2018 Isuzu MU-X 3 0 LS-A 4x2 Blue Power Review
When I say Isuzu, I'm sure that what comes into your mind are only one of two things: a truck, or an Isuzu Crosswind/Sportivo which we've all grown up with. For Isuzu's transition into a Euro IV compliant world, they released the Isuzu MU-X effectively replacing the bi-decade old Crosswind.
Here is a top of the line 4x2 model of the Isuzu MU-X, also known as the Chevrolet Trailblazer with a different engine. This model comes with the top of the line 3.0L Blue Power engine which produces significantly more power than the older 2.5L and 3.0L diesel engines introduced together with the initial release of the MU-X in the Philippines as well as the base model 1.9L engine with only 148hp.
3.0L 4JJ1-TCX Blue Power 4x2 AT
176hp, 380Nm torque
Euro 4 compliant
ESC and traction control
DRLs
8.6Km/L city
8 inch touchscreen with reverse camera
10 inch screen that mirrors the front head unit at the 2nd row
1 zone climate control
Blue mood lighting along the door cards

Love your review keep it up!!! Before this, there was a Trooper that everybody forgot about it, hope you can review one of those it was an amazing vehicle too.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Thanks! If the opportunity arises, I’d be sure to review it

[@louism2566]

Solid in depth review sir Kyle I hope you can review a Rav4 gen 2 soon or a Rav4 gen1 3 doors

[@KyleLiongCars]

Thanks! There’s a gen 2 lined up already ;)

Yep I think this is available there together with the rest of its competitors :)

Wow. That's a lot of more Isuzu MU-X 3.0 Turbo Speedway Diesels for the Future of the Off-roads. Nice work brother.

Thanks

Your welcome sir.

First time i've seen this review and i hit subscribe straight away. Its a fair review and comparisons with other SUV. I've driven this model all around mindanao, crossed to camiguin, to bohol and around the island about 6 times, all around cebu, back to bohol, crossed to leyte, up to samar, crosssed to sorsogon, albay, camarines norte, and all the way to manila to get lockdown during the covid outbreak. I had no complains about this truck but when i see other vlogger reviews their stories are very much different to mine. Plastic parts in the interior justifies its functionality and durability. Heavy steering wheel? Only at first but your body adjusts to it without complains and you wont even notice it. I even drove this around metro manila with no dramas. Engine noise? As Kyle puts it, it has the classic Isuzu rumble but its actually pleasant type of rumbling. Its a sturdy vehicle with very powerful and reliable engine, functional design and more than adequate in features with comfortable seats. Kyle has the fairest review for this SUV.

[@KyleLiongCars]

Thanks and glad you found it to your liking. I tried to be as objective as possible :)

[@kahntul-ay2500]

Hello, is it possible to replace this with led headlights the 2018 mu-x since it’s HID headlights stock?

[@user-sg8iq9vw5s]

Kyle does this MUX look like a Foton View Traveller/Transvan or an old Foton View

[@514broly]

Hi Kyle. When you mentioned Fortuner engine, are you talking about the 2.4L variant?

[@KyleLiongCars]

Yep the 2.4

[@joaquinprimicias386]

Hey sir i want to use 2nd row screen i need help for that

[@pluspeed18]

got me at "grab handles at the third row for when your driver drives stupidly"

[@KyleLiongCars]

Great to have them

[@TheWilliamMoss]

I think you should ought to review the 4jx1 trooper, the one with the injector issues

[@KyleLiongCars]

Well if one comes up, I’ll definitely go for it haha

[@KyleLiongCars]

Sure. Please send me a message on Facebook

[@MrMekmek29]

Have you reviewed the 1.9 liter version of this?

[@KyleLiongCars]

Not yet

[@jonvortex9817]

Great review. I'm currently into buying a 2nd hand SUV and torn between this or the Fortuner. In your opinion, is this the better than the Fortuner?

[@KyleLiongCars]

Thanks! I’d take this over the Fortuner any day

[@kenzoleedelosreyes151]

What if. Compare this to our SUV. Which is better all around.

[@KyleLiongCars]

What’s your SUV?

@@KyleLiongCars nice hahha

[@i.g.2416]

Is based on the trailblazer or did the Isuzu based the trailblazer on this?

[@KyleLiongCars]

Well the Trailblazer was released first, but neither were actually based on the other. They were simply jointly develop

[@Mathias_Clausen]

Less chrome so you don't feel like going to valhalla when you drive it!

[@KyleLiongCars]

😂😂

[@SebasHenderson]

I think you put the LEDs upside down, low beam looked like a high beam, beam pattern is very important as well to have a clean and cool look even when using LEDs

[@KyleLiongCars]

I’ll check it again. I’m pretty sure the diodes were pointed to the right and left though haha! Thanks for pointing it out

[@SebasHenderson]

@@KyleLiongCars no doubt about left to right, but upside down, meaning the "cup"/low beam shield is facing down. This should be facing up 👌

[@KyleLiongCars]

Alright I’ll check it out :)

[@mattanain10]

you forgot to mention the ambient lights

[@KyleLiongCars]

Oh woops my bad. I did show it in the B roll tho :)

[@kenzoleedelosreyes151]

Which SUV nowadays do you prefer. All around

[@KyleLiongCars]

Terra

[@richardcapricho5233]

Based on Chevy Trailblazers, but I believe Mux is better looking than it's based/brother Chevy... Much more reliable too..

[@KyleLiongCars]

Probs more places are willing to service them too haha

[@DL.j]

This is a huge step up. I still have my 14 alterra urban cruiser and i have tested a 19 mux and its a lot easier to drive.

[@KyleLiongCars]

This generation of SUVs have stepped up their game so much compared to the previous gen which were obviously just pickups with a cover and extra seats

[@DL.j]

@@KyleLiongCars agree, you can never go wrong with isuzu still one of my most reliable car to this day.

[@KyleLiongCars]

@@DL.j Good reliable choice! Our 2001 Crosswind still lives on today haha

@@KyleLiongCars the color is not best seller so isuzu give a discount on every havana brown mu-x before until it was all sold out,some in mu-x boondock,but for me it is already good compare to the older brown color of mu-x.
