Celebrate 45 Years of Isuzu Bakkies – With The Limited Edition D-Max 45

Isuzu is celebrating its legacy of producing segment-defining Isuzu bakkies in the country over the past 45 years with the launch of the limited edition D-Max 45.

The limited edition D-Max 45 pays tribute to Isuzu’s long and proud legacy of manufacturing its bakkie range in South Africa, which commenced with the first Isuzu KB coming off the production line in 1979.

Based on the seventh-generation D-Max range - and specifically the 3.0 Ddi Double Cab LSE 4x4 Automatic derivative - the D-Max 45 will be released in limited numbers from the end of July 2024. It will be available with an exclusive range of accessories and features, adding further lustre to one of the bakkie segment’s most revered nameplates.

The Isuzu D-Max has enjoyed a long and proud legacy in South Africa, and were responsible for creating and popularising the double cab bakkie segment which is now the mainstay of the local industry.

The limited edition D-Max 45 celebrates this proud heritage with unique features, colour options and accessories that will make it a highly sought-after offering in the Isuzu D-Max range.

The D-Max 45 is based on the 3.0 Ddi Double Cab LSE 4x4 Automatic, and comes standard with a high level of comfort, safety and convenience features (matched to the proven capabilities of the 3.0-litre Ddi intercooled turbodiesel engine which produces 140 kW of power and 450 Nm of torque). This is combined with a dependable six-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel drive system with a standard differential lock to conquer more challenging terrain.

The upmarket interior, which includes the LSE’s partial leather seat trim, benefits from the addition of durable Bundu Basher rubber floor mats, which makes it ideal for dusty and muddy off-road adventures. A wireless charger is included on the D-Max 45 to keep your compatible smartphone charged at all times. This complements the standard nine-inch touchscreen multimedia system with integrated wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The D-Max LSE’s standard suite of safety features is carried through to this limited edition model, including driver and passenger front airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, a driver’s knee airbag and the far-side airbag between the front seats. Active safety features include: ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD); Brake Assist System (BAS); Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control; Hill Start Assist (HSA); Hill Descent Control (HDC); and Trailer Sway Control.

The D-Max remains one of the leading contenders 45 years after local production commenced, and it continues to be a firm favourite for bakkie owners – revered for its outstanding fuel economy, low running costs and proven durability in the harshest conditions.
