New Isuzu D-Max makes its local debut

One of the most anticipated newcomers in the local vehicle market is the new Isuzu D-Max bakkie range just launched locally and also manufactured right here in South Arica.

D MAX 3 0 Ddi Double Cab V Cross 4x4 A T 04 1800x1800

The 24-strong line-up of Single Cab, Extended Cab and Double Cab models available has two engine options, five specification levels, manual and automatic transmissions, and they are available in 4x2 or 4x4 guise.

The new Isuzu is bigger and more spacious in all key areas, other than the roofline which is 10 mm lower than the previous model. The bonnet and load area have been heightened by 15 mm and 30 mm respectively, while the wheelbase has been extended by 30 mm. The load box design has released additional loading capacity, with up to 15 mm added to the bed-floor length and an extra 30 mm in depth for the box sides.

Overall interior space has been improved with increased legroom at the rear. The rear seat positions have been moved outward for a 20 mm increase in shoulder room.

All new ISUZU D-MAX models come standard with impressive safety credentials such as Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BAS). Also added to the mix are Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control, Hill Start Assist (HSA), Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Trailer Sway Control.

The range-topping V-CROSS raises the benchmark even further, as it boasts an Intelligent Driver Assist System (IDAS) that incorporates a comprehensive suite of active and passive safety features. It includes advanced features such as Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) and Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Parking Aid (front and rear) and Multi Collision Brake (MCB) that will automatically apply the brakes when the airbags are deployed.

The new range is available with a choice of two diesel engines. Isuzu’s 1.9-litre Ddi powerplant is new to the Isuzu line-up and is standard on all Single Cab models. It’s available on Extended Cab and Double Cab derivatives delivering 110 kW and 350 Nm.

Available on mid- to high-series Extended Cab and Double Cab models, the upgraded 3.0 Ddi engine with 140 kW and 450 Nm. A choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions is available.
