THE NEW ISUZU D-MAX 2.2 HOISTS ITS FIRST AWARD FOLLOWING NEW PICK-UP’S DYNAMIC LAUNCH

The new Isuzu D-Max 2.2 has collected its first national award following its UK dynamic launch last month. Diesel & Eco Car magazine selected the new D-Max as Best Diesel Double Cab Pick-up in its 2026 Diesel Top 40 awards, citing the Isuzu as “once again the dependable, hard-working pick-up champion”.

“The D-Max blends rugged durability with sophistication,” said Ian Robertson, editor and publisher of Diesel & Eco Car. “Its brand new 2.2-litre diesel engine may be modest in size, but it feels genuinely punchy and can tow up to 3,500 kg while offering impressive reliability. A smarter interior, a lengthy list of equipment and strong safety credentials make it appealing for work and lifestyle buyers alike, backed by Isuzu’s long five-year warranty.”

“We’re delighted the new D-Max 2.2 is already continuing in the tracks of its predecessor and collecting awards,” said Managing Director of Isuzu UK, Alan Able. “The new pick-up brings all the robust reliability and capabilities expected from the D-Max, plus improved efficiency and performance from the new 2.2 litre engine, particularly in acceleration, when carrying or pulling heavy loads or heading off road.”

The new Isuzu D-Max 2.2 is offered in Double Cab as well as Single and Extended Cab configurations with a range of trim levels, as well as a Double Cab and Extended Cab Commercial variant that both qualify for flat rate Benefit-in-Kind and 100% capital allowance tax relief.

The new Isuzu D-Max 2.2 comes with a five-year, 125,000-mile warranty, UK and EU roadside assistance, and is available now from Hunt Forest Group, your local Isuzu dealer.
