Somewhere between all those hideously expensive luxury SUV’s and the oh-so trendy compact crossovers lives a whole horde of bakkie-based rustic 4×4’s with seven seats. We tested the face-lifted Isuzu offering.

Long-term test: 2019 Isuzu mu-X 3.0 AWD
The perfect flaw
Anonymity can be a wonderful thing. As 2019 was drawing to a close, I reflected on some of the colourful cars we tested and decided to book something mundane for the holidays. You know, some large bakkie-based SUV with seven seats and a clattering diesel engine. Have you met the Isuzu mu-X yet?
Tested: 2019 Isuzu mu-X
Your family has packed their bags for a desert safari and fishing trip in the Namib, which car do you take? OK, what if the roads are in a really terrible state? Right, one more thing. You’re allergic to Toyotas. Once you’ve managed to forget about the brilliant Pajero Sport, I would recommend this new Mucks.

Isuzu roep die troepe
As dit by voertuie kom, is daar maar nou net een baie sterk neiging in die Suider-Afrikaanse mark tydens die afgelope paar jare (of eintlik dekades). Meeste van ons soek ‘n gemaklike, veilige en praktiese voertuig vir die langpad. Nog meer, is ons selfs meer in ons nappies as die voertuig ‘n kamp sleepwa, karavaan of boot kan sleep.
