Isuzu MU-X
Isuzu’s MU-X is cut from the same cloth as its D-Max sibling, and that’s clear the moment you look at its ladder-frame bones and diesel-only lineup. You get the choice between a 1.9-litre and a 3.0-litre turbodiesel, both hooked up to automatics, which makes sense for the kind of people who actually buy these things — families, caravan haulers, folks who’d rather not gamble with CVT voodoo or twin-clutch quirks. With just 13 listings live, ranging from R369,995 up to a heady R959,900, this isn’t a Fortuner-style volume seller. If you’re shopping MU-X, you’re not just browsing — you probably know exactly which engine and spec you want, and you’re not in it for the badge. On paper at least, the 3.0 Onyx XT A/T 4x4 is the flagship, flexing its price tag near the R900k mark and showing up in four out of those 13 ads. For the pragmatists, the 1.9 LS A/T 4x2 sits at R669,900, which—paired with Isuzu’s reputation for indestructible diesels—might just be the sweet spot if you pack smart and stick to tar. Used options stretch back to 2018, with mileage averaging a sensible 63,151 km, suggesting these get treated better than your average school-run SUV. Compared to the Fortuner, the MU-X is quieter inside and rides softer, which matters for those Joburg-to-Durban missions with kids napping in the back. Ford’s Everest leaves it behind on cabin tech, but Isuzu’s pricing is sharper, and for plenty of South Africans, that’s the point.
Isuzu
Isuzu sticks to its guns in South Africa—this is not a brand chasing city-slickers or trying to charm crossover shoppers. You buy an Isuzu because you want a bakkie that’ll haul, tow, and not leave you stranded in Calvinia or Colesberg, and that’s been the formula since the KB’s heyday. With 120 used listings spanning a chunky spread from R138,500 up to R959,900, there’s something for the guy with a sheep dog and a fence to fix, or for the family that wants their double cab with leather, nav, and all the creature comforts. Parked right in the sweet spot is that R369,900 median—exactly where you’d expect the volume to be, and where Isuzu’s up against the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, and Mitsubishi Triton. Owners are loyal, often vocal, and they’ll tell you that 3.0-litre turbodiesel is a badge of honour for a reason. It’s the D-Max that anchors the range now, with 85 listings spread from R199,900 to R899,900, covering everything from battered single cabs to the kind of flagship double cabs you’d happily drive to Nelspruit and back. The old KB soldiers on in the classifieds, starting at R138,500, and if you’re after that bulletproof reputation—on paper at least—you won’t bat an eyelid at the basic spec. Then there’s the MU-X, a proper seven-seater SUV, with 13 listings between R369,995 and R959,900; not many, but enough to prove there’s appetite for a ladder-frame wagon that’ll outlast most family hatchbacks. Every single listing? Diesel. No hybrids, no petrols, no electric. Because Isuzu buyers want torque, range, and an engine you can trust when the nearest fuel stop is a hundred kays away. And that’s the point.
