The Isuzu MU-X was only recently facelifted, but it appears there are yet more changes incoming for the D-Max-based body-on-frame SUV. According to Chinese portal autohome.com.cn, the Japanese commercial vehicle maker has revealed the new model’s interior ahead of its Chinese-market launch on December 26.
The sole image shows a completely new dashboard, with a tablet-like infotainment system – which appears to support Apple CarPlay – sitting between the centre air vents. There’s also greater use of wood trim, and the distinctive round air-conditioning controls have been ditched for more conventional knobs and switches. The three-spoke steering wheel has also been redesigned.
Facelifted models already sport a refreshed exterior with LED head- and tail lights, reprofiled bumpers and a more prominent roof spoiler, plus larger 18-inch alloy wheels. While we get the same 136 PS/320 Nm 2.5 litre turbodiesel as before, other markets gain a new 1.9 litre Ddi Blue Power unit making 150 PS at 3,600 rpm and 350 Nm of torque between 1,800 and 2,600 rpm.
Thai news portal Headlight Magazine added that the update could see the introduction of a new 2.4 litre RZ engine to replace the current 177 PS/380Nm 3.0 litre turbodiesel. There’s a choice of six-speed manual and automatic transmissions, although we currently get a five-speed automatic.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Nice looking interior! Can we have that for Malaysia D-Max? :D
Malaysia always get things last despite we having the highest car prices in the world.
One would expect, since Malaysians are paying 3x the global car prices, one would expect the latest launched in Malaysia.
But NO.
They share the same platform but Isuzu MY position them separately, hence u probably will get it with MUX FL here but not DMAX.
Meanwhile our isuzu models Still use a 10 year old interior
Isuzu not as bad as potong. potong interior look like wira for ages
What I want to see is the new 1.9L Blue engine instead of the old 2.5L!
When this facelift arrives here, the fortuner will be very unfortunate
It seem like volvo dashboard xc90
The most ugly 4×4 …
