The third-generation Isuzu D-Max facelift was introduced in Thailand last October and was showcased at this year’s Bangkok International Motor Show, so here’s a small gallery of the updated pick-up truck.
In terms of styling tweaks, the latest D-Max gets a reprofiled grille and new bumper, the latter with sharper cutouts for the fog lamp enclosures. Another noticeable change are the headlamps that have a sleeker shape and incorporate a new daytime running light signature.
Moving to the rear, the pick-up truck’s taillights now have a triple-tier configuration to accompany the new tailgate. As for the interior, the instrument panel gets a larger seven-inch multi-info display in higher trims, which also come with paddle shifters. Higher trims come with an ADAS suite that includes autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and automatic high beam.
In Thailand, the D-Max comes in five trim levels, including the Spark, Spacecab, Cab 4, Hi-Lander, V-Cross and X-Series. The engine line-up consists of two inline-four turbodiesel options, which are the RZ4E-TC 1.9 litre and 4JJ3-TCX 3.0 litre.
The former is rated at 150 PS (148 hp or 110 kW) at 3,600 rpm and 350 Nm of torque from 1,800 to 2,600 rpm. Meanwhile, the 3.0 litre unit outputs 190 PS (188 hp or 140 kW) at 3,600 rpm and 450 Nm from 1,600 to 2,600 rpm. Depending on the chosen variant-powertrain combination, customers can either get a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, with or without four-wheel drive.
In terms of pricing, the two-door models which include the workhorse Spark starts from 577,000 baht (about RM75k), while the extended cab is from 650,000 baht (RM84k) for the Spacecab and from 758,000 baht (RM98k) for the Hi-Lander.
The four-door D-Max starts at 731,000 baht (RM95k) for the Cab 4 and from 865,000 baht (RM112k) for the Hi-Lander. As for the V-Cross, it is starts from 917,000 baht (RM119k) and can be had as a two-door extended cab or a four-door cab. The same is also true of the X-Series that ranges from 748,000 to 1.107 million baht (RM97k to RM144k).
