Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) recently launched two
new limited-edition variants to add excitement to the existing line-up of its Isuzu D-Max and Isuzu MU-X models.
For the D-Max, it's the X-Series which serves as the model's offering to the younger market segment and for the MU-X, it's the Luxe which, as the name suggests, is the most well-appointed MU-X variant to date.
"Keeping our line-up fresh is the key to the very demanding market, especially for the pick-up and SUV segment. To keep up with the competition, we are offering two new variants which are designed to exude the more aggressive and luxurious side of the D-MAX and mu-X models," said IPC President
Hajime Koso.
2018 Isuzu D-Max X-Series
Dressed to be more edgy, the 2018 edition of the
D-Max X-Series now has a
black radiator grille with red Isuzu logo and a
front and rear skirt lined with a deep red accent which not only adds to its looks but also assist in the vehicles overall aerodynamics.
More on the exterior, the X-Series also has a
color-keyed sleek cargo spoiler,
matte black roof rails and red fog lamp garnish. To top off its look, the X-Series now has
black 18-inch alloy wheels with a matching red lip accent.
Inside the cabin, the X-Series has a
rocker plate with illuminated red Isuzu logo and additional
multiple USB ports for driver and passenger convenience.
2018 Isuzu MU-X 'Luxe'
The MU-X also sees a new addition to its line-up with the new
MU-X 'Luxe' which brings together superior features that delivers a statement and status of a premium SUV.
The luxury edition MU-X is equipped with a
Power Lift Tailgate which opens and closes with a touch of button for a hassle-free cargo loading. For added styling,
light gray fender flares are installed which doubles as a protective feature to deflect rocks and debris away from the vehicle's body.
Adding to its already premium interior, the MU-X Luxe has a new
blue illuminated scuff plate and
3D surround sound system to complete the overall luxurious experience while driving or riding the new MU-X variant.
Available only on a
4x2 drivetrain, both the D-Max X-Series and MU-X Luxe run on the ever-reliable
4JJ1-TCX 3.0-liter Blue Power Diesel engine that is
Euro 4 emission standard-complaint and is capable of producing
175 hp maximum power and
380 Nm maximum torque.
IPC has yet to reveal the pricing of both the Isuzu D-Max X-Series and Isuzu MU-X Luxe.
