2025 Isuzu D-Max

The 2025 Isuzu D-Max 1.9 DDi HR Extended Cab is part of the current 7th-generation D-Max range, aimed at buyers who want a tough, dependable one-tonne bakkie without stepping up to the heavier 3.0-litre. It's positioned as a work-and-play compromise: the extended cab adds a bit of behind-seat storage over a single cab, while the Hi-Rider (HR) 4x2 setup keeps ground clearance high without the cost or fuel penalty of full 4x4. It comes standard with rear-wheel drive, a rear diff lock, 227 mm ground clearance and 800 mm wading depth, making it capable off-road for a 4x2. As a near-new model, most examples on the market still carry the balance of Isuzu's factory warranty and service plan.
