RV FEATURE
I would also note that about nine months ago , I recorded fuel consumption of 7.54L / 100km on the D-MAX LS-U + – a vehicle that uses the same engine as the 2023 MU-X . I can only put this difference down to aerodynamics , the fact this MU-X is about 70kg heavier , and different road and weather conditions .
Ultimately , I set out to see if realworld driving conditions would put this vehicle ’ s fuel consumption within striking distance of Isuzu ’ s figure for this vehicle , knowing that the fuel testing by Isuzu would be done in as ideal conditions as possible . Overall , I ’ m happy with the result . I think potential and current owners of this vehicle could expect to use anywhere between 8 and 9L / 100km of diesel , depending on all the usual caveats , from tyre pressure to weight in the vehicle , weather and driver attitude .
I drove 255.6km , using 22.1L of diesel .
