Isuzu D-Max (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
A truly capable workhorse	The single-cab Utility model has a lower towing limit than the rest of the range
Plenty of creature comforts for lifestyle customers	Expect high fuel bills compared with an SUV's
Excellent safety rating	Expensive to insure

Quick Summary

The Isuzu D-Max (2021-present) is a third-generation pickup truck that successfully bridges the gap between utilitarian workhorse and lifestyle vehicle. Available in three body styles—single cab, extended cab, and double cab—it offers versatility for both commercial and personal use. The cabin is notably more car-like than previous generations, featuring soft-touch plastics, snug seats with extensive adjustment, and modern infotainment systems on higher trims. All models are powered by a 1.9-litre diesel engine with 162bhp, available with manual or automatic transmission, delivering decent low-down torque and impressive agility for a truck.

The D-Max excels in practicality with multiple storage solutions, including four cupholders, large door pockets, and flip-up rear seats in double cab models. Its four-wheel drive system (except entry-level models) provides serious off-road capability with hill descent control and 800mm wading depth. With a 3.5-tonne towing capacity on most versions and a wide range of trim levels—from basic Utility to lifestyle-focused V-Cross—there's a D-Max for most needs. Running costs are reasonable for a truck, though fuel consumption sits in the high 20s to low 30s mpg, and insurance sits in the maximum group 50D.

Best for: Buyers seeking a capable workhorse with lifestyle appeal, those needing genuine off-road ability, and customers wanting a practical alternative to traditional SUVs with attractive company car tax rates.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising fuel economy over capability, buyers on tight budgets concerned about insurance costs, or those requiring maximum towing capacity on entry-level models.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the D-Max if: You need a capable workhorse with lifestyle appeal, require genuine off-road ability, or want a practical alternative to traditional SUVs with attractive company car tax rates.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise fuel economy, are on a tight budget concerned about insurance costs, or require maximum towing capacity on entry-level models.

Competitive Position: The Isuzu D-Max (2021-present) is a strong contender in the pickup market, offering excellent value and capability. Whilst the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux have better value scores and the Skoda Enyaq offers superior expert rating as an electric alternative, the D-Max stands out for its blend of workability and lifestyle credentials. With a dwindling choice in the pickup segment following the departure of Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Mercedes-Benz from the UK market, the D-Max fills a genuine gap. It's a worthy choice for those seeking a versatile vehicle that works equally well as a weekend family transport or a serious working tool.
