The all-new Isuzu D-Max has built quite a strong resume despite being a relatively new pickup truck in the market. It recently secured the “Best Pickup Truck” award and the “Best Workhorse Pick-Up” award from various media agencies in the United Kingdom, signifying the truck’s impressive characteristics.

The Isuzu D-Max is a value buy

4x4 Magazine, a renowned publication in the UK, is further solidifying the all-new D-Max as it named the truck the “Best Value Pickup of the Year.” This award shows how the model managed to deliver ample features and an appealing truck design while keeping the price at a competitive level.

“The Isuzu D-Max won Pick-up of the Year last year after we first drove it, so we’ve not been at all surprised by the enormous demand Isuzu has encountered since sales began. And one of the reasons why people are queueing up to buy them is that Isuzu has priced them very smartly indeed,” said 4x4 Magazine Editor Alan Kidd.

The third-gen Isuzu D-Max comes with a more aggressive appearance thanks to its sharp-looking LED headlights with U-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs), fang-like grille, and an angular bumper. With the top-spec variant, the truck runs on an ambitious-looking set of wheels finished in gunmetal.

Part of the award is the Advanced Driver Assist System the all-new Isuzu D-Max offers. This system is equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Intelligent Speed Limiter, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, among others.

It also offers the Isuzu D-Max Utility which is a stripped-down version that can be used as a workhorse vehicle.

“Isuzu has come to market with a range of models which undercut their direct rivals – so for less money, you get one of the newest and best trucks on the market, with famous reliability, rock-solid residuals, and a monster of a warranty. No wonder people are putting their faith in the Isuzu D-Max,” Kidd added.
