Isuzu D-Max Safety Features
When it comes to choosing a pickup truck for your business, you want to ensure it is tough enough to get the job done and also protect your workers who are out in the field.
Euro NCAP rating
One thing Isuzu prides themselves on is that their Isuzu D-Max models have all achieved a 5-star Euro NCAP rating in the latest rigorous testing.
Euro NCAP rate the safety of a car based on a wide range of factors, including child protection, adult occupant protection and safety assist features to name just a few. The rating is out of 5 stars, with 5 being awarded the highest safety rating and 1 being the lowest safety rating.
The 5-star rating is considered to achieve ‘overall excellent performance in crash protection and well equipped with comprehensive and robust crash avoidance technology’.
The NCAP rating is just one thing to look out for when deciding what car to purchase, it’s also about the safety features that come as standard with the car.
Advanced Driver Assist Systems
Isuzu’s Advanced Driver Assist Systems are standard across all D-Max variants, with a front mounted camera positioned at the top of the windscreen to monitor the road ahead.
