New limited-edition Boondock variant celebrates Isuzu Mu-X’s 5th birthday

October 04,2019

SOME 300 Isuzu vehicles belonging in Team Isuzu Pilipinas, Team Isuzu Car Enthusiast and Mu-X Owners Philippines clubs recently gathered for a day of activities that included a motor show, games and displays of iconic Isuzu vehicles to mark the fifth year in the local market of the Isuzu Mu-X SUV.

During the event, Isuzu Philippines Corp. (IPC) also introduced the new Mu-X Boondock fifth-year anniversary edition. IPC said its latest addition to the Mu-X lineup is defined by more than just aesthetic touches, but also received a lifted suspension (247 millimeters higher) and off-road tires. These are meant for off-road driving, according to IPC.

Completing the variant’s off-road look are gray trim over the fenders, a redesigned front bumper, steel step boards with Boondock logos and fully functional roof rails with cross bars.

The Mu-x Boondock Edition is based on the Mu-X 3.0L LS-A variant. It is powered by the Euro4-compliant 4JJ1-TC Blue Power diesel engine that makes 174hp and 380 Nm. Paired to the engine is a six-speed automatic transmission, which sends power to the rear wheels.

“Introduced in 2014, the Isuzu Mu-X became an instant hit among Filipino families mainly due to its excellent performance, elegant styling and outstanding comfort — factors that are very important for a family vehicle,” said IPC president Hajime Koso.

The Mu-X Boondock Limited Edition comes exclusively in Havana Brown color.
