2018 Isuzu MU-X Facelift Launched in India at Rs 26.26 Lakh

Isuzu Motors India is a subsidiary of Isuzu Motors Limited. The Japanese Automaker has just released its facelifted SUV, the Isuzu Mu-X which is appealing to Indian customers with a number of cosmetic and aesthetic updates. The Isuzu MU-X Facelift comes to take on the outgoing flagship SUV which was first launched in India in 2017.

The MU-X Facelift will compete with the likes of Toyota Fortuner and Ford  Endeavour 

Under the hood, the 2018 Isuzu MU-X facelift is remained almost the same 3.0-litre diesel engine mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission as standard. The powertrain can produce 174 bhp of power and 380 Nm of peak torque. However, in some selected markets like South East Asia, Isuzu has launched a new downsized 1.9-litre diesel engine generating 148bhp per 350 Nm units paired to a 6-speed gearbox. The smaller motor might be provided in the Indian market once the BSVI emission norms take effect.

The 2018 Isuzu MU-X SUV offers a bunch of interior upgrades

Concerning the interior and exterior changes, the MU-X facelift will never fail to meet your expectation due to long lists of features to be improved such as:

• Restyled front fascia inspired by "Eagle styling" concept

• Bigger fog lamps with chrome units

• Redesigned front grille and bumper

• New 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels

The 2018 MU-X Facelift brings in various refreshed cosmetic features to make it more attractive

Speaking about the facelifted model, Mr Naohiro Yamaguchi who is currently the Managing Director of Isuzu Motors India noted that:

“The Isuzu MU-X has been gathering a lot of momentum in the Indian market and is gradually becoming a preferred choice for many Indian families, thanks to its sheer space and comfort it offers. Today with the all-new MU-X, we have upped the ante in our offering to the Indian SUV enthusiasts and changing lifestyles of the Indian families, who seek ‘more’ from us. The new MU-X is a perfect answer to those who will appreciate the capability and value it offers. I strongly believe the new MU-X will go on to win many more hearts in India”.
