2026 Isuzu D-MAX SX

The 2026 Isuzu D-MAX SX is a work-focused dual-cab ute that combines a practical cab-chassis layout with the added traction and versatility of a 4X4 dual-range driveline. Finished in Basalt Black Mica and showing just 25 km, this new example is configured for owners who need a vehicle capable of moving between everyday road use, demanding work sites and rougher tracks.

At its centre is Isuzu's 3.0-litre 4JJ3-TCX four-cylinder turbo-intercooled diesel, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The combination provides a straightforward, familiar format for load-carrying and towing duties, while the automatic gearbox reduces driver effort in traffic and during low-speed manoeuvring. The dual-range four-wheel-drive system expands its capability beyond sealed roads, with hill descent control, hill start assist, traction control and a rear differential lock supporting progress where grip is limited.

The cab-chassis body style leaves the rear open for a tray or other task-specific fit-out, allowing the vehicle to be adapted to different operating requirements. A heavy-duty rear leaf suspension, steel plate protection for key underbody areas and a short front overhang further reinforce its practical design. Stated towing capacity is 3,500 kg braked and 750 kg unbraked, while the listed gross vehicle mass is 3,100 kg and gross combined mass is 6,000 kg.

Inside, the D-MAX SX keeps its presentation durable and uncomplicated. Black cloth seating, easy-clean vinyl flooring and manually controlled air conditioning suit a vehicle likely to see regular use. The five-seat dual-cab arrangement provides space for a working crew or family passengers, with split-fold rear seating adding flexibility when people and smaller items need to share the cabin. Rear seat ventilation, power windows and keyless entry provide useful everyday convenience without distracting from the ute's functional purpose.

The infotainment system centres on an eight-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, allowing compatible phones to provide familiar navigation, communication and media functions without relying on a cable. A four-speaker audio system, along with steering-wheel controls for cruise control, audio and voice recognition, keeps the main functions accessible while driving.

Safety equipment is extensive for the class. The D-MAX includes eight airbags, autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and trailer sway control. Lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, emergency lane keeping, traffic sign recognition and an intelligent speed limiter contribute additional assistance on longer journeys. Automatic headlights, automatic high beam and automatic windscreen wipers further reduce the number of routine inputs required in changing conditions.
