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) marks a significant evolution in the pickup truck market, moving beyond a purely utilitarian role to become a genuine alternative to traditional cars. Launched in 2021, this third-generation model benefits from a shrinking competitive landscape and boasts aggressive styling with a surprisingly comfortable and refined cabin, featuring more soft-touch plastics and improved driver ergonomics than its predecessors. Available in Single, Extended, and Double Cab configurations, it offers versatile load bed options and practical interior storage, including flip-up rear seats and under-seat compartments in double cab models.

Powered by a 1.9-litre diesel engine delivering 162bhp, the D-Max provides ample low-down grunt, paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox. While the engine can be gruff, its relatively low weight ensures impressive agility for a pickup, complemented by robust suspension for capable off-road performance with switchable 4x4 and a low-range setting. Higher trims like the DL40 and V-Cross enhance the experience with touchscreen infotainment, wireless smartphone connectivity, and advanced safety features, making it a well-equipped, safe, and capable choice for both demanding work and active lifestyle use.

Best for: Buyers seeking a highly capable and versatile pickup for both work and family use, those needing serious off-road ability and towing capacity, or looking for a well-equipped truck with modern creature comforts.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising car-like refinement and quietness, buyers on a tight budget for fuel and insurance, or those who need a fixed-price service package.

Competitive Position: The Isuzu D-Max (2021-present) is a strong contender in a consolidating pickup market, offering excellent capability, versatility, and an increasingly car-like experience.
