Isuzu Ute Australia has reintroduced the MU-X Tour Mate special edition for the 25.5 model year, with the seven-seat SUV available from $79,990 drive away.

Targeting buyers who tow or tour off-road, the Tour Mate is based on the top-spec MU-X LS-T 4×4 and powered by Isuzu’s proven 3.0‑litre turbo-diesel engine producing 140kW and 450Nm, paired with a dual-range 4×4 drivetrain.

The special edition comes with a package of commonly chosen optional genuine towing and touring accessories, which are worth almost $9,000 when fitted separately. This includes a satin black steel bull bar with integrated parking sensors and fog lights, tow bar kit with 50mm ball, 12‑pin wiring harness, electric brake controller, front and rear slimline weather shields, rear cargo liner, rubber floor mats, and a wireless charger.

“With the MU-X Tour Mate having been tremendously well-received last year, we are delighted to be able to return to market with an updated version of our most capable touring and towing model yet,” said Isuzu UTE Australia Managing Director, Mr Junta Matsui.

“The MU-X Tour Mate represents exceptional value as a reliable, rugged and refined vehicle for customers ready to experience the best of the Australian lifestyle, allowing them to go their own way the moment they leave the dealership.”

Other standard features include leather-accented upholstery, 20‑inch alloy wheels, idle stop-start, variably heated front seats, and a nine‑inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Colour options for the Tour Mate include Mercury Silver, Moonstone White Pearl, Mineral White, Obsidian Grey, Magnetic Red, Cobalt Blue and Basalt Black. The new MU-X Tour Mate is available to order now.
