In a market dominated by the Fortuner and Everest, does the Isuzu MU-X 1.9TD represent a better buying proposition for buyers prioritising value-for-money? Ciro De Siena investigates…

The Isuzu MU-X is underappreciated – and accustomed to living in the shadows of the top-selling Toyota Fortuner and, to some extent, models such as the Ford Everest and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport.

However, for 2023, Gqeberha-based Isuzu Motors SA has introduced a model-year update for its Adventure SUV and launched an entry-level 1.9TD LS 4×2 derivative at a VERY keen price point.

In his in-depth review, Ciro De Siena weighs up the pros and cons of Isuzu’s bakkie-based SUV as family car. Pricey medium SUVs may offer more on-road and interior refinement, but is there another Adventure SUV that can offer as much value for money as the 1.9-litre MU-X derivative?
