After the successful introduction of its Blue Power models in Manila, Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has formally introduced its latest light commercial model lineup to Metro Cebu market.

Held at the posh North Wing Atrium in SM City Cebu, Isuzu displayed its latest lineup of Isuzu D-Max pick-up and its best-selling Isuzu mu-X SUV.

Both the Isuzu D-Max and mu-X now carries the new 4JJ1-TCX EURO 4 engine that can deliver up to 177 PS and has a maximum torque of 380 N-m. Engineered with the Blue Power technology, this engine is set to provide maximum engine output, cleaner emission, superb fuel economy while maintaining Isuzu’s renowned engine durability.

Adding to its safety and driver assist features, the D-Max now comes with a Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control which enables the driver to operate at ease even at an inclined terrain. Isuzu also gave it an upgraded cabin with its new soft-pad interior and a piano black interior accent, keeping it close to its sporty yet sophisticated exterior. For on-board entertainment, the D-Max is always ready as it now has multiple USB ports located at its front dashboard assembly as well as ports for its second-row passengers located at the center console.

The mu-X, however, was given a facelift with its new Bi-LED projector headlamp with integrated day time running lamps, that is also equipped with an auto-headlight leveling, which not only makes the mu-X look more powerful but is actually assisting driver’s visual while on the road.

To match its new headlamp, the mu-x also has a redesigned chrome radiator grille coupled with the aerodynamically designed front bumper. In its rear, the mu-X now has a new horizontal type with LED positioning rear lamps for better visibility. Capping-off its exterior, the mu-X now has a new design 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, giving it better stance and smoother ride.

Different upgrades are also available inside the cabin; to start, the mu-X now has new instrument panel with MID, and an 8-inch entertainment system with USB link and text to speech navigation. Premium leather quilt-stich design seats and door trims, while a sophisticated blue ambient light and piano black garnish can be found on each door. Finally, just like the D-MAX, the mu-X now has a Hill Descent Control which is in addition to its list of safety features.
