Review: 2026 Isuzu MU-X 1.9TD 4×4 LS
Verdict
The 2026 Isuzu MU-X 1.9TD 4×4 LS hits a sweet spot for budget-conscious buyers in the market for a seven-seater adventure SUV. While it won’t win any highway drag races, it offers genuine off-road capability, essential tech, and impressive efficiency at a R150 000 saving over the 3.0-litre 4×4. Overall, the new 1.9TD 4×4 LS offers a practical, capable entry point into the 4×4 MU-X range. While the proven 1.9-litre turbodiesel delivers commendable overall performance, open-road overtaking requires extra patience.
