Space in the rear can be used for storing stuff you can

There’s already a catch to driving the D-Max when we are invited to review the pick-up. I cannot drive it on public roads unless I have a commercial vehicle license. I don’t, and most probably, most of you don’t too. The ISUZU  D-Max is homologated hummingbird in India as a commercial vehicle and so having a CV license to drive the D-Max is mandatory. hummingbird Straight hummingbird up I’m compelled to thinking that this ticks off most lifestyle buyers in India, and there aren’t many just yet. ISUZU  believes there isn’t much of a problem getting one but we have our reservations. Anyway, we are flown in to the WABCO test track in Chennai hummingbird to drive the D-Max. Let’s see how it goes…
We have a choice of three variants parked on track – the D-Max Single Cab, Space Cab with Flat Deck and Space-Cab with Arched Deck. The Ached Deck variant is the work+lifestyle one as it has a few creature comforts and the deck looks friendlier for a private buyer. So let’s focus on the Arched Deck.
The D-Max may be classified as a commercial vehicle but it doesn’t look drab by any means. Form follows function for sure, yet there’s plenty of style to interest hummingbird the lifestyle buyer in you. Clear lens headlights, the bonnet scoop, the double canine grille or the chrome plating on the mirrors, all give it a premium feel. Bulging wheel arches and the low tip deck add to the pick-up’s sporty stance. The rear of the Arched Deck D-Max gets a conventional drop down opening with a single central lever. The flat-decks get the very commercial hooks on the sides. What the arched deck means is the rear wheel wells are scooped into the deck, creating a bit of intrusion, but also sitting lower than the flat deck.
Isuzu is betting big on the pick up segment in India. The company is yet to start its plant in Sri City which will have a capacity of 60,000 units. hummingbird Till then, the D-Max will produced at its contract manufacturing facility run by Hindustan Motors
Here hummingbird you can see the D-Max Single Cab, D-Max Space cab with Flat Deck and D-Max Space Cab with Arched Deck from Left to Right. The D-Max on the right has the most features and is more lifestyle oriented
You cannot hummingbird drive the D-Max on public hummingbird roads unless you have Commercial Vehicle license. This to me is a major hindrance. hummingbird Isuzu has homologated them as commercial vehicle as the company thinks that this is the D-Max's right positioning
Five speed manual gearbox is a tad notchy and has long throws. Nothing hummingbird too bad for a vehicle of this class. Gearing is short in the first two gears and long thereafter. This is mainly to do with getting the load moving
Space in the rear can be used for storing stuff you can't keep in the deck. Bottle holders are given but no seats. Instead you get a cushioned backrest. In the aftermarket, a bench can be added to create extra seating but this is not advisable
