By Two years after a complete redesign, the current generation of D-Max continues to marks solid sales numbers all around the world. Of course, the main reason is its quality, but there are few more things. One of them is the model’s range-topping version, which will continue as the 2022 Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain for the next year. We don’t believe it could bring any more important changes but that’s not a big deal at all. Simply, the current model is already pretty impressive in every aspect.
Compared to the standard version, this model comes with all kinds of upgrades. There are few distinctive visual details, along with upgraded suspension and a full load of standard equipment.
