With the Isuzu D-MAX pickup prospective customers will find an exciting
Alternative at a fair price. What does the pickups else on it? The top model with three-liter diesel in individual tests.
Hilux, L-200, Navara. These are the usual suspects, if new customers looking for a unique cycling with flatbed. There are Isuzu as not so often on the screen - the small brand visibility of commercial vehicle manufacturer provides Isuzu some exotics status in Germany. While the Japanese colleagues with many cars of all sizes in the streetscape can be found, the German importer of Isuzu from the Hessian Florsheim has exactly two models in the range: the N series, a light truck of 7, 5-ton. And the D-MAX.
The D-MAX it occupies the role of Pragmatikers in the competition environment. He waives pages option lists and excessive electronic gimmicks. Two engines, three cab versions, two trim levels. Single extra to the tick: the metallic finish. And fair prices that there end, where they start by other manufacturers.
The top model, which is here tested three litre diesel with automatic transmission, only to have the custom version. Leather steering wheel, air conditioning and power Windows make it pleasant to everyday use. A little chrome here and there, as well as provide the light-alloy wheels for an appearance which looks not to cash model. The cylinder diesel engines in the Isuzu three litres of engine capacity, where his performance data make a real statement measures: 163 HP and 360 nm maximum torque are considered to much, in contrast to modern, souped up engine dwarves but not the world. With the automatic transmission, the shared engine torque is reduced to 333 nm. This speaks for durability.
Alternatively, a 2, 5-liter engine of choice, which releases maximum 294 nm and 136 HP, but is only with manual transmission is available. Which is listed as pickups 26.180 euros.
The Isuzu builds significantly more compact compared to other Doppelkabinern. This applies in particular length and height: with just under five feet outside length and 1.7 metres he has over the competition the nose front, if it to the rank in the narrow forest or to the parking is in the city. The mass but also affect the available space. This is especially evident on the very compact pick-up, which grows in the competition area with the least length. 1.38 M closed tailgate are not much for a pick-up.
The headroom in the D-MAX is not overwhelming, especially on the rear seat more passengers come literally at their borders. For the leg room that does not apply however, because the pure sitting room in the T2 Isuzu is completely stress-free over long distances for transporting four adults.
A good keyword for the everyday behavior of D-MAX is stress-free. Its engine is as cosy bear the so quickly does nothing of the rest. He marches los properly from idle, before he powerfully ignites the afterburner with relatively late onset turbo boost. The noise level remains comparatively low here.
All joy of original technology is the built-in four-speed automatic but not on the amount of time. She responds slowly, much power lost in the converter. This is particularly clear in the pass or on steeper slopes, where you enter the engine by kickdown unduly must to reap full thrust. On other routes a very comfortable driving adjusts therefore, because the constant Schalterei tarnishes the otherwise good impression of comfort. In terms of suspension, the Isuzu is: quite a good everyday Companion. The rear axle is relatively soft feathered, the pick-up typical strikes from this region to thrive even on bad surface in limits.
Although the automatic feels so "force schluckend", is the consumption of the three litre engine reasonable part, which probably contributes a part of the lower body. With approximately ten liters, it can stop the Isuzu in everyday life, in very cautious driving an eight before the comma is reached - other modern pick-ups need not less.
In the area, the Isuzu is in his element. The automatic is translated is relatively long, at least partially offset that is available through the used axis translation, the shortest of four in the D-MAX. Together with the practical short area ratio (2.48: 1) and the increase in torque by the automatic converter, the result is a very stress-free progress in difficult areas. In power lacks the D-MAX in any situation, deep shelves make it hardly face a real challenge. Only the somewhat impetuous power use is uncommon. Usual above all the moderate ramp angle sets the limits as for pick-ups. Because despite the more compact overall length extends the wheelbase of Isuzu as in the competition on good three meters. The comparatively short body overhangs, which give good angle of repose of the D-MAX in the area are positive side effect of this interpretation.
Electrically, the area ratio is inserted as the rigid Zuschalt 4WD by pressing a button. In the test, that worked easily and responsive. The all-wheel drive can be connection even while driving. While the D-MAX in curves clamped significantly less than other pick-up with rigid Zuschalt-all-wheel drive, which allows the 4 x 4 use even in winter road conditions. The entanglement is limited due to the relatively steifbeinige front independent suspension, while the rigid rear axle seeking compensation and far return to full extension.
The standard rear differential brake subject rear wheel is no great help system, a traction control you looking for in the D-MAX also in vain as to an ESP that could bring more safety in the road. True to the motto "what is not there, can go also not broken" remains the Isuzu also here faithful to his claim to be the value of user optimized daily companion.
The Isuzu D-MAX to some technology gimmicks of the competition and provides instead down-to-Earth technology at attractive prices. He is particularly well suited for commercial use. The automatic is something listless.
