The 2021 Mk3 D-Max represented a complete overhaul of Isuzu's pickup, arriving in UK showrooms in March. It featured an entirely new exterior design, a radically improved interior with soft-touch materials, and a comprehensive ADAS safety suite standard across the range — making it the first pickup to achieve a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. The 1.9-litre diesel engine remained but was now Euro 6d compliant with AdBlue injection.
While improved over earlier models, the Euro 6d engine still requires consistent long runs to avoid AdBlue sensor errors and DPF blockages.
