2024 Isuzu D-MAX Review | One of Australia’s best and most popular utes is now ever better

The Isuzu D-MAX is one of Australia’s best utes and it just got a little better 👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
The Isuzu D-MAX is living proof that time helps improve the breed. Rated one of the best dual-cab 4x4 utes available when the third generation launched in 2020, it has received several updates since then.
For 2024 the process has been quite substantial with the D-MAX’s design, tech and safety features all receiving attention. Oh yeah, prices have gone up between $500 and $3000 as well.
The comprehensive D-MAX range continues to be capped by the flagship X-Terrain we’re testing here, which has added its own improvements on top of what the rest of the range gets.
All these changes add up to be quite a significant upgrade that runs more than skin deep, but whether they can maintain the D-MAX’s place in the pecking order at the top of the ute segment is another question.

What a fair and perfect review... no bias whatsoever. Reviewed the product as is. Not the car journos that review Vans as though everything should ride like an X5. Hands down the best van review to date. Well DONE!

[@trevorevans7101]

Good review. You did forget to mention the V6 Amarok. 🙂

[@wingzero743]

Can the usb c ports be use in the older models ? Are they transferable

[@arlie1981]

Did they fix the excessive bump steer?

[@user-lo8go6iq2o]

Nice and good Dmax

[@Barra.The.World.]

Pretty sporty for an Isuzu D-MAX

[@mattblomberg2709]

Class action now underway for the bump steer issue. Register at Chamberlains Law Sydney.

[@Dan-rg7jj]

It's very much the same car as the 2016-20 RG ii Colorado with better finishes, sharper lines, a few more screens and buttons and reach adjustment. Does it even have the electric steering like the Coloraodo got out of the VF commodore? Probably not.

[@sinbadcosta3277]

Hey, the Dmax got electric steering back in 2020

[@666dualsport]

if it was v6 as an option they would be worth looking at

[@BelloBudo007]

Just curious if any of those annoying electronic gizmos that rule out the Triton (motor shuts off while waiting & gadget watching the drivers eyes that requires response from the driver). I neither want nor need gadgets. Just a straight-up reliable ute. And can an ARB type of canopy be fitted to the D-Max?

[@DnosSFS]

I just picked up a Triton 3 days ago just hit 220km on the clock. The auto stop and go is turned off with one button press, no reason to even consider that as a negative. In my small city it's kind of pointless, but i can see myself loving it when I travel to a big city with traffic queues Now the driver monitor. Yes, when it's dark it is the most annoying thing ever. Every 10 seconds its beeps at you. During the day, it's mostly silent. Unless I drive with one hand centre of the wheel. Turning it off isn't that bad really, roughly 7 scrolls of the dial and 2 pushes and its off. No need to stop to turn it off. These gizmos shouldn't turn any competent person away from the Triton. The truck is well built, solid yet smooth, Plenty of power, On road 4WD is amazing,comfortable interior, Mitsi has previously proved reliability and personal opinion looks far better than a Dmax and Hilux

[@BelloBudo007]

@@DnosSFS Thank you. Your efforts are much appreciated. I will now continue looking at the Triton. Must say my two Pajero's have been very good cars. It was really just the gadgets that had me wondering. I prefer low tech & get that the world changes.

[@DnosSFS]

@@BelloBudo007 I get the low tech comment, I upgraded from a 2003 Triton MK

[@franktautsagae5770]

Isuzu hasn't done enough on the looks and that matters to buyers

[@richardwalsh5570]

Needs way more go, nm and kw

[@alexclarke373]

I ordered mine a year ago and still don’t have it. I’m a bit torn about getting the new one. I think it looks kind of shit 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@wooh80]

are the wait times still that bad?

[@cooney3994]

Ordered my 2023 X Terrain in June, received confirm build in August and picked it up late November, so no wait times are not that bad anymore.

[@pravinemrith211]

Just to Correct, it does not have wireless charging,

[@adamcrea3547]

added extra

[@gowengetter4599]

Toyota re-sell value is second to none.

WHATS THE MOST EXOTIC CAR I CAN GET FOR 40K?

[@ev0wat]

Most likely a china car

[@EliPerlman]

@@ev0wat like what

[@shaun1900]

Every comment about this Ute is OK for a Ute, which means, noise, ride, handling, fuel economy, comfort are co,promised by modern car standards, but hey it looks tough for a “perceived” lifestyle that this brings people when they visit macca’s or the local shopping centre in their 67k truck.

[@MegaRich7]

6 year/150k warranty shows they don't have confidence in their product.

[@grantwells6189]

I have a late 2022. Been very disappointed. Very underperforming. The least power and torque on the market. Isuzu is always behind the competition.

[@mcmahonrobert5981]

3.0 liter?

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

70k seems overpriced concidering its just a ute with very little features & confort.

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

This guy calls Isuzu an eye-zoo-zoo.

[@dominikodaurewa]

Meaning what exactly?
