Isuzu MU-7 With Automatic Transmission Coming Soon

We'd told you about Isuzu bringing in the MU-X 7 in India for R&D, but now the company will soon be launching the automatic variant of the MU-7 SUV. The MU-7 is the old-school muscular SUV, which has its appeal in a country like India and an automatic variant will add to what the company has to offer here and justify the price tag too.

This SUV doesn't grin one bit with its wide-toothed grille, sharp headlamps, and the bold intercooler intake shows off a bit of personality. If you compare it to the likes of the Fortuner, it is not as wide or tall as it, but the MU-7 is over 250 mm longer with a very impressive 3 metre long wheelbase.

The long, heavy MU-7 gets only 16-inch alloys, while the Fortuner gets 17-inch alloys. The rear looks a little more sedate but does offer a large windscreen with neatly done taillights and reflectors on the big bumper.

Under the hood of this car breathes a 3.0-litre, four-cylinder intercooled engine which is capable of 160 bhp and develops 360 Nm of torque. In addition to the 5-speed manual transmission which is on offer, Isuzu will now bring in the automatic transmission. There are features on the front and rear seat of the car. The rear passenger seat has features like a roof mounted DVD monitor, 2 AC vents with controls and cup holder on the doors.

The third row of this 7-seater comes with AC vents too and large seats but has a slightly lower seating position. These seats fold to give you generous cargo space in the boot. Currently the MU-7 offers only dual airbags for the driver and the passenger.
