Isuzu D-Max Single Cab LS (2024) Price & Specs
Isuzu Motors SA has expanded its D-Max Single Cab range to include new, higher-spec LS variants, while also rolling out the 3.0-litre turbodiesel engine to this body style…
Isuzu Motors South Africa has effectively doubled its D-Max Single Cab line-up by launching 5 new LS derivatives. In the process, the Japanese firm’s local division has also extended the 140 kW/450 Nm 3.0-litre turbodiesel engine to this workhorse body style.
Previously, single-cab versions of the current-generation, Struandale-built D-Max bakkie were available only in base and L specification – and only with the 110 kW/350 Nm 1.9-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel motor. Now, however, the single-cab range includes a trio of 1.9 LS derivatives and a pair of 3.0 LS newcomers, taking the total to 10 variants.
The 1.9 LS is available in 4×2 guise paired with either a 6-speed manual or an automatic cog-swapper with the same number of gears, as well as in 4×4 form (only with the self-shifting gearbox). Both 3.0 LS derivatives come equipped with the 6-speed automatic transmission, though there’s a choice of 4×2 and 4×4 configurations.

Isuzu Motors SA says the LS trim level provides “additional styling, comfort and convenience features”, saying these new variants are pitched at “owner-operators who spend long hours behind the wheel and are looking for something a bit more upmarket and comfortable to suit their everyday needs”.
As is the case with the extended- and double-cab models, the LS grade includes 17-inch alloy wheels (rather than steelies), along with colour-coded finishes for the front bumper, side-mirror caps and exterior door handles. The side mirrors furthermore score power adjustment, while front fog lamps are also added. Inside, the LS models gain cruise control as well as Isuzu’s 7-inch infotainment screen (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto).
Extended- and double-cab models score spec tweaks
Elsewhere in the D-Max range, Isuzu Motors SA says it has added “several new safety, comfort and convenience features” to various extended- and double-cab models. In the case of the L grade, these body styles gain running boards as standard, while the LSE extended cab scores blacked-out B-pillars.
Extended- and double-cab versions of the LSE also win partial-leather seats, including 8-way power adjustment for the driver and front passenger, as well as a far-side airbag (previously reserved for the top-spec V-Cross variants). Meanwhile, a remote engine start feature has been rolled out to LSE, V-Cross and AT35 models.
