Ski holidays are great in theory: crisp alpine air, scenic drives, and heroic après-ski. In reality, it’s all cold mornings, black ice, and too much gear. And wiping out dismounting the chairlift in front of a dozen teenagers. Never fear! The MU-X LS-T can help with (most of) that.
1. Room for the whole tribe (and the gear)
Seven seats? Check. Massive cargo space when you fold the rear rows? Double-check. Boasting 1,119L with the second row up and 2,138L with all seats folded flat, there’s always space for extra skis, boards, luggage.
2. Infotainment that doesn’t fight you
A 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoTM, plus a pair of USB-C fast charging ports for back-seat devices will entertain grateful hitchhikers and ungrateful teens on any excursion.
3. Bringing the heat
Early starts in ski country can be brutal, especially if your pre-ski ritual involves a dawn drive up the mountain. The LS-T's heated front seats go from ‘nice to have’ to ‘essential survival tool’ as the mercury plummets, while dual-zone climate control with rear passenger vents minimises back-seat moaning.
4. Warm the car from afar
Pre-heat the cabin from inside the chalet by using Remote Engine Start on your key. If you’re within 20m of the vehicle, simply press the lock button once, then press the start button on the key for one second. The engine will then run for up to 10 minutes, allowing your air-conditioning to lift the inside temp from Siberian to snug while you’re still finding your gloves.
5. Touring Toughness Meets Everyday Comfort
This isn’t just another posh crossover pretending to be a rugged SUV. The MU-X LS-T is built on a proper 4×4 platform with genuine dual-range gearing and torque where you need it — low and long — perfect for dragging trailers up mountain passes or beach tracks without breaking a sweat.
6. A safety suite that actually helps
The LS-T's package of Intelligent Driver Assistance System◊ (IDAS) assistance features includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, automatically dimming high beams, and a 360-degree camera∓. Paired with the LS-T's rugged and reliable 4WD engineering, the MU-X in both 2.2L and 3.0L variants is the end result of 120 years of Isuzu engineering. Well over 28 million diesel engines have been built since Isuzu was founded in 1916.
7. Snow Your Own Way towing Power
With every new Isuzu UTE Australia engine now delivering 3.5-tonne braked towing+, you can hitch up a caravan or camper trailer to keep accommodation costs down or bring that hefty jet-ski to confuse fellow occupants of the Smiggins car park.
8. Fuel range for mountain ranges
With a big 80L tank and diesel efficiency that can take you well past the 1,000-kilometre mark between fill-ups the odds of you needing to join the queue at the closest petrol station to the park are drastically reduced.
9. Rugged looks with a hint of sophistication
The snowfields’ tendency to attract alpine poseurs elevates the MU-X's charming combination of practicality performance even further. Twenty-inch alloys, gloss-black accents and muscular stance ensure you don’t just arrive in the first place, you arrive with intent.
10. Peace-of-mind ownership
Isuzu backs you with a 6 year/150,000km^ new vehicle warranty and 7 years Isuzu UTE Roadside Assistance<, meaning it can take you from debutant to double-black diamond demon while still completely covered.
