ISUZU MU-X MAKES LIGHT OF IMPROVEMENTS

  By , , ,

The selling of grocery items and automobiles grows ever closer, especially in these days of ‘shrinkflation’, where products are reduced in size without equivalent price reductions. I’m not suggesting that Isuzu is taking buyers for a ride with the addition of its smaller engine MU-X SUV but claims this brings added appeal (read sales) to the family friendly seven-seater. Prices start at $47,400 for the MU-X LS-M 1.9L 4×2, plus on-road costs, and top out at $67,990, drive away, for the MU-X LS-T 3.0L 4×4. Price increases are limited to… Read more

  By ,

It seems that like the Genie of the Lamp a customer’s wish is Isuzu Ute’s command, for a new model has elbowed its way into the top echelons of its rugged pick-up truck ranks. The Japanese manufacturer has slotted the D-Max LS-U+ in between the well- presented LS-U double cab lifestyle ute and flagship of the updated third generation for those who want a touch of luxury without the ‘shouty’ styling of the X-Terrain. The new D-Max LS-U+ Crew Cab 4×4 Ute features similar equipment to the MY22 LS- U… Read more
