2016-isuzu-mu-x-type-s1

Aside from the facelifted D-Max range, Isuzu Malaysia also launched a special edition of the seven-seater MU-X, dubbed the Type-S, which is priced at RM176,640.41 on-the-road without insurance.

The Type-S introduces several enhancements to the D-Max-based SUV, beginning with the addition of body-coloured front and rear skirting, a rear bumper garnish, shark fin antenna, 17-inch alloys (with 255/65 tyres) and ‘Type S’ badging. Four colour options are available here – Splash White, Titanium Silver, Cosmic Black, Uluru Brown.

The special edition model also gets an expanded equipment list, with new items like keyless operation, an 8-inch touchscreen multimedia unit, new e-Lumax display, ivory-coloured leather seat upholstery and armrest, along with piano black dashboard and air-con vent trim.

The D-Max-based SUV also adds hill start assist on top of standard items such as ABS, EBD, brake assist, dual front airbags, ESC, and traction control.

The Type-S is only available in 2.5L 4×4 AT guise, where the powertrain is made up of the 4JK1-TCX 2.5 litre turbodiesel (136 PS/320 Nm), mated to a five-speed automatic transmission (with sequential shift).

Similar to the D-Max, the Type-S (and all other MU-X variants) now come with a five-year warranty, but with unlimited mileage (D-Max is up to 150,000 km). This is an upgrade from the previous three-year/100,000 km warranty offered. You can find full specifications and equipment of the Isuzu MU-X on CarBase.my.

    Isuzu D-Max 2.5 4×4 – RM101,600
    Isuzu MU-X 2.5 4×4 – RM176,640

    I don’t understand. Why is it RM75,000 more?
    It is far too much and seemed unjustified

      SUV classed under passenger vehicle so is charged import tax. Pickups are classed under commercials so exempted from import tax under AFTA.

    Saw the MuX… cheap interior doesn’t justify the price tag. Felt like a SUV with pickup truck interior. There are more better choices out there with a 176k budget. Getting a Sorento/Santa Fe/Koleos, anytime better than this.
