The 2025 Isuzu MU-X has arrived with a refreshed look, new tech, and the introduction of the X-Terrain—a new top-of-the-line trim level that adds a bold new styling package and premium features. With updates across the range, this seven-seater 4WD SUV is set to take on the likes of the Ford Everest and Toyota Prado while maintaining the reliability and toughness that Isuzu MU-X owners love.

What’s New for the 2025 Isuzu MU-X?
· New X-Terrain flagship trim
· Updated front and rear design with refreshed headlights, grille, and tail-lights
· Tech & safety improvements, including an upgraded stereo camera for driver assistance features
· Refined suspension tuning for better high-speed stability and comfort
· Enhanced Rough Terrain Mode (RTM), now working alongside the rear differential lock
· New interior updates, including volume and tuning dials for the infotainment system
The 2025 MU-X still runs the trusted 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine producing 140kW and 450Nm, with the 1.9-litre turbo-diesel option remaining available in lower trims.

Off-Road & Towing Features: Still Built for Adventure
The 2025 Isuzu MU-X retains its 800mm wading depth, 230mm+ ground clearance, and rear locking differential, making it a solid option for off-roaders.
Key 4x4 Features:
· 4x4 Terrain Command – with 2H, 4H, and 4L low-range gearing
· Rear Differential Lock – for extra traction when needed
· Rough Terrain Mode (RTM) Enhancement – now works with the diff lock
· Trailer Sway Control – keeping you stable when towing up to 3500kg
Whether you're towing a caravan, heading off-road, or just want a reliable family SUV, the MU-X remains a strong contender in Australia’s 4WD market.

The New X-Terrain Trim – A Bold Flagship for the MU-X
The biggest news for 2025 is the introduction of the X-Terrain trim, bringing a bold, sporty look with premium interior upgrades. On the outside, it rolls on 20-inch gloss black alloy wheels, with black fender flares, side skirts, and an underbody spoiler giving it a more aggressive stance. A new gloss black grille with X-Terrain badging completes the look, while the exclusive Slate Grey Metallic paint makes sure it stands out. Inside, it steps up with leather-accented seats featuring red and grey stitching, red LED ambient lighting, and piano black and silver metallic dashboard accents. A 7-inch multi-information display with red graphics rounds out the flagship feel. If you want the best-equipped MU-X yet, the X-Terrain is now the top dog in the lineup.

Is the 2025 Isuzu MU-X Worth It?
With styling updates, a new flagship trim, improved off-road traction, and a refined suspension, the MU-X is better than ever. The trusted 3.0-litre turbo-diesel remains the go-to for most buyers, while the 1.9-litre option offers better fuel economy.
If you're looking for a rugged, reliable, and well-equipped seven-seat SUV, the 2025 Isuzu MU-X is one to consider.
