Can The Smaller Engine Keep Up? (Isuzu MU-X 1.9L 2024 Review)

Detailed review and test of the 2024 Isuzu MU-X 4WD concentrating on the new 1.9L engine, price, driving dynamics and more.

Isuzu has introduced a more frugal and lower-emission four-cylinder engine to its MU-X 4WD wagon range: it's a 1.9L diesel that is about 10% more economical. But is this smaller and less powerful engine good enough when compared to the long-lasting 3.0L version?

The Isuzu MU-X competes with the Ford Everest, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, Toyota Fortuner, Ssangyong Rexton and other rugged 4x4 wagons.
