Isuzu Motors South Africa is further bolstering its D-Max Single Cab LS range in South Africa with the inclusion of new features.
Additionally, several new safety, comfort and convenience features have been added to the Extended Cab and Double Cab models, making them an even more compelling choice in the highly competitive bakkie market in South Africa.
As with the Extended Cab and Double Cab derivatives, the LS trim is externally differentiated from the L models through the fitment of 17-inch alloy wheels in place of steel rims, along with colour-coded finishes for the front fascia, mirror covers and door handles.

The mirrors also gain power adjustment, while driving visibility at night is enhanced with the inclusion of halogen front fog lamps as standard.
Long stints behind the wheel will be a cinch thanks to the inclusion of cruise control as standard on the new LS models, along with a seven-inch infotainment screen that incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility for seamless smartphone integration.
The impressive list of standard safety features shared with the rest of the D-MAX Single Cab line-up includes ABS brakes with EBD and BAS, Electronic Stability Control with Traction Control, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control, Trailer Sway Control, as well as dual front airbags.
