2025 Isuzu MU-X TOUR MATE Unveiled with Towing and Touring Enhancements

Isuzu UTE Australia (IUA) has introduced a new addition to its SUV lineup: the 2025 MU-X TOUR MATE. Priced at $73,990 drive away, the vehicle is available to order from October 1st. The model is based on the top-spec MU-X LS-T 4x4 and comes equipped with over $9,200 worth of genuine accessories tailored for towing and touring.

These accessories, included as standard in the TOUR MATE edition, range from towing equipment to external mirrors designed for better visibility. The vehicle includes a satin black steel bull bar, a tow bar kit with a 50mm ball, a 12-pin wiring harness, an electric brake controller, and extendable heated towing mirrors. The package also features TOUR MATE badging, setting it apart from the rest of the MU-X lineup. With these additions, Isuzu aims to cater to motorists seeking a vehicle ready for towing and off-road touring directly from the dealership.

The MU-X TOUR MATE is built on the LS-T variant, which features a 140kW/450Nm 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and dual-range 4x4 drivetrain. It also retains the MU-X’s braked towing capacity of 3.5 tonnes. While the accessories add 102kg to the vehicle, the MU-X continues to offer over half a tonne of payload capacity, which can be critical for those towing or carrying additional gear.

The TOUR MATE package is marketed as providing savings between $9,377 and $12,185 compared to purchasing each accessory individually. It includes both performance upgrades and interior comfort features, such as leather-accented upholstery and 20-inch alloy wheels. Additionally, the vehicle is covered by Isuzu's ‘Service Plus’ customer care program, featuring a five-year Flat Price Servicing program, a six-year warranty, and up to seven years of roadside assistance.

The special edition includes a variety of safety and tech features, such as Isuzu's Intelligent Driver Assistance System (IDAS), which offers active safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warnings. The model’s boot capacity ranges from 311 litres with all seats up to 2,138 litres with the second and third rows folded flat, providing flexible cargo options for various needs.

Available in a selection of standard and premium finishes, the MU-X TOUR MATE aims to enhance Isuzu’s existing SUV offerings for drivers requiring an all-in-one solution for towing and touring.
