Isuzu’s latest D-Max KB300 LX attempts to modernise but it’s still an old-school bakkie built for the rough stuff
If the Isuzu D-Max was a shoe it would probably be one of those five-fingered rubber socks that strip the wearer of any elegance. But have you seen the confidence in their stride? Five-fingered shoe-wearers don’t give a toss.
The front end is dominated by new projector-type LED headlamps and daytime running lights. Picture: DEJAN JOVANOVIC Once you gel with the Isuzu, then you find yourself in the engine’s sweet spot more often and drive it in a manner similar to a normal car. Or close enough. It still feels decidedly commercial, and you’re mightily grateful there isn’t a manual gearbox in there to make it even more bothersome.
I kind of want to knock the Isuzu only because of the context it’s in — against better-equipped, more refined rivals, the Isuzu stands out as a bit of a relic. But I love it for the same reason I adore the Suzuki Jimny: originality.
