Isuzu D-Max pick-up awarded four-star safety rating

From the latest Isuzu press release: 'The all-new D-Max pick-up has been awarded a four-star safety rating by organisation Euro NCAP, provider of independent vehicle assessment'. William Brown, General Manager at Isuzu UK commented: “These positive results demonstrate the quality of the new Isuzu D-Max, and especially so given that it has been subjected to the new, tougher Euro NCAP testing criteria.  Customers can now add an impressive independent safety score to the list of attributes that makes the Isuzu D-Max a highly appealing ownership proposition.” The Isuzu D-Max received a whopping 83% in the ‘adult occupant’ category, scoring max points for the protection it provides in the side-barrier test, made possible by its new, stronger, longer and wider chassis (compared to its predecessor).  The Electronic Stability Programme and front seat belt reminder system contributed to the pick-up’s shared leading score of 71% in the ‘safety assist’ category, while scoring 67%  in the ‘child occupant’ category.

The Isuzu D-Max is available with a 2.5-litre twin-turbo diesel engine, four specification levels and three cab configurations – extended cab, single cab and double cab.  Prices range from £14,499 (Commercial Vehicle on the Road Price) for the single cab 4x2 derivative, rising to £21,499 (CVOTR) for the range-topping ‘Utah’ specification double cab automatic. Not only is the D-Max one of the most cost effective pick-ups, but it also attributes to low insurance groups (8A to 10A), leading residual values and fuel economy, and is backed by Isuzu's unique five-year, 120,000-mile warranty.
