I don’t think your the minority mate. People that use these cars want exactly that. Reviewers and people that use these occasionally are the loud minority that these manufacturers pander to.
Yes, it's also suitable for overtaking at 110km/h in a residential 50 zone over double lines with your tradie tool trailer. The good size door pocket is great for storing a large hammer or other tools for easy reach in case any 87 year old ladies dare question your meth-fuelled driving behaviour when you inevitably get stuck at the next traffic light.
Great stuff, a few nice updates and great to see Isuzu listening to their customers with these refinements :) Really surprised with the lane keep result for your test unit, my 21 lane keep works really well?? Similar with the TC.. weird (even with all the mods I've done for it on my channel!!)
after owning the 21 d max and the 21 bt50 with same engine also owning the 22 mux is the lane keep isnt the greatest. when you get near the lane it pulls you in and throws you back into the middle of the lane.
The EFFORT and THOROUGH review of every video they put out is absolutely spiffing! If YT continued to made a UA-cam Rewind, CarExpert is next to CarWow! Superb, Paul. Amazing! Keep up the good work.
If you want to see a brilliant car review channel check out throttle house, by far the best reviewers on UA-cam and funny. Admittedly they don't have the important things car expert does like how soft something is or the extremely important speed in reverse, the quality of the videos throttle house does is also brilliant.👍
@@YoItsZed it isn't about funny antics they actually test drive the cars too their limits and do comparisons, if you aren't into antics surely you don't give a crap about speeds in reverse. I've suggested to Paul maybe doing things like braking/swerve tests instead would be far more interesting, you know the type of things that actually are important when driving.

Great review Paul! I’m a 2021 XTerrain owner and love the car but absolutely hate the useless self steering feature. I’m glad your video demonstrates exactly what I’ve experienced. Always hugging the line and doesn’t know where it is half the time. Despite multiple complaints to my dealership and directly to IUA they’re not interested in fixing it and the offical response is “it’s working as intended”. Madness.
Love the dmax since 2019 my dad drives the new single cab and I love it it reliable comfortable and it can go anywhere can't wait for the peagout trendmark one based on the navara
I prefer the prices stay more affordable rather than having unnecessary features. Our desire for more luxuries such as digital gauge cluster and 13inch infotainment is pushing the prices higher and higher constantly.
Hi Paul, long time fan here mate 👍 Just a suggestion to add into the review to get 3 people setting at the back to test comfort if back-seat is accommodating.. it's something CARWOW does and I think it's brilliant 👌 Also luggage fitting using litre size tagged bags to see how many bags you could fit at once in the boot! Keep up the good works 💪
Hi Paul I have a XT and agree with a lot of what you said. Computer system is junk. Regarding TC there's 2 "off" modes you only entered the first. You need to keep holding it for about 5s and a second light comes on. Not sure it would have helped but something to remember for all isuzu tc
Pro Tip; if you go off-road (the serious stuff) just go to low range or put the diff lock on and it will disengage traction control. Using traction control over low range or the diff lock when they are available is just a time waste.
More to the point who starts their car from a standstill whilst in a rut in 2wd most cars would just spin. Traction control is not a subsitute for low range.
The dashboard gauges is much more aggressive lookin’ than the MUX’s hoping to have a fix on that for the new MUX and they gotta have the 360 degress camera.
Something that has been bothering me a bit for a while is that in the close-up shots of these videos, the audio is often out of sync. I know that these close-ups probably don't even have their own sound but more often than not Paul is making the same kinda sounds that would fit the close-ups as they play but they're then out of sync. It's a nitpick and there might not even be a good way to avoid this but it still confuses me sometimes. I hope any of this made sense.
Mate, traction control systems on isuzu is perfectly good. What is not good is that they using highway terrain tires and not the all-terrain and that's what I have noticed. That bridgestone duelers that they are using are sucks. Not a good tire at all...
The rims on those are beautiful 👌🏾 I personally prefer that those kind of vehicles come with the less screen possible as it ages very badly in regards to physical buttons
I am a ford ranger Wildtrak owner. I love my car NOW, But I’ve had two transmissions since new. I have now heard the latest Ford Ranger V6 is also inferior, runs super hot and breaks down. It seems the same problem…I guess an after market trans cooler could help? I don’t want to spend 80k on upgrading to a new Wildtrak if I have to go thru the same issues? Can you report on this please? I’m thinking about a total switch to the D Max. I tow a caravan, 21’6 over two tonne. The ford does it ok. The DMax what’s that like for towing? Is the transmission ok, do they have issues like the Ranger? I’m more confused what to buy now. Why is it so hard? Can you assist please
Hi. Wanted to comment on the road test for the new d Max ute. Very disappointing about the traction control system. 😕 The MUX has what us called "Rough Terrrain Mode", which works on both 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel high & low. Does the Ute have these settings ? If so, was it used ? If both have this Mode and it was used, then I would seriously consider looking at another 4WD that displayed better off road abilities. 2) When Paul is assessing a vehicle that has no spare tyre it would very appropriate, in my opinion, that he at least mentions it. As this factor alone is very important for Australian Motorists who intend to travel a lot in the country, where as a 'puncture regards kit' would not at all be appropriate. Good show. Keep it up. Thank you. Hyrom Jones. 👌👍🙂
Good to see a new key design, maybe I'm an anomaly but with my 2022 I kept finding the car unlocked as the button is very sensitive and not recessed enough and would get knocked accidentally. I've resorted to wrapping the button in electrical tape as a temporary solution.
I think it's sorely biased to always sideline the Mitsubishi Triton when pointing out ute competitors for the mainstream makes and models. The Triton is 3rd best seller in the segment. Navara and D-Max are behind the Ranger, Hilux and Triton.
As much as I love the DBanger, I am disappointed that you can't use the diff lock in 2wd. And the traction control is not very effective. Otherwise, it's a bloody good ute 🙂
Good job Tall, however I actually like to hear my engine. I have the MUX and having to drive a fair range of vehicles it is definitely an advantage. I know many people say the Isuzu is noisy but I can tell a whole stack of stuff by listening to my engine particularly if there is an issue...which so far I haven't with my Isuzu

@@brendanbarnes3076 mate I love the way my MUX sounds, has some grunt to the engine. Just be mindful that if you’re towing big loads it can get noisy as you put the pressure on the engine and gearbox. Great cars!!
Thanks Paul - any bling that reduces the look of a Hungarian gift shop works for me - I’ve commented previously on the odd placement of the Isuzu front badge and redundant horizontal chrome strips 🙃 (a simple black grill with centred badge would be perfect) but well done on the rear tailgate assistance because it looks like the car makers are leapfrogging each other on changes - I miss the wheel arch cladding on my old 1997 Subaru Forester because it really did provide excellent ‘brush’ protection - has Isuzu fixed the engine bay body cracking and tearing?
I like the redundancy of an anolog speedo if the digital display decides to fail or visa versa. Full digtal display like in a Ranger looks impressive but if it fails ... well time to get the phone out for gps speed.. A sports bar wouldnt have gone astray either. Good review Paul.
@@alengreen589 I’m saying that once again they are behind the competition. They have always been underpowered and couldn’t even keep up with the competition for years of not even have a rear diff lock. Now they have tried to give a little extra power to match the competition but the competition has also increased power and torque to leave them behind again.
the 22 mux has off road traction modes dont know if they make any difference. and i agree with the gearbox slow to respond. climbing a decent hill with a caravan takes too long to change down a gear. by the time it does your out of the power band.
Finally hidden the roll cover rail drainage tubes in the tray. Shame about the piano black interior trim to show all the scratches and look crap within a month or two. Still no wireless charging is annoying when the perfect space has been made available. Seat heating…really. Seat cooling pls 🙏🏽
Drive a 2021, my lane assist holds pretty good when set to the "green wheel icon", but normal driving it always wants to pull me into the side of the lane. Also the smart cruise control always brakes too late and sometimes even alerts me to press the brakes as it has no idea what its doing - stock ute btw
Thanks Paul. Always great content. To me it seems as if your test unit is faulty. Looks like ZERO traction control and lane keep assist. Perhaps a fuse has blown. w.r.t. your question on TECH. Cruise control, Camera's around the vehicle are very handy when moving into tight spaces and I like Carplay. Thats all i need.
In the EU we only have the 1.9 l engine version and a big problem with the brake discs. They are deformed (especially the original ones) and cannot be changed under warranty. Do you have this problem? in 50,000 km it deforms twice.
Cheap and cheerful design and build to compete at the lower price points in the market. There is no doubt that Isuzu sell mainly on price in the UK at least. They only sell the 1.9 diesel here and it has had a very poor reliability record with great numbers having DPF blockage issues combined with rising oil levels due to fuel dilution. All allegedly.
Old fart here, If you need lane keep assist you are not concentrating hard enough on driving, and if you need it to drive you shouldn't be allowed to drive. Re 4wd system. Not able to drive in 4wd on paved roads at this price point is a joke. Massey Ferguson was same 50 years ago. Cheaper vehicle, not as fancy Triton and Pajero have centre diffs. A more important safety feature than lane keep assist on wet slippery surfaces.
I have the 2022 dmax and I got to say for being even the low spec model it should be standard to have wireless Android auto and all led lights. Get with the times izusu
in the Philippines, we dont get the electronic rear diff-locker for the range topping model 🙁 or you choose the grade below with diff locker but not even a manual cruise control included 🥴
When you opened the glove box there is a small sign with english and Russian alphabet. Is that mean this Australian model is also the same model they are sending to Russian market?
The dmax only need a remap and it will drive so differently because isuzu under tuned the dmax for reliability and Paul should try to review a tuned dmax
@@brycem0 We get the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux and VW Amarok with the more powerful engine, therefore I can’t imagine the EU emissions law is the reason why the 3-litre diesel is not available here.
Right now...isuzu dmax interior cabin is the best in terms of practicality and storage area...the wireless charging will be coming soon since the thailand,malaysian market already receive the wireless charging for the new 2023 model
@@垌爸 only x terrain match the price in international market..lower spec lack few upgrade because of lower price..aussie low spec still got touch screen because after convert currency,they pay more then what we used to pay here in SEA
Hello Paul. Can you make another test wherein I saw one of your vblog about the new Isuzu Dmax that you think is it has more torque than what Isuzu is saying. I'm interested to know if it's really 450nm or a little bit more. Thank you.
Go look at ultimate diesel tuning, they dyno test and tune all the modern dual cabs. Youll be able to see what the actual torque and power figures are.
A true competitor to Ford Ranger... about damn time Ford had some competition! It's actually a new car.. Not 20 year old tech in a 15year old frame! (ahem... HILUX? Cruiser? Triton? BT50?)
Come on Isuzu, pull your finger out and code the best traction control out there - your only 10+ years behind land rover. It would be an issue at wet road intersections too.
@8:20 yeah, I'd prefer the full high-tech infotainment setup. I have a 2022 bt-50, and while the infotainment isn't horrible. It is noticeable when I come from using a fast and updated PC and smartphone to then start using this slightly laggy infotainment. not a deal breaker but it should at least be updatable.
Did he say ‘G’day I’m Tall’😂
😂😂😂
He did yes 😁
Surely he did.
PAUL......
I think he did 🤣🤣🤣
Might be in the minority here, I actually prefer analogue dials for the speedometer and tachometer binacle over the fancy digital cockpit.
Fact
Can still see them in the sun too, not like digital.
Ditto
I don’t think your the minority mate. People that use these cars want exactly that. Reviewers and people that use these occasionally are the loud minority that these manufacturers pander to.
You might not be the minority.
The question on everyones lips is - Can it tow a Jet Ski while cutting in-front of people while going straight from the "left turn only" lane?
Yes, it's also suitable for overtaking at 110km/h in a residential 50 zone over double lines with your tradie tool trailer.

That would be because, like the vast majority of motoring journalists (if you can call them that) think that the sun shines out of Toyota’s arse!
That’s because everything is rubbish on the Toyota for the price they sell them for. It works, but it’s B grade rubbish.
I tried to imagine the 2023 Isuzu Dmax X-TERRAIN
Dmax in thailand,malaysia already receive wireless charging upgrade for 2023 year model...a bit shame you guys in aussie didnt get the same upgrade...
In Europe, we don’t get the 3-litre engine. We only have the 1.9-litre diesel.
You can blame the E.U emissions law for that.
@@brycem0 We get the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux and VW Amarok with the more powerful engine, therefore I can’t imagine the EU emissions law is the reason why the 3-litre diesel is not available here.
If hilux can sell the 2.8 and ranger the "new" 3.0 in Europe I'm sure that Isuzu can sell their 3.0 as well.
I think the 3l is available joe
@@Cous1nJack Not in Europe. We only get the 1.9.
When is the all new Toyota Prado coming out
@CarExpertAus hey Paul I notice sometimes you have 2 watches in on why is that?
Analog dials + a nice screen in the middle!
Don't like full digital dails (and that's why I'm never going to own a smartwatch as well).
I'm a sucker for fancy tech in cars. 😅
Right now...isuzu dmax interior cabin is the best in terms of practicality and storage area...the wireless charging will be coming soon since the thailand,malaysian market already receive the wireless charging for the new 2023 model
but they only update for x terrain. premium spec yet.
@@垌爸 only x terrain match the price in international market..lower spec lack few upgrade because of lower price..aussie low spec still got touch screen because after convert currency,they pay more then what we used to pay here in SEA
Yes exactly. Thai & Malaysia market version got Diff lock (For all variant include S/cab) & wireless charging.
Do Suzuki Jimny 3 door or Mazda Miata Mx5 🙏
Can you review the Mercedes Benz Glb 35?
Hello Paul. Can you make another test wherein I saw one of your vblog about the new Isuzu Dmax that you think is it has more torque than what Isuzu is saying. I'm interested to know if it's really 450nm or a little bit more. Thank you.
Go look at ultimate diesel tuning, they dyno test and tune all the modern dual cabs. Youll be able to see what the actual torque and power figures are.
Nice truck I love it
TCS system in Isuzu is just a dash light.
Just wait until it develops a DPF problem like mine did after 45k. Isuzu Australia refused to repair under warranty.
It's because they knew you wouldn't contest it. You could have literally made them pay if you went to fair trading.
I prefer basic stuff that look good
Can you review the new AMG Gls please.
A true competitor to Ford Ranger... about damn time Ford had some competition! It's actually a new car..
Not 20 year old tech in a 15year old frame! (ahem... HILUX? Cruiser? Triton? BT50?)
You may as well say Mazda ute as well. We all know its an Isuzu with a Mazda Jacket on it 👈🤛
Can you review the Range Rover Velar?
Omg ranger lover Paul lol and the 4jj motor nothing like Ford reliability.
Come on Isuzu, pull your finger out and code the best traction control out there - your only 10+ years behind land rover.
It would be an issue at wet road intersections too.
@8:20 yeah, I'd prefer the full high-tech infotainment setup. I have a 2022 bt-50, and while the infotainment isn't horrible. It is noticeable when I come from using a fast and updated PC and smartphone to then start using this slightly laggy infotainment. not a deal breaker but it should at least be updatable.
