Isuzu released this latest-generation of the D-MAX ute in July of 2020. It features an evolution of the company’s 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel engine (called the 4JJ3-TCX, which is also found in Isuzu trucks) plus a new platform and a host of advanced safety technology that’s new for Isuzu.
Mazda has a contract with Isuzu to share the design, with minor styling changes, in the current Mazda BT-50.
In addition to the 3.0-litre engine, an entry level 1.9-litre engine is offered in the base-model 4X2 single cab ute.
How a novated lease works on an Isuzu D-MAX
A novated lease on an Isuzu D-MAX means being able to pay for your car and car running costs using your pre-tax salary.
Your employer deducts a regular car payment from your salary before tax is deducted. This arrangement with your employer is known as salary sacrificing a car. It means you pay less income tax.
The car running costs you can include in your novated lease include: charging registration and CTP, comprehensive car insurance, servicing, tyres, car washes.

Cab styles
If you’ve never bought a ute before, the range can be quite confronting, with three different cab styles: single cab, dual cab and, somewhere in the middle, space cab versions. However, not all cab styles are typically available in all model grades - highest-spec models tend to be dual-cab only.
In addition, there are pickups (with a body coloured ‘tub’ for cargo) or ‘cab chassis’ options (where you add your own alloy or steel tray). And, if that’s not enough to consider there are also 4X4 and 4X2 powertrains, with 4X2 offered in conventional (car-like) ride height, as well as ‘high ride’ with additional ground clearance.
Isuzu D-MAX engine
Isuzu leverages its reputation for reliability in the trucking industry into the D-MAX range, but peak outputs on the latest engine (140kW and 450Nm) don’t quite match that of Hilux’s 2.8 (150kW and 500Nm), although the D-MAX’s fuel economy is slightly better than Hilux, on the official ‘combined cycle test (8.0 litres per 100km versus 8.4).
The D-MAX has a very basic 4WD system comprising 2WD for high traction surfaces and 4WD for low traction, in both high and low range. If you’re looking for a ute with a more sophisticated AWD system, where you can use 4WD (high) on bitumen and good dirt roads for increased surefootedness, essentially you need to compare higher grades of Mitsubishi’s Triton - the GLS or GSR.

There are also several options for financing an Isuzu, ranging from a standard car loan, to a novated lease or commercial finance.
In summary
Like most competitors, D-MAX offers 3.5 tonnes of tow capacity, but in practice this is very difficult to achieve (legally) - especially on vehicles carrying a significant payload of people, gear (in the tray) or accessories. In the real world, 2.5 to 3.0 tonnes is far more realistic in the towing domain.
D-MAX is very competitive on spec levels. At the top of the range the vehicle comes fully loaded with leather, Apple and Android phone integrations, a rear diff lock, smart key with pushbutton start and adaptive cruise control.
