    The D-Max ute and MU-X SUV are designed in Japan by the Isuzu truck maker and produced in the company's Thailand plant. Both are distributed locally by Isuzu Ute Australia, a separate company to the truck maker. The D-Max is available in two and four-wheel drive ute and cab-chassis versions with the choice of dual-cab, space-cab and single cab bodystyles, all with diesel engines. The MU-X seven-seat SUV wagon is also available with a choice of two and four-wheel drive variants, and also has a diesel engine.
