EXPERT RATING
7.5

Likes

  • Boundless capability and practicality
  • Feels hard-wearing and durable in the cabin
  • Towing a breeze

Dislikes

  • Carryover tech feels dated
  • Design needs D-Max-style freshen-up
  • Price jumps with no new stuff 

The LS-T is the flagship the 2024 MU-X range, offered exclusively with the biggest 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine and a choice of two-wheel drive ($61,400) or four-wheel drive ($67,990 drive-away).

The downside, of course, is that without the option of the smaller 1.9-litre turbo-diesel engine, there’s really nothing new for 2024, save a price increase.

While the D-Max ute has just been updated with a new look, tech and safety, the MU-X is yet to receive the upgrades, which means this trim essentially carries over from 2023.

That means you get 20-inch alloys, leather seats that are heated in the front and remote engine start. You also get the last-gen 9.0-inch central screen, dual-zone climate control and a powered tailgate.

All 4x4 models are plenty capable, too, with '4x4 Terrain Command', '2-High', '4-High' and '4-Low', a rear-diff lock and a 'Rough Terrain' mode which helps with grip and traction on slippery surfaces.

The LS-T’s 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine produces 140kW and 450Nm, and pairs with a six-speed automatic.

Andrew Chesterton
Contributing Journalist
Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold. But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul. And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard. When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House. But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others. More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
