For the Driven Dad: Why the New Isuzu mu-X is the Ultimate Father’s Day Gift

Jun 15, 2025 | NEWS

The modern dad wears many hats. Not only are they steadfast providers, they’re also dutiful family chauffeurs, savvy business hustlers, hands-on home heroes, and fun-loving weekend adventurers.  

Because dads can do it all while taking the lead, they need a trusty companion who can do the same—like the Isuzu mu-X, a seven-seater SUV that packs a punch. Celebrate the unstoppable energy of modern dads this Father’s Day with the vehicle that matches their strength, versatility, and heart. 

Here’s why the Isuzu mu-X should be your next Father’s Day gift: 

Designed for the Dad Who Does Everything 

Dad’s daily grind involves a lot: school runs, site visits, errands, and on top of that the occasional road trips on weekends. He needs a reliable SUV that can keep up with his needs and help him carry the load. 

The Isuzu mu-X is built to do just that. Nobody will be left behind with this seven-seater SUV fit for the whole family, with its spacious cabin with ergonomic seating. Family members can also go in and out easily and modify settings to their liking, as each row has multi-way adjustable seats and headrests. Don’t forget to place your drinks in the cupholders at the center armrest of the second row, so everyone can stay hydrated! 

When loading all your needs, whether it’s gear, groceries, or golf bags, there’s still plenty of space left in the back cargo area. Since the second and third rows are 60/40 and 50/50 split folding bench types respectively, you can fold them over to make more room. Like Dad, the mu-X is strong enough to carry it all.  

Style and Strength in One SUV 

The new mu-X just got a significant redesign, and its latest bold exterior commands presence—just like Dad. It has a striking new radiator grille with a black titanium carbide material finish, partnered with dynamic blade headlights that not only add an aggressive edge to the front fascia but also improves visibility. The front bumper also has a fierce fighter jet design with air curtains for enhanced aerodynamics, while the 20” Dynamic Turbine Design Wheels add both style and stability. The rear design is no slouch with its new “embrace” line concept combination lamps that not only signals your next move but also makes a bold impression.  

The overall design exudes a tough yet elegant and commanding look, premium enough for Dad’s visits to the boardroom and rugged enough for backyard barbecues and off-road adventures.  

Power When He Needs It, Comfort All the Time 

Dad needs a reliable partner that can help him ease his heavy burden. Luckily, the mu-X’s 4JJ3-TCX 3.0L Blue Power engine produces 190 PS Max Power and 450 N-m Max Torque, capable of long drives during weekend getaways and carrying cargo during daily errands, whether it’s boxes full of groceries or new furniture you’re about to assemble.  

The mu-X also features a smooth automatic transmission, which makes rides to and from work stress-free even during unpredictable stop-and-go traffic. The robust chassis design as well as the six-speed transmission also ensures that the ride is smooth, responsive, and stable. If the family wants to go on an off-road adventure, the 4x4 Rough Terrain Mode can handle any challenging condition.  

Tech-Savvy Like Today’s Dads 

The modern dad has adapted to the technology of today, and so has the mu-X. The SUV boasts a 10.1” full touchscreen Infotainment System along with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ so Dad can seamlessly integrate his smart phone for a smarter drive. He can call and give updates on his way home from work, play the family’s favorite playlist, and fire up a navigation app during trips. The whole family can also take advantage of the Wireless Charger and USB ports to keep their gadgets up and running.  

With the mu-X, Dad can also enjoy the convenience of keyless entry, remote start, and customizable infotainment.  

Built for Family Bonding 

The mu-X being spacious is a fact that’s worth mentioning again; it’s roomy and cozy even when the whole family is inside. There’s enough leg room so you don’t cramp up during visits to the province, and the Dual-Zone air conditioning can keep the fam cool and happy. Adding to the coziness factor is the ambient lighting, perfect for when the road trip reaches sundown. Little ones can also be safe and comfy, as the second row has child seat tethers, and the rear doors have child proof locks.  

The family will be able to share plenty of stories and dad jokes for years to come.  

Taking the Lead in Safety  

As the protector of the family, Dad needs a vehicle that’s packed with the latest safety features like the Isuzu mu-X, the first and only SUV in its class with a built-in Digital Video Recorder (DVR). This can record continuously and ensures enhanced security with its dual or single view replay and proximity recording across all cameras.  

The mu-X is also equipped with a 360 Around View Monitor (AVM), a system that utilizes strategically placed cameras around the vehicle to reduce blind spots and assist the driver during tricky parking maneuvers and tight spots. Adding to its arsenal of safety tech is the Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) powered by Smart DUO Camera and Rear Radars which provide better protection and prevention from possible dangerous incidents.  

These state-of-the-art safety features, along with its overall durable structure, made the Isuzu mu-X garner a coveted 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating. 

Final Thoughts:  

This Father’s Day don’t just thank Dad—equip him. The new Isuzu mu-X is more than just a vehicle; it’s a partner in all the journeys he takes for his family. Tough, refined, and always dependable — just like him. 

Celebrate the dad who never stops driving forward. Head to your closest dealer and test drive the new Isuzu mu-X today and see why it’s the perfect ride for the modern man of the house.
