2021 Isuzu D-Max 3.0-litre Turbo - First New Model In Almost A Decade

The new D-Max ute has catapulted out of the bargain basement to take on the top-selling Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger.

The Isuzu D-Max ute – which built its reputation with a no-frills approach and an agricultural design – has undergone a transformation not seen since Shane Warne started dating Liz Hurley. From knockabout to new-age, simple to sophisticated.

The first completely new Isuzu D-Max in almost a decade has been transformed from a no-nonsense pick-up to one of the most advanced utes in its class.
It’s unclear what Isuzu’s passionate fanbase will make of this slick new look and all the fancy tech, but they will need to work some overtime to afford the new one.

Prices have risen by between $2000 and $8100 – which will elevate the 2021 Isuzu D-Max from the more affordable end of the ute market, to land smack bang in the middle of the price points for the top-selling Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger.

We have detailed the main price and spec changes – and how the new Isuzu D-Max compares to the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger utes – in tables at the bottom of this story.

In the meantime, here are the key highlights – and what you need to know if you’re in the market for a new ute.

It’s certainly a buyer’s market, with the new Isuzu D-Max to be followed soon by an updated Toyota HiLux (facelift and tech changes), an updated Ford Ranger (now with remote smartphone access and upgraded headlights) and a new Mazda BT-50 (the Isuzu’s new twin under the skin).
What we know so far: after soldiering on for years against newer and better equipped rivals, the 2021 Isuzu D-Max will lead the ute class – on paper at least – when it arrives in showrooms from 1 September.
