They should have given it a 2l engine with at least 125kw and 400nm of torque. But I'd still get it but in manual. Taking it in auto with those numbers is not enticing.
I see that the facelifted D-Max has been launched in Australia, its an improvement over this one. My take is that the "old instrument panel styling" and the 1.9 L engine will be the D-Max's achilles heal when the new Triton, new Navara are launched. One can get a more powerful good demo or used Hilux or Ranger for the same price as a new X-style and I see buyers opting for those options instead of what the market will assume is an underwhelming driving experience.
Why would i buy a hilux when i live in South Africa? But your point is valid. I like the looks and the fuel efficiency. I'd go for the X Rider but in manual. Manuals are meant for under powered vehicles.
4x4 is always a good buy and a good option to always have especially if you have a bakkie cause you don’t know when you will need it. But if your entire usage of the bakkie will not involve 4x4 then might as well save money and get a 4x2
Aren’t those 18” rims?
Yes, they sure are! Thanks for noticing. I mispoke.
No worries mate
I will take a Isuzu anyway, the best bakkie
It really looks sporty for the price😊. I saw the LEDs day run lights flashing, is that standard or an added feature?
The 1.9 L engine is the only thing odd about it and puts a lot of prospective buyers off.

@@lesediseemela9856 you should go work for Isuzu and design the engines. You must be an expert
The 1.9 is a fast seller and the most sold compared to 3.0L.
@@anir85sarkar it’s not that deep.

Interesting take✅, i did see the facelift from au, been trying to get my hands on the triton and navara they seem more than worthy rivals

I like the bakkie concerned about 1.9 engine
It does mean less power than most bakkies, but i believe i would go for it, i would opt for the manual variant
Pls compare Xrider with JAC T9
Is the 4 x 4 a good buy?
