2021 Isuzu D-Max

Ride Experience. The Automatic 4x4 is fantastic to drive. The engine on idle is almost silent when windows are up, feels refined and the cabin has great insulation. The automatic transmission is a great shifting of gears is smooth. Power is great never felt sluggish, driving in traffic was not a problem as the visibility is good and automatic transmission helps here. The driver and co-passenger comfort is good. The rear passenger seat is spacious for three though it cannot be reclined but comfortable to seat with a decent back recline, though it is fixed angle. The cabin cooling for rear takes a bit of time, the vents of the rear do not have any controls to angle air to ward the passenger which is a drawback. They could have easily added it as there was plenty of space. The driver armrest is not good as it is positioned a bit back and it cannot be slided forward or back with the seats. Shift on the fly 4x4 Hi is easy to use. Hill decent control is great, the front shock absorber is soft and feels good to cushion the road bumps. The rear is a bit hard as it is with leaf spring. Works well with an extra load. The driver info system is good. Has most of the needed info. Music system is average. Touch screen system is nice, the sales representative told me that Apple car play and android auto is introduced newly in the current model, did not test it though and also I don't remember it in the brochure. The door pockets. and glove boxes are nice, One needs to buy luggage accessories to safeguard the luggage during long drives if 5 people plan a trip. The front seats can be reclined completely flat like a bed that's useful. Braking was good and sharp. Though it has 2 disc breaks and a drum at the rear. Steering was not that heavy if one is used to hydraulic steering in a large SUV Overall a great vehicle if one has parking space and wants to do it.some adventurous journeys. The engine and the truck are known for their reliability.
