2024 ISUZU MU-X TOUR MATE: TOWING AND TOURING READY

01 October 2024

Following the successful reintroduction of the touring and towing ready D-MAX TOUR MATE, Isuzu UTE Australia (IUA) is adding more value to the best-selling MU-X range with the addition of the Isuzu MU-X TOUR MATE special edition.

The Isuzu MU-X LS-T 4x4 TOUR MATE is available through participating dealerships nationwide from 1st October, with the special edition seven-seat SUV bundled with an array of commonly selected optional genuine accessories at a compelling price of just $73,990 drive away*—saving customers over $9,300 over the RRP.

Built on the top-spec MU-X LS-T 4x4 powered by Isuzu’s venerable 140kW/450Nm 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine paired with a dual-range 4x4 drivetrain, leather-accented upholstery, and 20-inch alloy wheels, the MU-X TOUR MATE is Isuzu’s most equipped and capable 4x4 SUV to date.

With towing and touring the key focus of the MU-X TOUR MATE, this special edition includes frontal protection by way of a satin black steel bull bar with integrated parking sensors and fog lights, tow bar kit with 50mm towball, 12-pin wiring harness, electric brake controller, Clearview extendable heated and power-fold compact towing mirrors, and unique TOUR MATE badging.

“With the D-MAX TOUR MATE proving popular since its introduction in August 2024, it was only natural that we offer a TOUR MATE special edition to our MU-X customers,” said Isuzu UTE Australia’s Deputy Managing Director, Mr Koichiro Yoshida.

“For years, the TOUR MATE badge represented towing and touring ready capability, along with value for money. The 2024 Isuzu MU-X TOUR MATE is no exception, a highly equipped vehicle that offer motorists adventures direct from the showroom.”

The MU-X TOUR MATE, priced from $73,990 drive away*, bundles $9,200 worth of genuine and approved accessories into a compelling value-for-money, ‘adventure-ready’ package. When tallied up separately, the TOUR MATE package represents savings between $9,377 and $12,185, depending on the on-road costs stipulated by the individual state or territory in which the vehicle is registered.

For years, the Isuzu MU-X has long been a favourite amongst Australian motorists for its capability and versatility as one of Australia’s best-value 4x4s—a claim that was recently validated by Wheels Magazine, when the seven-seat SUV was awarded the ‘Wheels Best Value 4x4 SUV’ award in late-2023. With the arrival of the MU-X LS-T TOUR MATE special edition, Isuzu’s range of popular large-SUVs continues to offer unrivalled value, particularly with motorists looking for a towing and adventure ready 4x4 SUV.

With IUA’s customer survey data indicating that close to half of all Isuzu customers chose the MU-X for its 3.5-tonne+ braked towing capacity, even with the 102kg of additional accessories fitted, the MU-X continues to offer well over half a tonne of payload capacity—an essential safety margin that ticks the requirements of Australian motorists that tow and load up for weekend adventures with the family.

Offering customers peace of mind when on the road, the Isuzu MU-X TOUR MATE is backed by IUA’s extensive dealer network of over 160 dealer sites nationwide, along with the comprehensive ‘Service Plus’ customer care program, encompassing a five-year Flat Price Servicing> program at $449 per year/15,000km intervals, a six-year/150,000km Warranty∧, and up to seven-years of Roadside Assistance<.
