CarTell take

We haven't driven the MU-X yet. On paper, X-Terrain flagship at $77,100 plus on-roads pushes past LandCruiser Prado GX money. Cross-shop the Prado if cabin refinement matters.

Why consider it

  • 3,500 kg braked tow standard across the range with body-on-frame ladder chassis, low range and a rear diff lock on the LS-T.
  • 6-year warranty sits above the segment 5-year norm.

What to know

  • 1.9L 4-cylinder is noisier and slower than the 3.0L under load.
  • Cabin plastics feel utilitarian against Sorento and Santa Fe.

Who it suits

Tow rigs, off-roaders, big families and tradies. 7 seats are standard, 3,500 kg braked tow runs across the range, and the body-on-frame ladder chassis with low range makes it genuinely capable off road.
