2021 Isuzu D-Max: What each model offers

The 2021 Isuzu D-Max is available in four model grades – SX, LS-M, LS-U and X-Terrain – and three body styles: single cab, space cab and double cab.


The previous base model, the $26,990 drive-away SX single cab-chassis 4x2 with “low rider” suspension (and which only had a 2.5-tonne towing capacity) has been deleted.

The new line-up starts from $29,990 drive-away for the SX single cab-chassis 4x2 with “high rider” suspension, which has a 3.5-tonne towing capacity.

The previous flagship Isuzu D-Max LS-T (available as a 4x2 or 4x4) has been deleted; in its place is the new top-of-the-range X-Terrain double cab (4x4 only), albeit with a higher price.

As reported extensively in our safety coverage, every model in the new 2021 Isuzu D-Max line-up comes with the full suite of advanced technology. However, there are other key differences as you climb through the model range.
