    He said that if Isuzu brings the VGS engine here and puts an auto climate control A/C on the new D-Max LS 4x4 A/T, it will be more expensive than the Colorado LTZ 4x4 A/T. Eh ayaw ng Isuzu ng ganun, kaya they decided to scrimp out on the features of the new D-Max para maging mas mura kesa Colorado.

    If this is the case, the chances that they will be putting the old engine are very high. Mahal na nga ng old Alterra tapos ung VGS engine pa ang ilalagay nila, baka aabot na ng 1.7M ung 4x2 and 1.9M 4x4.

    First EnglishOZ video review

    Isuzu MU-X video review

    note the idle run uphill....impressive engine power

    The readable version

    a different review ...

    CarShowroom.com.au was quick to climb into the third-row seat to check it out. Glad we did too ‘cause there’s good news for families – the tumble-fold function for row two seats made for easy access and once there, leg-room was ample and certainly superior to many rivals.
    And, reflecting its 4WD capability, unlike some rivals which run plastic protector plates, the Isuzu MU-X is equipped with solid steel protectors for the front, sump and transfer case.

    Good Read

    BehindtheWheel | Car Reviews, News, Road Tests, Podcasts, Motorcycles

    Just on the engine, Isuzu executives were quite happy to boast that they expected the diesel power plant used in the MU-X to deliver a life of 500,000 kilometres!
    It’s also an impressively quiet engine and this, along with a more refined and generally nicer feel inside than the Colorado7 (Trailblazer for PH market), show this a superior product.

    This might be the strongest-feeling diesel on the market.

    2013 Isuzu MU-X First Drive and Review | CarShowroom.com.au
    Wow!!! Grabe ang lugging power nitong Alterra! Sobrang under stressed na siguro ang engine nito kahit fully loaded pa. I can't imagine not stepping on the accelerator pedal sa ganyan klaseng climb.

    Impressive reviews but we have to wait for the specs of the Philippine market Alterra. If Isuzu sticks to the strategy they employed on the D-Max, good luck in enticing buyers.

    Remember that the engine being used in that video is the 3.0L 4JJI-TCX with VGS. It has a slim chance of getting into our shores if we based the scenario on what Isuzu PH did with the new D-Max. For me I'll just wait for more reviews and a comparative review with the MY 2014 Trailblazer using the upgraded Duramax Diesel engines.

    It has the same leg room since they have the same wheel base. And by the way, those reviews are made by Australian websites and the location of the reviews are in Thailand. On the proving grounds of Isuzu Thailand. Just to clarify.
