It’s on its way
The first Isuzu MU-X was shipped to South Africa earlier this year, news that follows the auto manufacturer’s announcement of their plans to launch their business operations locally. After GM left South Africa, Isuzu established independent operations in Port Elisabeth, which was officially launched in February. Isuzu has business operations in 30 countries and their 47 manufacturing plants are run with partners. Isuzu’s operations in South Africa are their first completely independent venture outside of Japan. Isuzu has established a reputation in South Africa for their reliable and quality vehicles. Isuzu KBs are renowned for their superior ride quality when traveling on gravel and the MU-X is set to take this performance up a notch.
