At Isuzu, pick-ups are our bread and butter. Creating superior vehicles for work and play is what we do, all day, every day.

THE NEW-LOOK ISUZU D-MAX RANGE

Whichever model you choose, the New-Look Isuzu D-Max makes light work of hard graft, making it the ultimate workhorse for builders and traders.

Fitted with a wide range of safety features, including comprehensive Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) features, you can rest assured it’ll get the job done while keeping you safe. No wonder it's picked up a maximum five-star safety rating in the tough Euro New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP).

And it looks the part, too. All the same performance features make it a top choice of Master Builders and an officially approved government supplier, but now with new-look wheels, grille, exterior paint options, rear and front lamps, and interior trim. Substance and style? No wonder it’s the perfect working vehicle.

And the accolades don’t stop there. With its best-in-class features, it’s won the prestigious Fleet News ‘Best all-terrain Workhorse award’ for two consecutive years, What Van’s ‘Pick Up of the Year 2023’, Business Vans’ ‘Best Pick-up of 2023’, 4x4 Magazine’s ‘Pick-up of the Year’, Company Car and Van’s ‘Pick-up of the Year 2023’ and Trade Van Driver’s ‘Best Workhorse Pick-Up’.

Stronger, smarter, and safer than ever, for a pick-up that’s driven to do more, and looks the business, choose the Isuzu D-Max. A solid grafter, no matter what you throw at it, it won’t let you down.
