2022 Isuzu D-Max drive-away price increased as rebates dropped

One of Isuzu’s cheapest D-Max variants has been given a price increase, with the manufacturer dropping rebates for its former entry-level grade.

Up until last month, the D-Max SX Single Cab Chassis 4×2 manual was available to buy for $29,990 drive-away when fitted with a 3.0-litre, turbo-diesel engine after rebates from Isuzu undercut its own list price of $33,200.

However, with the introduction of a new 1.9-litre, turbo-diesel engine in November, the 3.0 has now been replaced on the bottom rung, with the rebates only applying to the smaller capacity ute, bringing its drive-away price up to $39,719.

While its list price is unchanged, the basic economy aluminium tray adds a $2888 premium, with on-road costs adding up to $3631 when configured for Queensland, attributing to its higher final price.

However, if you want a D-Max for under $30,000, the newly-introduced 1.9-litre SX Single Cab Chassis 4×2 manual takes over the 3.0-litre’s place and pricing, with the same rebates applying to bring its drive-away cost down to $29,990 in its most basic form.

The D-Max 4×2 is the second-highest selling model in its class, with 5943 sales so far this year accounting for 20 per cent of all 4×2 ute sales in 2021, while the 4×4 drops to third in its segment on 17,164 units sold, behind only the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux.
