Following its remarkable success in Thailand, where it dominated the PPV segment in 2024, and in Australia, where it has become a preferred choice for families and adventurers alike, the mu-X now arrives in the Philippines with upgraded features designed to meet the evolving needs of Filipino drivers.
Built on Isuzu’s legacy of durability and innovation, the new mu-X seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with a commanding presence on the road.

With its new elevated design, enhanced features, and cutting-edge technology, we have no doubt that this latest model will once again set the standard in the SUV segment.”
Luxury Meets Bold New Design
The new 2025 Isuzu Mu-X features a striking and aerodynamically refined exterior inspired by fighter jet designs, giving it a bold yet elegant presence on the road. Its new dynamic front grille and sculpted hood enhance its visual appeal, making it appear wider and taller, further reinforcing its robust stance. The redesigned front bumper, now integrated with an air curtain function, improves aerodynamics by reducing drag and cabin noise, ensuring a quieter and smoother ride even at high speeds.
Equipped with new Dynamic Blade Bi-Beam LED headlamps, the new mu-X delivers superior illumination while adding a touch of sophistication. The distinctive rear combination tail lamps seamlessly complement the vehicle’s redesigned tailgate, integrated spoiler, and refined lower bumper, creating a cohesive and contemporary look. Add to that its new 20-inch Dynamic Turbine Alloy Wheels, giving it an extra layer of confidence and ensuring that the mu-X stands out with both style and substance.
The outcome is an SUV that not only attracts attention but also enhances performance and efficiency with its aerodynamic improvements. Truly, Filipino drivers will appreciate how these thoughtful design updates contribute to improved fuel economy and reduced wind resistance, making every journey more enjoyable.

Moreover, piano black accents and long character lines meticulously design the interior, highlighting elegance and modernity in every detail.
A newly upgraded leather-wrapped steering wheel with improved stitching ensures a more comfortable and secure grip, adding to the premium feel of the cabin. For drivers, the 7-inch Multi-Information Display (MID) provides crucial real-time data, including eco-driving information, four-wheel drive engagement, and Rough Terrain Mode settings, making it easier to monitor vehicle performance and optimize efficiency.
The new Isuzu mu-X also embraces the latest in connectivity and entertainment. Its 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing seamless smartphone integration. Its wireless charging function removes the need for untidy wires, guaranteeing passengers stay connected and engaged during their travels—making it a perfect option for contemporary Filipino families and professionals who appreciate both ease and innovation.
Proven Performance & Off-road Capability
At the heart of the 2025 Isuzu mu-X is the powerful and reliable 4JJ3-TCX 3.0L Blue Power engine, delivering 190 PS of maximum power and 450 N-m of torque. This engine is engineered for both everyday city drives and demanding off-road adventures, making it the perfect SUV for the diverse driving conditions in the Philippines.
Built on Isuzu’s reputation for rugged durability, the mu-X continues to be a favorite among adventure seekers thanks to its 4×4 drivetrain, which is now enhanced with a new Traction Control System with Rough Terrain Mode. These features provide enhanced grip, stability, and maneuverability, ensuring that drivers can confidently navigate steep inclines, muddy trails, and rocky terrain with ease. Whether tackling the unpaved roads of the countryside or cruising through city streets, the mu-X adapts effortlessly to any environment.
Additionally, the mu-X’s refined suspension system absorbs road imperfections, offering a smoother and more comfortable ride. Coupled with its improved chassis design, it enhances handling and cornering stability, allowing for precise control even at high speeds. These upgrades let the car balance power and efficiency, making every ride more enjoyable for everyone.
Advanced Safety for Ultimate Peace of Mind
Safety remains at the forefront of the 2025 Isuzu mu-X, making it one of the most technologically advanced Isuzu models to date. The vehicle is equipped with an upgraded Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) featuring Isuzu’s Gen4 SMART Duo Camera, a state-of-the-art stereo camera with a 120-degree field of view and an extended detection range of up to 120 meters. This system provides an added layer of protection by accurately detecting pedestrians, cyclists, and potential obstacles, which enhances overall driver awareness.
In addition, the new mu-X introduces a 360-degree Around View Monitor, ensuring full visibility in tight spaces and preventing potential collisions. A first-in-class Digital Video Recorder (DVR) also comes as a built-in feature, eliminating the need for third-party dash cams and offering added security for every journey.
New safety enhancements include front parking sensors and Rear Cross Traffic Brake (RCTB), which supplements the existing Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system. These features help drivers navigate crowded urban areas and reverse with greater confidence, reducing the risk of accidents. By integrating these cutting-edge safety technologies, Isuzu continues to prioritize driver and passenger protection, setting new benchmarks for SUV safety in the Philippine market.
With the launch of the 2025 Isuzu mu-X, IPC reaffirms its dedication to continuous innovation by listening to its customers and enhancing its vehicles to meet their evolving needs.
