The Isuzu D-Max has received a total of 32.2 points for Adult occupant protection and 42.2 points in child occupant protection.
The D-Max is also equipped with a host of driver-assist functions and Euro NCAP has given it 13.4 points which is an evaluation of 83 per cent for safety assist features. The report also states the passenger compartment as stable in the offset frontal crash test. The overall body protection of the test dummies too were rated safe, however, the protection for driver's knees were rated as weak. Some areas in its top hart also show high deformation and it scored a bit less in protection of the opposite vehicle in case of a frontal impact. Along with front and side airbags, the D-Max also gets centre airbags that worked well in protecting occupant-to-occupant interaction, giving good protection to the heads of both the front occupants.
