The Isuzu D-Max range has been given a subtle makeover for 2023. Although there have been no technical modifications to the revamped range, each trim level has received visual enhancements, most notably a freshly styled front grille and, for some models, new wheel designs.
While every pickup in the range receives the refreshed grille, only the All-Purpose and Adventure models will be fitted with the new wheels. The Business range of pickups retains the practical and durable steel wheels that have become a staple of the Isuzu D-Max Utility models.
In addition to the revised front grille and wheel designs, the D-Max also sees the introduction of two new colours for some specifications. Dolomite White replaces Pearl White, while the metallic Biarritz Blue replaces the outgoing Sapphire Blue shade. The Biarritz Blue colour will be available for both the DL40 and V-Cross models, while the Dolomite White pearlescent will be exclusive to the range-topping V-Cross.
On the interior of the vehicles, there have also been some modifications. Although the hard-wearing cloth interior of the Business range models has remained unchanged, the Isuzu D-Max DL20 seats are now covered in a more premium woven fabric with a refreshed design. Moving up the range, both the DL40 and V-Cross have been upgraded with newly designed leather upholstery, utilising horizontal layering for a more spacious feel.
A rear-differential lock option is now available on all manual 4×4 Utility models in the range. Isuzu introduced this feature for the 2022 D-Max pickup and is continuing with the refreshed model.
“As a brand, we are always striving for improvement, and the New-Look Isuzu D-Max is a testament to that,” commented Alan Able, Isuzu UK’s managing director. “While maintaining our award-winning 4×4 expertise, we have added some significant visual enhancements and new features to elevate the driving experience for our customers. We are taking a step further into the lifestyle sector thanks to this new look, without suffering any compromise to the D-Max’s workhorse heritage and capability. It’s the same substance, with a different style.”
