2024 Isuzu MU-X Summary

Big, seven-seat 4WDs mean big, thirsty engines, right? Well, not anymore.

Meet the 2024 Isuzu MU-X, the top-selling D-Max ute's SUV sibling. And what’s ‘new’ for 2024? Well, only one thing, really. But it’s pretty important.

That one thing is the option of a smaller 1.9-litre turbo-diesel engine, joining the existing 3.0-litre option, which the brand promises will reduce fuel use without overly reducing capability.

So, is it a worthy addition to the range? Let’s find out, shall we?

2019 Infiniti Q30 Summary

Welcome to the future - where your Mercedes-Benz is a Nissan and your Nissan is a Mercedes-Benz. 

Lost already? Let me catch you up. Infiniti is the premium arm of Nissan, in much the same way Lexus is the premium arm of Toyota, and the Q30 is Infiniti’s hatchback. 

Thanks to the state of various global manufacturing alliances the Q30 is mechanically, largely a previous-generation Mercedes-Benz A-Class, with a similar arrangement seeing the new Mercedes-Benz X-Class ute comprised largely of Nissan Navara underpinnings.

Recently, the Q30 has had its range of variants trimmed from a confusing five down to two, and the one we’re testing here is the top-spec Sport.

Make sense? I hope so. The Q30 Sport joined me on an 800km trip along the east coast in the height of summer. So, can it make the most of its German/Japanese roots? Read on to find out.
