Isuzu D-Max awarded five safety stars

The MY 17 Isuzu D-Max ute has been awarded five safety stars under the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) scheme.

ANCAP says it is relevant to the version introduced in Australia and New Zealand in February 2017, but the rating is based on ANCAP and Euro NCAP tests conducted in 2012 and 2013 and applies to all 4x4 crew cab and 4x2 high ride crew cab variants. A separate rating is available for other variants, including the low ride crew cab.

Dual frontal, side chest and side head airbags (curtains) are standard. Advanced seat belt reminders and dual seat belt pre-tensioners are fitted to both front seats. Advanced crash avoidance technologies such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB) are not available. The vehicle received an overall score of 33.58 out of a possible 37 points.
