An updated version of the Isuzu MU-X SUV has been teased. Now the MU-X isn’t available in India yet, but it’ll come soon, preferably by this year itself. It is essentially the SUV version of the popular Isuzu D-Max V-Cross truck, and shares its bits and bobs with the Chevrolet Trailblazer.
Updates to the MU-X for MY2017 will include a new nose design, refreshed headlamps with new LED DRLs, new alloy wheels, refreshed tail lamps and a posher cabin. The teaser images show the redesigned grille and the new headlights, the new LED signature at the back, new leather seat trims and additional soft-touch materials on the dashboard.

We hope the infotainment system is given a much needed upgrade as well. Under the hood, the 2017 Isuzu MU-X will come an updated version of its 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine. It now makes 174.3HP and 430Nm of torque; 50Nm up over the old car, across a wider rev band (now 1700 to 3500rpm), matched to either six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.
