Isuzu first revealed UK pricing for the 2017 D-Max
at the end of February, when we learned that £ 15,749 will land you the
entry-level Utility model, packing LED DRLs, air conditioning, power windows,
Bluetooth connectivity, Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control.
In terms of aesthetics, not only has the front been
improved by the LEDs, but the rear has also received a reshaped tailgate with a
spoiler design molded into the top section which now features a newly designed
handle.
Inside, the truck gets an updated central display
boasting a clearer font. Isuzu have even added additional USB ports to the
lower center dash as well as at the rear of the center console, across the
range (except for Utility spec models).
Eiger and Yukon models get a new embossed woven seat
fabric, whereas Utah versions come with textured leather. The range-topping
Blade model gets an upgraded premium leather trim with orange contrast
stitching. Furthermore, buyers will be able to enjoy new soft pads for the
front center and side armrests across the premium range, while Extended and Double
Cab variants come with flexible rear seats featuring a folding base, but will
also fold flat and split 60/40.
Those looking for more on-board features, but most
of all, increased connectivity, need to turn their attention towards the Utah
spec, which has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, sat-nav, DAB digital radio,
plus roof bars, leather upholstery with heated front seats, rear parking
sensors and automatic air conditioning.
The range-topping Blade model adds tinted windows,
9" multi-function touchscreen, remote locking lower tailgate, Blade puddle
lamps, front & rear parking sensors and a color-coded Aeroklas canopy or
sports bar with roller cover.
The 1.9-liter
turbodiesel unit, it's good for 164 PS and 360 Nm of
torque, and will work together with either a 6-speed manual or an automatic
gearbox - both of which are new.
