Isuzu D-Max 2012–2019 car dimensions: 5295 mm long, 1860 mm wide and 1795 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,940 kg. Braked towing is 3,500 kg.
The cabin feels spacious with good head and leg room plus firm contoured seats that support well on long drives. Lower grades stick to manual air conditioning and basic audio with Bluetooth, while mid and higher trims add a touchscreen, cruise control on the steering wheel, automatic climate control and a reversing camera. No automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning or lane keep systems are fitted on this generation.
As a double cab pick-up the load bed measures roughly 1.5 m long by 1.53 m wide and 0.465 m deep, giving a practical open cargo area for tools and materials.
Most 4x4 double cab models tow a braked 3500 kg and an unbraked 750 kg. Payload sits around 1100 kg depending on exact grade and drivetrain, enough for solid work loads.
The ladder-frame chassis stays stable when loaded or towing. Some work-focused grades get heavy-duty rear leaf springs for tougher duty.
The cabin offers good space with extra legroom and more reclined rear seats for better comfort on longer trips. Higher grades add leather-accented seats that are heated at the front plus a multi-way power driver’s seat. Automatic climate control keeps the temperature steady. Seats use contoured design with wrap-around bolsters for support. Materials feel hard-wearing and practical rather than soft-touch luxury.

The D-Max runs efficient common-rail turbo-diesels. Early cars used a 2.5-litre unit. from 2017 a 1.9-litre replaced it and met Euro 6 rules without AdBlue. Claimed combined figures reach over 40 mpg on manual versions.
Service intervals sit at 12,000 miles or 24 months. A five-year warranty covering high mileage is offered in several markets, helping keep ownership costs predictable.
Safety starts with a four-star Euro NCAP result. Later crew-cab models gained a five-star ANCAP score. Every version carries six airbags, electronic stability control, ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist. Four-wheel-drive models add trailer sway control plus hill start and descent systems.
The truck is built for hard work and long service life. Regular dealer servicing keeps the diesel healthy and the chassis ready for payload or towing duties day after day.
