Isuzu Ute Australia has fast-tracked the launch of its MY22 D-Max range – originally expected to launch early next year, the updated model line-up will now be in dealerships from December 1.

The revised range will see the addition of a new 4x4 variant in showrooms, with the introduction of the LS-U+ to wedge between the flagship X-Terrain and the LS-U in the D-Max hierarchy.

In essence the LS-U+ is an LS-U with a bit more luxury ─ premium black leather-accented upholstery, variably heated front seats, eight-way electric adjustment and lumbar support for the driver, plus heated door mirrors.

In more relevant news for off-roaders, the entire 4x4 range is now rated with a GCM of 6000 kilograms, an increase of 50kg on the 2021 model ─ that's an extra kid in the back.

Plus, LS-U, LS-U+ and X-Terrain models are now equipped with a factory-fitted tow bar receiver as standard, and LS-U Crew Cab, LS-U Space Cab and LS-U+ Crew Cab variants get a factory-fitted tub liner as standard.

In a nod to customer feedback, IUA has also installed a Lane Support System switch on the steering wheel on all models, so that drivers can now toggle it on or off. Anyone who has driven an MY21 model will appreciate this decision, as deep-diving into the menu to scan for settings can be tiresome.

LS-M Crew Cab models now get rear parking sensors as standard, while all mid-range LS-U variants (Crew Cab ute, Space Cab Chassis and Crew Cab Chassis) ditch the key in lieu of smart keyless entry.

The flagship X-Terrain has received added luxury in 2022 form, with the range-topper now features red stitching throughout the interior, variable heated front seats, a blacked-out instrument cluster, and black finishes on the steering wheel, air vents, centre console and doors.

Scrapped for MY22 are the SX Space Cab 4x2 ute (auto) and SX Crew Cab 4x4 ute (manual), with the new-look line-up instead broadening its cab-chassis range. On the 4x2 front, Isuzu has introduced the SX Single Cab Chassis in manual and auto transmissions, with the manual variant now the entry point in the D-Max range – priced at $31,200 before on-road costs.

These new entry-level SX Single Cab Chassis variants are powered by the 110kW/350Nm 1.9-litre RZ4E-TC engine ─ debuting in Australia in this iteration. However, dig into the pockets a bit deeper and the venerable 3.0-litre turbo-diesel is still available for the SX Single Cab Chassis. Also new for the 4x2-inclined, is a 3.0-litre-powered SX Space Cab Chassis.

In addition to the LS-U+, new 4x4 variants for MY22 include the mid-spec LS-M and LS-U in Crew Cab Chassis guise (alloy or steel) – all paired with six-speed automatic transmissions and the 3.0-litre powertrain.

The MY22 D-Max range is available in dealerships from December 1.
