Meet the new

D-MAX X-Rider

meet the 2024 D-Max x rider

Introducing the newest variant to our D-MAX family, the new X-Rider. She comes with unique body styling, including a sports bar, running boards, tonneau cover and dark grey highlights guaranteed to turn your neighbour's head. Under the hood? A gutsy 3-litre turbo diesel engine with all the grunt and towing power you need. 

The X-Rider also brings a flash interior design with black headlining. But don't worry, with the amount of tech handy, she's more than just a pretty face. The tailgate assist is like having an extra pair of hands, and the 8" wide touchscreen is not far off having a new flatscreen in your car, offering satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. We also haven't lost sight of what's important, bringing a wider reversing camera to the table, making backing up to the woolshed or the boat ramp a piece of cake. 

The Isuzu 2024 X-Rider - a bloody good ute for those who don't mind getting their hands dirty, but still appreciate a bit of comfort at the end of the day.

The EXTERIOR

2024 D-MAX brings a new look to all models across the D-Max range, with the new X-Rider taking elements of the our highest spec model, the X-Terrain, to create it's own unique styling. It still has all the external features you'd grow to expect from the D-MAX, along with a couple extra to keep things interesting. 

X-Rider is equipped with a Black Sports Bar, redefined Front Grille and 18" Glossy Black Alloy Wheels. Plus, with the legendary Isuzu 3.0L turbo-diesel engine, 5-star ANCAP safety, 4x4 Terrain Command, wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto, the Isuzu D-MAX X-Rider is your ultimate travelling companion.

led HEADLIGHTS

The X-Rider 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

Sports bar & Tonneau

This stylish satin black Sports Bar is a welcomed tough and functional addition, seamlessly pairing with the included soft tonneau cover. The striking Sports Bar also features a high mounted stop light to enhance brake light visibility. 

17" BLACK ALLOY WHEELS

Kitted out with powerful looking 17" alloy wheels, the X-Rider ensures that your D-MAX will catch eyes at every stop on your drive. These are combined with All-Terrain (AT) tires for extra traction whilst off the beaten track.

redesigned Black Grille

Strong, bold and distinctive, the X-Rider's matte black double grill 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 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 X-Rider 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 advanced 3.0 litre turbo-diesel engine produces 140kW and an avalanche of torque on demand, with 450Nm available from just 1,600 through to 2,600rpm. This provides exceptional take-off and acceleration with a broad, flat torque band aiding overall drive-ability - also perfect for when carrying a load, or towing up to 3,500KG braked.

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 transmission, 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. The 4x4 variants now come with Rough Terrain Mode also, which works alongside the rear diff-lock to provide a new lease on traction.

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 start & DESCENT CONTROL

Take on any challenge with these handy features. They work to prevent roll-back when climbing a steep gradient, and gives you confidence on a controlled descent by electronically applying the brakes to ensure a smooth trip down.

technology

The 2024 D-MAX brings an entire new level of technology to the range. The X-Rider includes a advanced 8.0" touchscreen multi-media system complete with wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto phone mirroring capability allowing you to project maps, play music, make and receive calls and more. For the owner that spends plenty of time on the open road, X-Rider models also include adaptive cruise control which automatically adjusts your speed depending on the vehicle in front of you. 

usb-c CHARGING capability

It's hard to keep up with technology sometimes, especially bloody phone companies changing the chords every year. 2024 D-MAX has USB-C capability, just to make your life a bit easier. 

APPLE CARPLAY® &* ANDROID AUTO™

The 8" wide infotainment system boasts clear crisp graphics and features wireless Android AutoTM & wireless Apple Car Play®.

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. (Automatic Transmission only).

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 all-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.
