The Interior
Isuzu's is all about inclusion of features that are intuitive to use, easy to reach and have driver convenience in mind always. The new look 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 embobodies being functional, relaxing and attractive. That doesn't sound too bad eh?
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 durable multi-function 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 LX Double Cab feature a unique 60/40 split fold up/down configuration allowing for extra storage space in the rear of the cab.
The 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 is the heart of the D-MAX. 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 is as at home up in the backcountry hills as it is out on SH1. Wading depth is 800mm for those extra deep crossings, whilst 4x4 models include a rear differential lock for improved traction on slippery surfaces. For on-road excursions, there is a range of electronic driving aids to keep you on the straight and narrow.
3500kg Towing Ability
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.

Safety
Standard across the range, Isuzu’s Intelligent Driver Assistance System (IDAS) technology includes an extensive list of both active and passive safety systems. Employing state-of-the-art sensors and a stereo camera, IDAS constantly monitors your surrounding environment for danger. Should it detect a collision is imminent, the system will work to help the driver to defuse dangerous situations via alert systems and automated functions. Each D-MAX model includes eight airbags as standard and a stronger, more robust chassis, as well as a reinforced cabin safety cell for ultimate protection.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Automatically adjusts your speed based on vehicles around you when cruise-control is activated making open road driving a breeze.
Driver Attention Assist (DAA)
Your D-MAX recognises traffic signs, displaying information such as speed limits in the Multi-Information Display (MID) for easy reference.
Mis-Acceleration Mitigation
In slow-moving areas such as car parks, the stereo cameras determine whether the accelerator has been applied accidentally. Should a potential collision be detected, the brakes are automatically applied.
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
If your D-MAX detects a potential collision, your D-MAX will first apply a Forward Collision Warning (FCW), then emergency braking is applied automatically, keeping you and others safe out on the road
Lane Keeping Assist System
Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) work to help prevent collisions with other drivers should your D-MAX begin to drift across its lane.
Blind Spot Monitoring System (BSM)
BSM provides a visual warning in your side mirrors when an obstacle is approaching in your blind spot. A must-have safety feature when out on the open road.
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.
8 Airbags For Full Coverage
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 D-MAX utilises 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
The D-MAX has built-in rain-sensing wipers, ensuring you never lose sight of the road in wet weather conditions.
Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)
If an emergency braking manoeuvre is performed the taillights will flash to warn following drivers to slow down.
Front & Rear Parking Sensors
Front & rear parking sensors provide instantaneous feedback regarding nearby obstacles whilst conducting reversing maneuvers.
