Isuzu Passive Entry & Start comes to the D-MAX and MU-X.

The upper-spec versions of the very popular Isuzu MU-X SUV and D-MAX ute are getting a couple of new features for 2015.

Isuzu Ute Australia used their Facebook page to announce that the top-spec LS-T grade of the MU-X and the special edition D-MAX LS-Terrain will now feature Isuzu’s Passive Entry & Start System.

The system allows owners to lock and unlock their vehicle simply with the new smart key in their pocket, same goes with starting the engine via the new push-button ignition on the dash.

For the record, the seven-seat Isuzu MU-X LS-T is priced from $54,000; you can pick up a D-MAX in LS-Terrain trim from $50,800.
