I’ve just spent a week in the latest Isuzu D-MAX X-TERRAIN, which is the top model of the D-MAX range with premium features, comfort and advanced safety and connectivity technology.
As well as a number of external cosmetic additions that enhance the appeal The X-TERRAIN has a more premium interior with standard features such as a dramatically improved 9-inch infotainment system with DAB+, Android Auto™ and wireless Apple CarPlay®, electronic driver’s seat with additional lumbar support, walk away locking, 8 speaker surround sound system and a host more.

With class leading safety features across the range and the new Intelligent Driver Assistance System (IDAS),the D-MAX has a five star ANCAP safety rating.
Improvements to the reliable 3.0l turbo diesel engine mean smoother driving and better economy. D-MAX has always been a strong off road performer as well as an excellent tow vehicle for caravans, boats or horse floats etc.
X-Terrain is priced from only $63,900 plus the usual costs it should be on everyone list for a premium Dual Cab Ute. Check the local dealer for drive away pricing.
