Trip-ready MU-X Tour Mate launches; equipped with more than $9K worth of accessories

Hot on the heels of the launch of the D-MAX Tour Mate, Isuzu has applied similar treatment to its seven-seat SUV, with the Japanese marque confirming the release of an MU-X Tour Mate special edition.

Just like the D-MAX version, the special edition MU-X Tour Mate is loaded with more than $9200 worth of optional genuine accessories. Priced at $73,990 drive away, Isuzu claims the package represents significant savings.

The special edition variant uses the top-spec, leather-clad MU-X LS-T as a starting point, which means it is already equipped with a host of premium kit including 20-inch two-tone alloy wheels with 265/50R20 Bridgestone 684 II HT tyres; a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System; a 9.0-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity; and power-adjustable front seats (heated, of course).

To give it the Tour Mate edge, Isuzu has equipped the vehicle with a number of bespoke accessories including a black steel bull bar with integrated parking sensors and fog lights; a tow bar kit with 50mm ball, 12-pin wiring harness and electric brake controller; and Clearview towing mirrors.

The MU-X Tour Mate remains powered by Isuzu’s venerable 140kW/450Nm 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. A rear diff lock is standard, as is a 3500kg braked towing capacity, an 800mm wading depth and 235mm of ground clearance. The MU-X is lauded for its ample interior space, boasting 311 litres with all seats up, 1119 litres with the third row folded, and 2138 litres with the second and third rows folded.

“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 offers motorists adventures direct from the showroom,” he added.
