The Interior
Isuzu's 'universal design' concepts drive development and inclusion of features that are intuitive to use, easy to reach and greatly improve occupant and driver convenience. An abundance of thoughtfully placed storage and cup holders complete the interior giving it a striking sense of design and function. The D-Max offers all of the luxuries expected in modern vehicles.
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 all-new D-Max you will never want to leave.
Comfort
Sculpted sports seats feature a foldable rear centre armrest. Wide front seat rails provide extra comfort for rear passengers, allowing those with larger feet or boots to easily stretch under the front seat. Entering and exiting has been made easier thanks to large door openings. Double sealed doors and an excess of soundproofing makes the D-Max a peaceful and relaxing ride.
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.
Enhanced Performance
Since developing Japan's first air-cooled automotive diesel engine in 1936, Isuzu has continued to build a reputation for world-class diesel engines. 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.
Isuzu 4JJ3 3.0L Engine
The dependable 3.0L 4JJ3 turbo-diesel engine has been given a tickle-up and now produces even more power and torque. Revisions to the high-pressure injector system, electronically controlled variable geometry turbocharger and engine internals result in an extra 10 kW of power, plus another 20 Nm of torque, all while maintaining class-leading dependability.
Terrain Command
The Terrain Command dial in the Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain allows you to shift between 2WD and 4WD Hi mode on the move (up to 100km/h) for improved traction when driving conditions change.
3,500KG Towing Ability
Your search for the perfect travelling companion is over. The D-Max can tow up to 3,500kg. 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 in high winds or on uneven surfaces.
Off-Road Performance
The D-Max's legendary go-anywhere ability has been further improved providing you with a ute that is as at home up in the backcountry hills as it is out on State Highway One. 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.

One of the Safest Vehicles On New Zealand Roads
Redefining the standards for safety, the All-New Isuzu D-Max is the first vehicle to be tested in Australasia against the new stringent 2020 ANCAP testing and rating criteria—achieving a maximum 5 star safety rating across the entire Isuzu D-Max range.
In September 2020, Australasian’s leading independent vehicle safety authority, ANCAP SAFETY published a 5 star safety rating for the All-New Isuzu D-Max, praising it for re-establishing “the safety benchmark for the competitive ute segment.”
“The D-MAX rating has been highly anticipated by fleet and private buyers, and re-establishes the safety benchmark for the competitive ute segment which has traditionally tended to lag that of passenger cars and SUVs,” said ANCAP Director of Communications and Advocacy, Rhianne Robson.
In the official ANCAP statement announcing the maximum 5 star safety rating result, ANCAP commended Isuzu for democratising safety across the entire range, stating that “all variants in the D-Max range – single cab, space cab, double cab, and cab chassis – provide the same high level safety features, technologies and performance as standard.”
Isuzu’s Intelligent Driver Assistance System (IDAS#), which covers an extensive list of both active and passive safety features, is standard across every D-MAX model. Using state-of-the-art sensors and a stereo camera system, the D-MAX 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.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Automatically adjusts your speed based on vehicles around you when cruise-control is activated making open road driving a breeze. (Automatic Transmission only)
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.
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
If your D-MAX detects a potential collision, emergency braking is applied automatically. That's clever and safe technology to help keep you and others safe out on the road.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
An audible warning sounds and red warning lights flash on the dashboard when an obstacle is detected in your path giving you a chance to avoid a collision.
