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?

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

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.
