The Isuzu MU-X, produced between 2013 and 2016, is a mid-size SUV known for its robustness and versatility. It shares its platform with the Chevrolet Trailblazer.
The MU-X is powered by a 3.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, producing 130 kW of power and 380 Nm of torque. It comes with either a 5-speed manual or automatic transmission and is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. Fuel efficiency averages around 8-9 litres per 100 kilometres.
For off-road capabilities, the 4WD versions have a low-range transfer case, traction control, and a limited-slip differential. The suspension includes a double-wishbone front and a five-link rear, providing comfort over rough terrain. The MU-X has been well-received in markets like Australia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East for its durability and reliability.
The 2013-2016 Isuzu MU-X is a reliable SUV with a good balance of on-road comfort and off-road capability, making it ideal for families and adventure enthusiasts.
Your Isuzu MU-X (2013-2016) can become significantly slower when towing, especially when your air conditioning and other accessory systems require power, and the engine provides that power.
Many drivers feel frustrated while driving, which can make simple overtaking a big problem, and applying full throttle is a natural reaction when they think their Isuzu MU-X cannot perform as they expect.
This is because a diesel engine is meant to deliver strong torque and towing force at middle engine speed ranges (2000-4000 rpm). As a result, the car cannot complete an overtake even at full throttle if driving on a gently sloping road with a medium load onboard.
This results in potentially unsafe driving conditions and higher fuel consumption.
Diesel Tuning Brisbane's tailored ECU Remap typically provides the 2013-2016 Isuzu MU-X with an additional 25 horsepower and a 35% increase in torque, offering a gain of 100Nm over stock, without further hardware required and without compromising reliability. This results in a much more responsive and safer vehicle, especially for towing.
For automatic models, tailored transmission tuning of the AC60 6-speed transmission in Isuzu MUX, DMAX 4JJ1 and 4JJ3 models is recommended for optimal performance. This further improves fuel economy, reduces your environmental impact, enhances shift schedules and the occasionally irritating torque converter behaviour.
To add a more pronounced exhaust note, and crisper pedal response, installing an ISUZU MUX PERFORMANCE EXHAUST is a wise investment for optimal results. See more about performance exhausts, by clicking here.
A Stage 1 tuning package is a popular enhancement choice among car enthusiasts seeking to boost their vehicle’s performance without compromising reliability or drivability.

This may include upgrading critical components such as the turbocharger, intercooler, fuel system, intake and exhaust system, and potentially other upgrades depending on the requirements. Additionally, upgraded drivetrain and suspension components are often necessary to handle the increased power output.
Opting for a Stage 3 tuning package brings a significant boost in power and torque compared to Stage 1 or Stage 2 upgrades. However, it’s important to note that this level of modification is not always recommended for daily drivers, as it may lead to reduced reliability, increased emissions, and decreased drivability in traffic.
It’s crucial to be aware that a Stage 3 tuning package may potentially void the factory warranty and could be deemed illegal in certain jurisdictions. Hence, selecting a reputable and experienced tuning company becomes essential to receive a customized package meeting specific goals and requirements, all while ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
