Isuzu D-Max goes bush ‘n beach
* from P82
The 7” touch-screen display in the LS-M model was easy to use and can be coupled with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus voice recognition, making playing music and navi- gation so much easier.
Economically, Isuzu quotes a fuel consump- tion of a combined 7.7L/100km, which is plausible though with towing and beach driv- ing expect more.
duty rear leaf suspen- sion, the LS-M is a great mix of workhorse and style.
Combine this with a six-speaker sound sys- tem and you really do start to enjoy the ride. Features
The display option indicating real-time litres per 100km and throttle percentage is another feature of the Isuzu D-Max LS-M, al- lowing you to manage fuel economy with your driving style.

Digital displays and steering wheel controls meant everything was at your fingertips.
Standout features of the D-Max LS-M include four cargo tie-down hooks inside the tub that were perfect for secur- ing the load and ensur- ing things didn’t move around on bumpy tracks.
Growing in popularity
Colour-coded door handles and colour- coded front bumper with Bi-LED projector headlights that auto- level are standard on the LS-M model.

Back seat rear vents and the USB charg- ing port came in very handy keeping the kids cool and fully charged.
Over the two weeks I had the test vehicle, about four people ap- proached me to talk about the D-Max.
Though now it’s not only their trucks that people are associating with quality.
The interior was very stylish and modern.

It was also great to have eight cup holders, four in the front and four in the back – you can never have too many. Performance
