NEW LOOK ISUZU D-MAX

The Isuzu D-MAX is a contemporary ute range built around a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine, automatic transmission and four-wheel drive capability. Its combination of torque-focused diesel power and a robust chassis layout gives the range the mechanical foundation expected of a work-oriented ute, while the updated styling and cabin technology make it suitable for everyday driving as well as heavier-duty use.

For the latest D-MAX update, the most visible changes are concentrated at the front and rear of the vehicle. A revised grille, reshaped headlights, redesigned wheels and new tail-lights give the ute a more distinctive appearance without moving it away from its practical purpose. The range continues to offer several body configurations, allowing buyers to choose between passenger-focused double-cab models and cab-chassis variants intended for different load-body applications.

Inside, the refreshed cabin brings revised seat patterns and interior trim details, along with an updated multimedia system. USB-C connectivity adds useful convenience for modern devices, while the available seven-inch digital instrument cluster provides an alternative to the standard display arrangement. Dual-zone climate air-conditioning is listed on the LS Double Cab specification, helping separate driver and passenger temperature preferences during longer journeys.

Four-wheel drive is standard across the displayed D-MAX variants, and the range introduces a rough-terrain driving mode designed to provide a more considered response when surfaces become uneven or loose. The model information also cites a maximum tow rating of 3.5 tonnes, a five-star ANCAP safety rating, 140kW of power and 450Nm of torque. These figures position the D-MAX as a practical option for users who need towing and load-carrying ability without giving up a usable passenger cabin.

• 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine
• Automatic transmission
• Four-wheel drive
• Up to 3.5-tonne tow rating
• Five-star ANCAP safety rating
• Updated multimedia system and USB-C connectivity
