuzu MU-X’s 177hp, 3.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine comes across as noisy and lacking outright punch. The 5-speed auto gearbox can also feel indecisive at times. What also works against the MU-X is its heavy steering and bouncy, high-speed ride.
