WINNER: ISUZU D-MAX SX

摘要

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE 4X4 DUAL-CAB THAT WILL COST YOU THE LEAST OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD, THE D-MAX IS THE ONE. EXCELLENT RESALE, frugal fuel efficiency, and the lowest insurance premiums of all our contenders are the secret to the D-Max's inherent value, with these low ownership costs helping to offset a slightly higher-than-average purchase price. For maximum bang for your buck, it's the entry-level SX Crew Cab 1.9L that's kindest to your hip pocket, though opting for the more powerful 3.0L turbo-diesel doesn't actually bring a huge financial penalty. The SX 3.0-litre will cost you only $430 more to run over three years (higher fuel bills account for most of that), which further underscores the D-Max's inherent value. What's more, the 3.0L D-Max actually slots into second place overall with a cost figure of $26,622 over three years.
