New Isuzu D-Max For SA in April 2022

SA Lineup confirmed for new Isuzu D-Max

The new D-Max, with its bold and imposing styling, is bound to ruffle a few feathers when it finally goes on sale in local showrooms.

The D-Max will be built to suit various customer needs and buyers will be able to choose from single-cab, extended-cab and double-cab body styles. Sharing its underpinnings with the new Mazda BT-50, the D-Max will be powered by a revised 3.0-litre turbodiesel engine with 140 kW and 450 Nm in conjunction with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.

But don’t let those outputs fool you, the same engine in the Mazda BT-50 has proven that it’s a strong performer which was clearly evident in our recent 2021 Big Bakkie Bonanza, not to mention that the BT-50 is also currently the second-fastest double-cab bakkie in South Africa. This all bodes very well for the incoming D-Max!

But that’s not all, the D-Max will also be offered with a 1.9-litre turbodiesel engine with 110 kW and 350 Nm of torque.

More so, the new D-Max will undoubtedly look to build on its reputation as a formidable offroad vehicle and will feature 240 mm ground clearance and an 800mm wading depth. Approach, departure and break-over angles are improved too and an electro-magnetic differential lock will also be fitted on 4×4 derivatives.

The new D-Max range starts with the single-cab D-Max which will only be offered with the 1.9-litre engine choice while the extended-cab and double-cab D-Max’s will offer both the 1.9-litre and 3.0-litre turbodiesel engines. Each body style will also be offered in either 4×2 or 4×4 guise.

Trim grades include HR and HR L for the single cab variants while the extended cab derivatives will be offered in HR, HR L, HR LS, HR LSE and LSE trim. As for the double-cab D-Max, trim grades include HR L, L, LS, LSE and range-topping V-Cross trim.

PRICING: New Isuzu D-Max arrives in South Africa with 23-model range

The long-awaited seventh-generation Isuzu D-Max has arrived in South Africa and the Japanese commercial vehicle specialist is confident that the newcomer has what it takes to compete with the best bakkies out there.

As with the previous D-Max, which continues in production as a base model, the new Isuzu D-Max is available in a wide range of derivatives (23 in total), including three body styles, six-speed manual and automatic transmissions, two engine options and 4x2 and 4x4 configurations.

Single Cab models are priced between R401 700 and R528 800, while Extended Cabs command R433 600 to R670 300 and the Double Cabs cost from R498 900 to R814 700. See the full price list below this story.

On the engine front, the previous 2.5-litre unit makes way for a brand new 1.9-litre turbodiesel, which produces 110kW and 350Nm. The flagship engine is an upgraded 3.0-litre unit that’s good for 140kW and 450Nm.

Isuzu says the new model is bigger and more spacious in all key areas, other than the roofline which is 10 mm lower. The bonnet and load area have been heightened by 15 mm and 30 mm respectively, while the wheelbase has been extended by 30 mm for greater optimisation of the cabin structure.
