Isuzu D-MAX 21MY Front Seat Leather X-TERRAIN Isuzu Ute D-MAX has just launched a replacement for the popular LS-T called the X-TERRAIN. X-TERRAIN acknowledges the consumer surge in premium Utes. 

This article is all about the specifications, we have an indepth drive review coming soon.

D-MAX X-TERRAIN Overview

As Utes in general continue the morphing from pure work vehicles into family practical transport, the demand for increased safety and comfort features pushes the boundaries. The Isuzu Ute D-MAX X-TERRAIN is aimed at providing premium levels of these features. On sale from September 1 at Isuzu Ute dealers, the X-TERRAIN is the best Ute Isuzu has produced so far.

“Designed with the feedback from the local Australian owners, Dealers and the Media, our flagship X-TERRAIN builds on the All-New D-MAX Range, combining uncompromised levels of capability with the latest in innovation, safety and technology,” said Isuzu UTE Australia Managing Director, Hiroyasu Sato.

“Not only is it Isuzu’s most advanced ute ever, it’s the best-looking; with a bold and muscular stance, and exclusive design elements that evoke a sense of toughness and dynamism from all angles. We’re proud to have combined our extensive suite of standard inclusions from the All-New range, with additional levels of comfort, technology and aesthetics”.

D-MAX X-TERRAIN Interior

Inside, the interior has been finessed with much focus on occupant comfort and higher levels of standard equipment, premium textures and finishes.

The interior trim is modern and ergonomic, with:

Elevating the journey experience for all occupants is a premium 8-speaker surround sound system and dual zone air conditioning,with rear passengers also benefiting from rear air vents.

Convenience is further enhanced on the D-MAX X-TERRAIN, with the welcomed addition of a new Smart Key that provides, Remote Engine Start, Smart Keyless Entry, Push Button Start, Welcome Light, and Walk Away Door Lock.

Remote Engine Start takes convenience and comfort to the next level, allowing the driver to remotely start the engine and allow the dual zone air conditioning system to cool or warm the cabin, before stepping inside.

Added security protocols scan for the Smart Key and keep the doors locked, preventing unauthorised entry to the cabin, whilst Remote Engine Start is in use.

When the key holder walks within 2 meters of the X-TERRAIN, the Welcome Light in the cabin will automatically turn on. But when they leave X-TERRAIN, the Walk Away Door Lock will automatically lock the car when the D-MAX detects the Smart Key is over 3 meters away.

Boasting a Gross Vehicle Mass capacity of 3,100kg, a Gross Combination Mass capacity of 5,950kg and 3.5-tonne towing capacity, the X-TERRAIN has the brawns to load-it-up or hitch-it-up for a week filled with hard work, or a weekend filled with incontestable adventure.
