FactIsuzu badged its own front suspension "MOVE" — torsion-bar double wishbones up front, leaf springs out back, a truck-bed setup wearing a passenger SUV body.
The Isuzu MU-7 (model code 510, the Isuzu Alterra in the Philippines) is a D-Max-based SUV with three-row seating, released in Thailand in November 2004 and advertised as a "Sport Utility Wagon"; it has the D-Max's front fascia, chassis and wheelbase but a covered rear end instead of a truck bed, and was sold in Thailand, the Philippines and India with rear-wheel drive or a 4x4 drivetrain. It replaced the Wizard and preceded the MU-X. The one engine at first was the 3.0-litre 4JJ1-TC turbodiesel, with a "MOVE" suspension of torsion-bar-sprung double wishbones at the front and leaf springs at the rear; from the late third quarter of 2006 the drivetrains were named Primo (4x2) and Activo (4x4), with a new 3.0 4JJ1-TCX engine option, a five-speed manual, a MaxMatic-III automatic and a new interior with a wood-trim console. Gold Series trims (gold badges, a navigation entertainment system), Platinum models from 1 November 2008 (platinum-painted engines), Super Platinum models and the MU-7 Choiz (revealed at the April 2011 Bangkok Motor Show, facelifted in December 2011, in 4WD, 2WD 3000 VGS Turbo and 2WD 3000 DDi) followed.

Owning one
An estimate, for the MU-7 3.0 4JJ1-TC turbodiesel trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.
