The interior of the MU-X has been overhauled .
INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS
The LS-T is the top-of-the-line MU-X . It has all the bells and whistles in an overall package that so far is hard to fault beyond a couple of small niggles . Without fail , every passenger I ’ ve carried , including my kids , have expressed their admiration , especially over the interior . And I have to admit , it is a massive improvement over the previous-generation MU-X .
One of the key changes to the interior , as found in the LS-T , is a 9in touchscreen infotainment system that includes smart phone mirroring , voice recognition , Android Auto and Apply CarPlay , DAB +, satnav and more . It ’ s the same system you ’ ll find in the topend D-MAX and , having spent a bit of time with that vehicle also , I ’ ve come to appreciate how well this intuitive system truly works .
The interior doesn ’ t really feel more spacious in comparison to the first-generation MU-X , and it contains the same essential features , such as dual-zone climate control , driver and passenger heated seats , airconditioning vents for all three rows , 12 cup holders where you need them , etc . The real change is in the technology , in particular the Intelligent Driver Assistance System ( IDAS ). Again , it ’ s the same system now found in the D- MAX – these vehicles obviously share a great deal of DNA – but I have mostly come to appreciate it .
It includes Autonomous Emergency Breaking with Turn Assist , Forward Collision Warning , Adaptive Cruise Control , Traffic Sign Recognition , Lane Departure Warning , Blind Spot Monitoring … the list goes on . There are even eight airbags .
