ANCAP Safety Report (PDF)

The Isuzu MU-X was first introduced in Australia and New Zealand in August 2021. The MU-X shares much of the front structure and interior with the Isuzu D-MAX, and this rating is based on 2020 and 2022 crash tests of the Isuzu D-MAX in conjunction with additional tests of the MU-X conducted by ANCAP in 2021.

Isuzu MU-X vehicles built from July 2022 are equipped with a revised driver knee airbag and instrument panel that provide improved safety performance. Additional frontal impact tests were conducted on updated vehicles to verify the safety improvement, and this 2022 rating combines the results of the additional 2022 tests with the results of tests conducted in 2020 and 2021. This ANCAP safety rating applies to all MU-X variants built from July 2022.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting, side head-protecting (curtains) and a driver knee airbag are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is also standard on all variants.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car-to-Car and Vulnerable Road User) as well as lane keep assist (LKA) with lane departure warning (LDW), emergency lane keeping (ELK) and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS) are fitted as standard equipment on all variants.
