D-MAX LS-M

A little bit of everything

2024 d-max ls-m

2024 LS-M brings a new look and some handy new features, but it hasn't forgotten its hard-working roots. Powered by Isuzu's legendary 3-litre turbo diesel engine, the LS-M still brings 3,500kg of braked towing power and enough grunt to get through the muck. 

The new look LS-M is loaded with luxuries like intelligent cruise control and an improved reversing camera, perfect for when you're in a tight spot. But don't worry; it still sports those trusty features you loved in the last model, such as dual-zone climate aircon for those scorchers, rear parking sensors, tailgate assist when you're juggling gear, and a 9-inch touchscreen with sat nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The EXTERIOR

The 2024 D-MAX range has arrived with a new look, and the D-MAX LS-M is no different, sporting a bold new two tone radiator grill guaranteed to turn heads. If you're after fancy tech, the LS-M brings that too, with handy exterior features such as daytime running lights or rain sensing wipers to help you get around, no fuss.

led headlights with drl

The LS-M is equipped with powerful and durable LED headlights for excellent visibility under all conditions. These are combined with LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) for added safety whilst out on the open road

ELECTRIC WINDOWS & MIRRORS

 Electric windows are standard on the D-MAX, easy as that. As an added luxury, the exterior mirrors are also electrically adjustable from the cabin. 

17" WHEELS

Durable and purposeful 17"alloy wheels ensure that the D-MAX LS-M can handle any condition thrown at it. Included are high quality All-Terrain (AT) tyres for ultimate road-holding on any surface.

redesigned Black Grille

Strong, bold and distinctive, the new 2024 LS-M has a matte black double grill that features the Isuzu logo loud and proud.

The Interior

Isuzu is all about inclusion of features that are intuitive to use, easy to reach and have driver convenience in mind always. The 2024 D-MAX is no different, thoughtfully designed to make the driver, and passengers life easier. It was also developed with Isuzu's "Hexa-Pod" concept in mind, a design philosophy that embodies being functional, relaxing and attractive. That doesn't sound too bad eh?

Design

When designing the interior of the all-new D-MAX the engineers were given a directive to use an airplane cockpit as inspiration. This means that control ergonomics, occupant comfort, material quality & durability, and driver visibility are key priorities. The team at Isuzu Utes nailed the brief, once you jump in the 2024 D-MAX you will never want to leave.

Comfort

Sculpted sports seats featuring a foldable rear centre armrest. Wide front seat rails provide for large boots/feet to easily slip under the front seat for rear passengers. Entry and exit have been made easier thanks to large door openings. Double sealed doors and an excess of soundproofing make the D-MAX a peaceful and relaxing ride.

Internal storage

With 10 different positions for cups or bottles, the upper front console provides storage for tissues and has a 12v 120-watt power socket for added convenience. The upper center console storage, under steering wheel storage, deep door pockets, and seatback pockets provide storage solutions for those easily misplaced but much-needed items.

Multi-function steering wheel

The comfortable leather-bound steering wheel puts Bluetooth, audio and cruise controls at your fingertips so you can concentrate on the road ahead.

Rear seat split fold

The rear seats of the LS feature a unique 60/40 split fold up/down configuration allowing for extra storage space in the rear of the cab.

enhanced Performance

2024 D-MAX incorporates Isuzu's signature 3L turbo-diesel engine as standard. This stems from almost 90 years of experience producing diesel engines, beginning way back in 1936 when developing Japan's first air-cooled automotive diesel engine. Constant technological improvements, innovations and in-depth experience across the production of more than 26 million diesel engines means Isuzu is an established global leader in developing capable and efficient engines for all kinds of applications. 

ISUZU 4JJ3 3.0L ENGINE

The dependable 3.0L 4JJ3 turbo-diesel engine has been given a tickle up and now produces more power and torque. The advanced high-pressure injector system, electronically controlled variable geometry turbocharger and engine internals result in 140 kW of power plus 450 Nm of torque all while maintaining class-leading dependability.

OFF ROAD PERFORMANCE

The D-MAX's legendary go-anywhere ability has been further improved providing you a ute that is as at home up in the backcountry hills as it is out on SH1. Wading depth has been increased to 800mm for those extra deep crossings, whilst 4x4 models now include a rear differential lock for improved traction on slippery surfaces. For on-road excursions, there is a range of new electronic driving aids to keep you on the straight and narrow.

3500KG TOWING ABILITY

Tow up to 3500kg*. Your search for the perfect travelling companion is over. Isuzu’s legendary 3-litre turbo diesel engine delivers high torque across the range, making light work of a caravan, boat, or trailer. Trailer Sway Control (TSC) assists with towing and will assist with towing in high winds or on uneven surfaces.

*3,500kg Braked Towing

Terrain command

On top of a 6 speed atransmission, the Terrain Command dial in the Isuzu D-MAX 4x4 allows you to shift between 2WD and 4WD Hi mode on the move (up to 100km/h) for improved traction when driving conditions change.

LADDER RAIL CHASSIS

The ladder rail chassis of the D-MAX is 8 kg lighter than ever whilst being 20% more rigid. This assists with towing performance and on/off road performance.

HILL DESCENT CONTROL

This feature electronically applies the brakes to ensure a smooth, controlled descent, giving you the confidence to tackle the trickiest downhill terrain.

technology

The all-new D-MAX brings an entire new level of technology to the range. LS-M models include a 8" touchscreen multimedia system complete with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto phone mirroring capability allowing you to project sat nav directions, play music, make and receive calls and more. For the owner that spends plenty of time on the open road, all D-MAX models also include adaptive cruise control which automatically adjusts your speed depending on the vehicle in front of you.

passive safety technology

 Careful attention to detail allows Isuzu to deliver higher levels of passive safety features. Safety features like multiple airbags, parking sensors, a reversing camera and automatic lights/wipers provide piece of mind under all situations.

fitted with 8 airbags

The new D-MAX is fitted with dual front airbags, side impact airbags, curtain airbags, driver knee airbag and a segment first front centre airbag, providing excellent level of safety to all occupants.

AUTOMATIC LIGHTS & HIGH BEAM

Day or night? Rain or shine? The new D-MAX takes a few of the little inconveniences under its wing like automatic light control.  including a light sensor that turns headlights on or off depending on the time of day and will control headlight beams if oncoming traffic is detected.

HSA AND HDC systems

The Hill Start Assist (HSA) function engages automatically on significant gradients to prevent the Isuzu D-Max rolling when moving from a stationary position. The Hill Descent Control (HDC) allows a smooth hill descent at a controlled speed. 

AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSING WIPERS

Every D-MAX has built-in rain-sensing wipers, ensuring you never lose sight of the road or trail ahead.
