Australia's #4 best-selling vehicle in 2024. 26,839 sold. BuyFleet negotiates fleet pricing across our national Isuzu UTE dealer network — get the best deal on any D-Max variant without the showroom pressure.
Get the Best Price on a D-MaxThe Isuzu D-Max has firmly cemented itself as one of Australia's most trusted dual-cab utes, and in 2024 it was the fourth best-selling vehicle in the country with 26,839 registrations. That's an extraordinary achievement for a brand that specialises entirely in commercial vehicles, and it speaks volumes about the D-Max's reputation for durability, reliability, and purpose-built capability.
Unlike many utes that try to be everything to everyone, the D-Max has a clear identity: it is an honest, hardworking commercial vehicle that happens to be very liveable day to day. Its 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine producing 140kW and 450Nm of torque is one of the most refined in the segment, offering strong low-end grunt for towing and hauling without the drama of some rivals. The 6-speed automatic gearbox shifts smoothly and efficiently, while the manually selectable 4WD system gives you the flexibility to go wherever work or adventure takes you.
The D-Max achieved an impressive 5-star ANCAP safety rating, and Isuzu has continued to add safety technology across the range. Higher variants benefit from autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a 360-degree camera system that makes tight manoeuvring on worksites dramatically easier. The X-Terrain in particular offers a level of active safety technology that would have seemed impossible in a commercial ute just a few years ago.
For businesses, the D-Max delivers genuine commercial utility. The tub dimensions accommodate a standard pallet with ease, the payload across variants ranges from approximately 965 to 1,025 kg, and the 3,500 kg braked tow rating means you can pull a fully loaded trailer without breaking a sweat. Isuzu's 5-year/130,000 km warranty and capped-price servicing also make total cost of ownership very predictable — critical for fleet managers working to tight budgets.
Through BuyFleet, you gain access to our national Isuzu UTE dealer network and the purchasing leverage that comes from volume. We work with dealers across every state and territory to source the best available price on your chosen D-Max variant, colour, and specification. Whether you're buying one ute or twenty, BuyFleet handles the negotiation so you can focus on your business.
From the hard-working SX to the feature-packed X-Terrain, there's a D-Max for every application. Here's how they compare.
The entry-level D-Max is anything but basic. The SX delivers full commercial capability with a practical interior that's easy to clean and maintain. It's the ute of choice for serious worksite applications.
The LS-M adds a significant comfort and technology step up from the SX, including a larger touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and upgraded safety systems — ideal for tradespeople spending long hours behind the wheel.
The LS-U is the volume seller for good reason. It hits the sweet spot between price and specification, offering a leather-accented interior, bi-LED headlights, and a comprehensive safety suite that satisfies most buyers.
The LS-U+ elevates the D-Max experience with genuine leather upholstery, a 360-degree surround-view camera, wireless phone charging, and additional acoustic insulation. This is the D-Max for those who want it all.
The range-topping X-Terrain combines premium appointments with enhanced off-road hardware. Exclusive styling, colour-coded accessories, and the full technology suite make this the D-Max for buyers who refuse to compromise.

The numbers that matter most for Australian commercial buyers and fleet managers.
Engine: The 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel (4JJ3-TCX) is Isuzu's own design, built specifically for heavy commercial use. It produces 140kW at 3,600 rpm and a substantial 450Nm of torque from 1,600–2,600 rpm — meaning you're always in the torque band when you need to pull or haul.
Transmission: A 6-speed automatic gearbox is standard across the range, offering smooth, predictable shifts with a manual mode when you want more control on steep descents or off-road terrain. The 4WD system offers 2H, 4H, and 4L modes, selectable on the fly up to 100 km/h in 2H-to-4H transitions.
Towing and Payload: 3,500 kg braked tow rating across the LS variants. Payload capacity ranges from approximately 965 kg (X-Terrain) to 1,025 kg (SX). Combined with a class-leading tray volume, the D-Max is one of the most capable load carriers in its segment.
Off-Road Capability: Ground clearance of 235 mm, approach angle of 31 degrees, departure angle of 26 degrees, and wading depth of 800 mm. These figures make the D-Max a capable off-roader straight from the factory, not just on paper.
Safety: 5-star ANCAP rating. AEB, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and driver attention alert are standard from the LS-M upward. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are included from the LS-U. The X-Terrain adds a terrain monitoring camera that displays the front wheel position on a central screen — invaluable on difficult tracks.
