ISUZU D-MAX

The first thing you’ll notice is that the Isuzu D-MAX is big and long – perfectly proportioned in fact, and aerodynamically efficient.
The Isuzu D-MAX’s design is the result of extensive computer analysis and wind tunnel testing in facilities around the world. It has one of the lowest coefficients of drag (Cd) in its class. The roof has been designed to direct airflow over the tailgate, reducing drag and improving fuel economy, performance and levels of cabin noise. One of the results of this intensive testing, is a best in class fuel efficiency for the 3.0 litre D-TEQ engine.

There is much to enjoy once you’re inside the Isuzu D-MAX. For starters, it has a passenger-car-like interior that strikes the perfect balance between style and substance. The interior design is based on a mixture of function and form and adheres to three main criteria:
1. Comfort: Low cabin noise and vibration make the ride quality in the Isuzu D-MAX Double Cab comparable to that of a luxury passenger car. Engine bay soundproofing, cabin and body mounts, plus the aerodynamic shape of the D-MAX, have ensured that it is also one of the quietest in its class.
2. Ease of use: All the controls are positioned logically and intuitively, and are easy to reach and operate.
3. Choice of use: Multiple storage compartments also make it convenient for the user to store and use many items safely and securely.
