The heart of D-MAX is the famous 3.0L Isuzu turbo diesel engine exclusive to the Isuzu range. The world’s most popular truck engine, in the skin of a ute.

3.0L Turbo Diesel

Isuzu are diesel specialists and the D-MAX is the only ute on the Australian market with this 3.0L engine under the bonnet - the same engine platform found in many Isuzu light trucks. 130kW of power and 430Nm of torque means you can rely on this turbo diesel engine to get the toughest jobs done with ease.

6-Speed Transmission

Choose from either the 6-speed manual or the 6-speed automatic transmission options. From crawling across a rocky embankment to cruising down the highway, the 6-speed manual gives you total flexibility in all situations.

Want the ute to do the work for you? Choose the 6-speed sequential automatic (which includes Rev-tronic sequential shifting if you do want to take control). Grade Logic technology keeps you in the correct gear when ascending and descending tough terrain.
