ONE OF THE REAL SUCCESS STORIES over recent years has been Isuzu, establishing itself among the country’s 10 best-selling automakers.

With outdoor lifestyle continuing to drive choice, Isuzu is responding to demand in the brand’s best-selling seven-seat SUV range by reintroducing the towing-ready special edition MU-X TOUR MATE.

Following a successful debut for the MU-X TOUR MATE in 2024, the value-packed MU-X LS-T 4×4 TOUR MATE joins the popular D-MAX TOUR MATE as Isuzu’s ultimate companion for off-road towing and exploring.

Equipped with a package of commonly selected optional genuine towing accessories worth almost $9000 when fitted (Isuzu figures), the Isuzu MU-X LS-T 4×4 TOUR MATE is available now nationwide from just $79,990 drive away. That equates to the TOUR MATE package offering more than $7600 worth of savings on the MU-X LS-T 4X4.

Built on the top-spec MU-X LS-T 4×4, the ‘TOUR MATE’ badged special edition is powered by Isuzu’s legendary 140kW/450Nm 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine via a commanding and capable dual-range 4×4 drivetrain.

The TOUR MATE’s touring and towing inclusions consist of frontal protection by way of a satin black steel bull bar with integrated parking sensors and fog lights, tow bar kit with 50mm ball, 12-pin flat wiring harness, electric brake controller, Front & Rear Slimline Weathershields, Rear Cargo Liner, Rubber Floor Mats and Wireless charger.

Also featuring leather-accented upholstery and 20-inch alloy wheels, the MU-X TOUR MATE is replete with standard features including Idle Stop-Start (ISS), Variably heated Front Seats, and a 9-inch Touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

“With the MU-X TOUR MATE having been tremendously well received last year, we are delighted to be able to return to market with an updated version of our most capable touring and towing model yet,”said Isuzu UTE Australia Managing Director, Mr Junta Matsui.

“The MU-X TOUR MATE represents exceptional value as a reliable, rugged, and refined vehicle for customers ready to experience the best of the Australian lifestyle, allowing them to go their own way the moment they leave the Dealership.”

The MU-X TOUR MATE is available in seven colours including Mercury Silver, Moonstone White Pearl, Mineral White, Obsidian Grey, Magnetic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Basalt Black.

Australia’s 15th best-selling car overall in 2024, the Isuzu MU-X has long been lauded by customers and automotive experts alike for winning combination of its value, versatility, and reliability. The MU-X won Wheels Magazine’s prestigious ‘Best Value 4X4 SUV’ award as part of the inaugural Wheels ‘Best Large SUV’ awards last year, with Editor Andy Enright declaring “the Isuzu MU-X beat everything else out of sight”.

Offering customers peace of mind when on the road, the Isuzu MU-X TOUR MATE is backed by Isuzu’s comprehensive ‘Service Plus’ customer care program, encompassing a five-year Flat Price Servicing program at $469 per year/15,000km intervals, a six-year/150,000km warranty, and up to seven-years of roadside assistance.
