The facelifted mu-X carries forward the 3.0-litre diesel engine from its predecessor

Isuzu has launched the mu-X facelift at Rs 26.26 lakh (ex-showroom Hyderabad). The body-on-frame SUV is Isuzu's flagship offering and goes up against the Ford Endeavour and the Toyota Fortuner. The mid-cycle update features aesthetic changes only.

Here’s the price list (ex-showroom):

	New	Old
4X2 AT	Rs 26.26 Lakh	Rs 24.83 Lakh
4X4 AT	Rs 28.22 Lakh	Rs 26.80 Lakh

The updated mu-X continues to draw power from the same 3.0-litre diesel, which powers the outgoing model. It makes 177PS and 380Nm with a 5-speed AT. Like before, the new mu-X is also available with both 2WD and 4WD options.

As far as the aesthetics are concerned, the mu-X looks sharper than before. Although there aren’t any changes to the sheet metal, the updated mu-X gets a redesigned front bumper, grille and rear bumper. It rides on bigger 18-inch, twin-spoke alloy wheels, which is a size up when compared to the 17-inch units offered in the previous model. It gets LED lighting as well, with new bi-LED projector headlamps with integrated daytime running lamps (DRLs) and tail lamps with LED elements.
