2021 Isuzu D-Max SX crew cab review
The Isuzu D-Max makes sense at the top end of the range, and it makes sense in base SX guise. Sure, you miss some of the tinsel, but there's no getting away from the fact this is a very good ute.

2021 Isuzu D-Max LS-U review
The all-new Isuzu D-Max has a classier cabin and a list of safety features more than twice as long as before. That should put it on your shortlist if you're buying a new ute.

Other Ute to consider
The D-Max's most direct competitor is the Mazda BT-50 which shares the same engine and platform.
It does compete though in the hotly-contested 4x2 and 4x4 ute segments where it goes up against the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger, Mitsubishi Triton, Nissan Navara, GWM Ute, Ssangyong Musso and LDV T60 Max.
Isuzu is currently pricing its D-Max in the same pricing tier as the HiLux and Ranger, though it's arguably better value than either.
