The X-TERRAIN sits at the top of the D-MAX range and gets the styling treatment to match. Sunstone Orange is the launch colour for the 2024 update and it makes the X-TERRAIN look more like a factory-prepped lifestyle ute than the workhorse it actually is underneath.

What you are buying

A 3.0 L turbo diesel making 140 kW and 450 Nm, paired with a six-speed automatic and Isuzu's proper part-time 4WD with low range. The X-TERRAIN adds the leather-accented seats, the larger touchscreen, the body kit, the side steps, the sailplane and the upgraded driver assistance package.

Cartell Assessment

The D-MAX X-TERRAIN is the lifestyle Isuzu, and the Sunstone Orange paint is the reason most buyers will walk into the showroom. Underneath the cosmetics it is the same honest ute as the rest of the D-MAX range, with the same 3.5 tonne tow rating and the same Isuzu service network behind it.

AU Outlook

D-MAX X-TERRAIN pricing in Australia sits in the mid-$70k drive-away range. Cross-shop is the Ford Ranger Wildtrak and the Toyota Hilux Rogue. Verify the latest figures with the Isuzu Ute dealer build and price tool.
