POWER, reputation, and towing capacity are three things that come to mind when you think of the iconic Isuzu UTE D-MAX.
This new generation of tough features Isuzu’s 3.0L turbo diesel engine delivers a massive 140kW of power and 450Nm of torque, is matched with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
The result is outstanding performance designed to handle the harshest of Australian conditions, whether on or off road, at work or at play.
The popularity of the Isuzu UTE brand is reaching new heights, which Ken Muston Isuzu UTE sales manager, Kate Towe, can attest to.
“The new model been out since September and sales have been fantastic,” she said.
“The 4×4 X-Terrain Crew Cab Ute is the hero model, and there’s been a huge amount of interest.
“A lot of people are interested in this 4×4, from retirees looking to tow caravans, to tradies, farmers, and basically anyone who has had a D-MAX before.”
Late last year, Isuzu UTE bashed its way into Australia’s top 10 brand list for the first time ever, with the Japanese brand riding a D-Max-shaped wave of popularity. Last November The D-MAX trailed only the Toyota HiLux and the Ford Ranger on the top-selling ute list.
“Isuzu has the iconic 3.0L engine, that’s the main draw for most people. That engine has been around for such a long time and has such a good reputation,” Kate said.
“The people who are in their Isuzu love them.”
