Stating with its face, the SUV now features a slightly updated grille, which is flanked by a pair of new and more aggressive-looking headlamps with projector lens and LED daytime running lights. The front bumper has also been changed and now the SUV features a more aggressive fog lamp design with dark chrome eyebrow-like inserts. The facelifted MU-X also gets a set of new twin-five-spoke alloy wheels, while the rest of the profile remains unchanged. Isuzu MU-X facelift will also sport revised taillights, new bumper styling and a large roof spoiler at the rear.

The cabin remains largely similar to the existing version but gets new upholstery for the seats, and few new features on offer. Improving safety levels on the SUV, Isuzu is now offering six airbags as standard on the MU-X as opposed to the previously available two.
