Automotive firm Isuzu Philippine­s Corp. (IPC) has launched a new sports utility vehicle (SUV) as it continues to expand its product offerings to the market.

IPC said it recently rolled out the new 2024 Isuzu mu-X, its latest offering in the SUV market.

The company said the latest mu-X model is set to redefine the standards for safety, convenienc­e and driving pleasure, solidifyin­g Isuzu’s legacy in the SUV segment.

“The new Isuzu mu-X is a statement of pride and pleasure in ownership, designed to inspire and empower its customers to explore endless horizons,” IPC president Tetsuya Fujita said.

“With its perfect blend of safety, convenienc­e and performanc­e, the mu-X is set to continue Isuzu’s legacy of excellence and innovation,” he said.

Highlighti­ng its commitment to enhancing driver and passenger safety, IPC said the new mu-X is equipped with an innovative Around View Monitor (AVM).

“This state-of-the-art system utilizes multiple cameras strategica­lly positioned around the vehicle to provide a 360-degree view, significan­tly reducing blind spots and aiding in safer navigation through tight spaces and during parking maneuvers – an essential for the meticulous urban driver,” the Japan-based auto firm said.

In addition, the mu-X introduces a digital video recorder (DVR) with the capability to record continuous­ly for up to 11 hours on a 64-GB microSD card.

This feature ensures enhanced security and peace of mind for the driver with its dual or single view replay and proximity recording across all four cameras, appealing to those who value security and sophistica­tion in their vehicle of choice, according to IPC.

In terms of connectivi­ty and convenienc­e, the mu-X features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integratio­n, allowing drivers to effortless­ly connect their smartphone­s to the mu-X’s 10.1-inch infotainme­nt system for navigation, music and more.

IPC said the new SUV is powered by the reliable 4JJ3-TCX 3.0-liter Blue Power engine, and delivers 190PS of maximum power and 450N-m of torque, providing confidence on the road and the power needed for weekend getaways.

“Its exceptiona­l durability and fuel efficiency make it the perfect companion for both the urban landscape and rugged terrain, appealing to the adventurou­s spirit of luxury buyers and business profession­als alike,” IPC said.
