Isuzu MU-X 2023

The 2023 Isuzu MU-X range of configurations is currently priced from $41,888.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Marcus Craft had this to say at the time: When all is said and done, not a lot separates these three vehicles in terms of being able to safely take on serious 4WD challenges in stock-standard form. However, there are minor differences in how comfortably capable they are – that is, how well they are able to traverse tough terrain with minimal stress, all the while avoiding damage.

This is what Marcus Craft liked most about this particular version of the Isuzu MU-X: MU-X is very capable off-road, Everest makes good use of driver-driver-assist tech, Pajero Sport has Super Select II 4WD

The 2023 Isuzu MU-X carries a braked towing capacity of up to 3500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

The Isuzu MU-X is also known as the Chevrolet Colorado, the Chevrolet D-Max, the Chevrolet LUV D-Max, the Holden Colorado, the Holden Rodeo, the Isuzu KB, the Isuzu LB, the Isuzu Rodeo, the Chevrolet T Series and the GMC Canyon in markets outside Australia.

Isuzu MU-X 2023 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Isuzu MU-X 2023 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • My 2023 Isuzu MU-X LST has a flat battery after a week away

    A lot of people think that a car that is switched off and locked won’t be draining its battery at all. But that’s not the case. Electronic equipment often imposes a constant drain on the car’s battery, and things like the stereo (for keeping stored radio frequencies) and any alarm system can create a constant draw on the battery. And when you think about it, even the remote central locking needs to be 'alive' all the time so that it can identify and act on your command to open the doors and prepare the car to be started.

    However, I wouldn’t expect a nearly new car battery to be unable to survive a single week of not being driven. So maybe there’s something else going on. It could even be that the battery itself is faulty and not holding a charge as it should.

    I’d be talking to the dealership as a fault with, say, a luggage area light staying on or any other piece of equipment not switching off when it should, is potentially a warranty claim. Just don’t expect Isuzu to cover the cost of a new battery. Like tyres and brake pads, batteries are considered consumables and are generally not covered by a new-car warranty. Although if it’s an electrical fault on the car that has caused the death of the battery, I reckon it’s an arguable case.

  • Vibration and engine labouring in my 2023 Isuzu MU-X

    What you’re experiencing is the transmission calibration that many modern vehicles use to increase fuel economy. By always trying to be in a higher gear, the vehicle will record a better fuel economy number on the official test that compares it with its competitors.

    The downside is that the constant upshifting means the vehicle will sometimes find itself in a gear that’s slightly too tall, and that’s when you’ll start to get the symptoms of feeling like the engine is labouring or lugging.

    As you’ve noted, when the car shifts down a gear, the sensation goes away. The solution is to manually pull the car back a gear when this happens. If t really bothers you, you could ask Isuzu if there’s a software update that makes the transmission a little less eager to be in top gear.

  • How long is too long of a delay when ordering a car?

    You’ve kind of already answered your own question by saying that you’ve already waited a year for delivery. Saying no to this one and ordering another might see a similar delay and you’d be back to square one. And a year older. Like many brands, Isuzu deliveries were adversely affected by global supply-chain problems and the world shortage of silicon-chips needed to make on-board computers work.

    There are two issues with a car with last year’s build date. The first of these is that the motor trade uses the year of manufacture when calculating retained (trade-in) value. So, if you don’t plan to keep the car long before trading it in, then maybe that’s a concern. If you plan to keep it for 10 years or so, then an extra birthday will have very little affect on its trade-in value by then. This is something you might be able to negotiate on with the dealership you’ve purchased from

    As for warranty, Australian Consumer Law states that motor vehicle warranties start form the date of first registration, not the build date. So even though the car might technically be six months old when you get it, the factory six-year/150,000km warranty will start from the day it’s delivered to you as a brand-new vehicle. The exception to this is if the car was originally a dealer demonstrator, when the warranty would start form the time it was registered by the dealership. If that’s the case, this should be reflected in the purchase price as it’s no longer a brand-new car you’re buying.
