Isuzu 1.9 X-Rider 4x4 A/T (2024) Review
Since its introduction in 2016, the Isuzu X-Rider has garnered significant admiration and interest due to its distinctive styling, practical features, and competitive pricing. As it gears up to take on its challengers in 2024, does it still have what it takes?

Isuzu D-Max 3.0 Double Cab 4×4 V-Cross (2025) Quick Review
While we all know that Isuzu'z flagship bakkie can haul, climb, crawl and tow, its price tag, despite being more attainable than many of its counterparts, is a big deterrent. We find out if it's good value for money and also if there's a more affordable alternative elsewhere in the lineup that has the same luxury lifestyle ambience.

Isuzu mu-X (2024) Quick Review
The mu-X enjoyed a few subtle enhancements in 2023, but we don't think it got the attention it deserved with so many other aggressively marketed seven-seaters in SA. After a week (and a half) with this intrepid all-wheel-driven SUV in 3.0TD LSE and 3.0TD Onyx trim, I remembered why I liked it so much.

I recently had a chance to drive Isuzu's mega D-Max AT35, a bakkie designed for some of the toughest conditions. Is this a worthy alternative to some of the other uber-lifestyle bakkies on the market?

Isuzu D-Max 1.9TD D/C X-Rider 4x4 Auto (2024) - Review
If you want some style for your D-Max, look no further than the X-Rider variant, a styling package with some good cues.

Isuzu D-Max AT35 (2024) - Review
Lifestyle bakkies, once a niche market, have surged in popularity, catering to those with an adventurous spirit. The Isuzu D-Max AT35, enhanced with the Arctic Trucks treatment, is a prime example. Arctic Trucks is renowned for its no-nonsense approach to 4x4 modifications, and the D-Max AT35 is no exception; it's a bold statement on wheels. But how does it perform?

The locally manufactured Isuzu D-Max in 3.0 Extended Cab offers a strong bakkie foundation with added comfort and modern convenience. Good for the urban life and a tough workhorse to boot.
