RV FEATURE
As part of the revised shape, Isuzu has incorporated an‘ air curtain’, a design feature that directs airflow through the front bar and past the front wheels, reducing drag and turbulence.
As I drove along the highway, towards Black Duck Valley, I immediately noticed the improvement to the vehicle’ s Lane Keep Assist function. Essentially, Isuzu has updated it to track the centre of the lane, rather than the outer boundaries, resulting in smoother and less frequent intervention.
The intelligent adaptive cruise control, also updated for this vehicle, works well, too, especially in conjunction with the traffic sign recognition function. This feature can automatically determine the speed of the vehicle ahead and adapt your speed in order to maintain a pre-set distance between vehicles. If you’ ve never experienced a similar vehicle feature, it is quite a revelation.
There are plenty of other features added to the MY2025 MU-X. These include a gen 4 stereo camera that increases the field of view from 40 ° to 120 °, while increasing forward vehicle detection from 120m to 150m. It can detect a vehicle’ s oncoming headlights from as far away as 700m and a car’ s brake lights from 500m away.
The vehicle also gets a rear cross traffic brake function, which identifies objects to the left and right of the vehicle when reversing and applies the brakes automatically to avoid a collision.
In short: there has been a lot added to this vehicle. Again, we saw much of it in the D-MAX last year, but it is also very welcome technology for the MU-X.
