2026 Isuzu D-MAX BLADE Auto 4x4 MY25.5.

The 2026 Isuzu D-MAX BLADE is a highly specified dual-cab ute that combines the practical strengths expected of a work-focused vehicle with a more distinctive and better-equipped presentation. Finished in white with a black interior, this new example has travelled just 15 km and is fitted with Isuzu's 3.0-litre turbo-intercooled diesel engine, paired with a six-speed Sports Automatic transmission and 4X4 Dual Range drive.

At the heart of the D-MAX BLADE is a four-cylinder diesel producing 140 kW and 450 Nm. Its torque delivery is suited to the demands of carrying, towing and low-speed off-road work, while the automatic transmission provides a straightforward driving experience in traffic and on longer journeys. The dual-range four-wheel-drive system broadens the vehicle's capability beyond sealed roads, with active traction control, hill-start assist, hill-descent control and an electric locking differential supporting progress over loose or uneven surfaces.

This is a ute with genuine load-carrying intent. The crew-cab body provides seating for five across four doors, while the tray measures 1570 mm in length and 1530 mm in width. Payload is listed at 901 kg, and the D-MAX can tow up to 3500 kg with a braked trailer. A maximum towball download of 350 kg and trailer sway control add useful support when the vehicle is used with towing equipment, although the suitability of any particular trailer combination depends on the relevant weights and regulations.

The BLADE treatment gives the D-MAX a more purposeful character. Seventeen-inch alloy wheels, side steps, running boards, tow hooks, a skid plate, sports bar and a full-size spare alloy wheel are among the listed equipment. The ute's dimensions and off-road geometry also reflect its intended versatility, with 244 mm of ground clearance and an 800 mm wading depth listed in the specifications.

Inside, the cabin is designed to make everyday use more comfortable without losing the durable character of a dual-cab ute. Heated leather-accented front seats, electric seat adjustment, adjustable lumbar support and dual-zone automatic climate control provide useful comfort for longer periods behind the wheel. Proximity key access, remote keyless entry and push-button starting simplify regular use, while LED headlights, heated and power-folding door mirrors and follow-me-home lighting add convenience.

The technology package is well suited to both work and leisure. A 9-inch touchscreen incorporates Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, GPS navigation and voice recognition, while USB ports and an eight-speaker stereo provide practical connectivity for occupants. Rain-sensing wipers, selectable drive modes and graphical parking assistance further reduce the effort involved in daily driving.

Safety equipment is extensive, with a reversing camera, parking sensors, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring included in the listed features. Forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, rear and front cross-traffic alerts, reverse collision mitigation, high-beam assist, trailer sway control and tyre-pressure monitoring provide additional driver assistance. Eight airbags and electronic stability control are also specified.
