2022 Isuzu D-MAX Range: Better than ever Fuelled by customer feedback, the 2022 Isuzu D-MAX range has been updated to better meet the needs of drivers right across the country. New variants have been added to the range, alongside increased capabilities—including an increased Gross Combination Mass to 6000kg on 4x4 models and a Lane Support System Switch—and advanced levels of refinement. Further bolstering the D-MAX’s reputation for being fit-for-purpose, the entry-level Single Cab Chassis 4x2 now has the option of being paired with Isuzu’s new RZ4E-TC 1.9-litre turbo-diesel engine, a popular choice overseas for supreme fuel efficiency and refined operation. Some other highlights of the updated 22MY stable include Cab Chassis options now available on the mid-spec LS-M and LS-U models, the introduction of the premium LS-U+, and additional levels of comfort for the already feature-packed flagship X-TERRAIN.
