ISUZU MU-X LS-M 2024 REVIEW: SNAPSHOT

The LS-M is the entry point to the 2024 MU-X range, sitting below the LS-M and LS-T models, and it’s now available with a smaller 1.9-litre turbodiesel engine, which lowers both your fuel use and towing capability.

The 1.9-litre LS-M lists $47,400 in two-wheel drive, or $53,400 in 4WD. The bigger engine option increases those prices to $49,400 and $55,400, respectively.

The smaller engine option delivers 110kW and 350Nm, while the 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine produces 140kW and 450Nm. Both pair with a six-speed automatic transmission and deliver power to two or all four wheels.

But if towing is your passion, you’re better off with the bigger engine, which is rated to 3.5 tonne. While the smaller engine can two 3.0 tonnes, it feels nowhere near as effortless as the bigger powerplant.

Standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, black sidesteps, keyless entry, cloth trim inside, a 7.0-inch central screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and air-conditioning.
