    About the Isuzu D-Max

    Last updated Dec 18, 2024

    The Isuzu D-Max has been around since 2002 and in third-generation guise became Australia's third most popular new model in 2023. Justifiably popular among commercial and private buyers alike due to its durability and broad range of variants, the D-Max was originally sold in Australia as the Holden Rodeo between 2003 and 2008, when the facelifted version was renamed the Colorado and the D-Max itself was released by Isuzu UTE Australia. The first D-Max was replaced by the RT-series in 2012 and then the latest RG model in 2020.

    2025 Isuzu D-Max vs other Utes 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.
