JAKARTA - The medium Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) market wave is getting more and more attractive with various manufacturers providing major updates, such as Ford Everest to Toyota Fortuner.

Not wanting to be left behind, Isuzu is also rumored to be providing a refresher for the Mu-X Ladder Frame model in the Thai market. This is based on the monitoring of the official Isuzu Thailand website which provides this one car teaser.

Quoting from the Top Gear PH page, Friday, June 7, Isuzu Thailand stated that it would be 'coming soon' for the Mu-X model. However, there are no more in-depth details about this facelift model.

However, Isuzu spread a teaser that reads 'RS' which is expected to have a sharper facelift model, or some details with an attractive style.

Talking about the slogan 'RS' is also nothing new, because some well-known brands such as Honda, Porsche and Audi also pinned the two writings for the car model.

It is also possible that Isuzu Mu-X facelift adopted Toyota's strategy by implementing two different exteriors, especially for the name 'RS' which was embedded in the facelift model. It is estimated that this one model will carry two engine options, namely 1,900cc, and 3,000cc Turbo Diesel. As well as for the driving that is used, it is still the same, namely 4x4 and 4x4 as well as the Manual and Automatic transmission options.

No other details can be obtained, including the launch time. But one of Thailand's automotive sites Autospinn said the car will launch at its fastest on June 12 which means it's just a matter of days.

Isuzu Mu-X itself is a dashing car that was first born in 2013 which was first launched in Thailand. Then, in the following year or 2014 this model entered the country at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS).

Meanwhile, this one model is back in 2017 or the facelift version, where there are several changes, both exterior, interior and feature. In addition, the history of the second generation Isuzu Mu-X begins in 2021 which is also present in Indonesia.
