The new Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain is a massive step up on its predecessor, and should convert some Ranger and HiLux buyers to the cause. But in a straight line, it can't match the Amarok V6. So is this old warhorse still worth a look?
A new Sunshine Orange mica exterior paint colour is offered exclusively on the X-Terrain following the discontinuation of Volcanic Amber metallic.
The 2024 D-Max range will be offered in nine colours. All except Mineral White come at a $500 premium.
While options and pricing haven’t been confirmed yet, we know the Amarok will be available in eight exterior colours including one colour unique to VW.
The D-Max is a staple in the Australian ute market, and this year's updates have done well to bring it up to speed against the competition.

With its unique turbo petrol engine in a market that's more open to diesels than ever, the Amarok Aventura sits nicely in its own zone.
