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 4x2 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 4x2 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 4x2 is the second-highest selling model in its class, with 5943 sales so far this year accounting for 20 per cent of all 4x2 ute sales in 2021, while the 4x4 drops to third in its segment on 17,164 units sold, behind only the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux.
