December 2, 20169 yr Which one is the best? The new Blue power engine or the old 2,5? Specs are better on the 1,9, I know that. But what about in real life experience, did any of you drive cars with both engines? And can give me your impressions? Specially interested in the versions with automatic gearbox. 2,5 with old gear box vs 1,9 with the new 6 speed auto.
December 2, 20169 yr Last year I bought a new Isuzu V-Cross. That's the 4X4 model. Two different dealers told me that I would get better fuel economy with the 3.0 liter engine. I was told that the 2.5 liter was going to be phased out because it wasn't that powerful or efficient. I am very happy with the 3.0 liter. If I were buying a new Isuzu and wanted the best fuel economy, I would choose the new Blue Power. If buying another 4X4, I'd still buy the 3.0 liter. I really do like the power.
December 2, 20169 yr In an independant test i saw , on a flat road , unloaded and at a steady pace , the 1.9 gave nearly 14 KM/L. The 3.0 gave 12.5 KM/L. When loaded or worked , towing uphill , the 3.0 will be less "stressed" , and give better fuel economy. Should also give a longer life.
December 3, 20169 yr I see they have 1.9 and X. I this a new version of the MU7? Do they not make the MU7 anymore?

December 7, 20169 yr Author No Isuzu fans in here? Surprisingly few answers Does the 2016 3.0 L have the new 6 speed auto? Or does they still use the old one?
