Isuzu Malaysia has launched the D-MAX 2.5 Super Commonrail fitted with a 4JK1-TC 2.5 litre engine with the Direct-Injection Electronic Commonrail system. This new model, available in the double-cab form only will be sold alongside the current 2.5 litre which is already on sale. It comes with a non-commonrail direct injection system.
This engine produces 79 PS at 3,900 RPM and 176Nm of torque at 1,800 RPM. The new engine on the other hand makes 116 PS at 3,600 RPM and 280Nm of torque between 1,800 and 2200 RPM. This basically means that the power difference is 37 PS and 104Nm, quite significant actually.
Furthermore, the D-MAX 2.5 Super Commonrail is available with a 4×4 configuration as the less potent variant maintains its 4×2 layout. The new variant continues to use the 5-speed manual transmission featured in the non-commonrail model. There are two trim levels available, including the base Type-B and the Premium.
The latter comes additionally with projector headlights, fog lamps, indicators integrated into the wing mirrors, dual airbags, as well as ABS with EBD. Also in the list is a 2-DIN audio unit with MP3 and WMA compatibility, Isuzu’s e-Lumax instrument panel with a multi-info display, aero-type side steps and a leather-wrapped gear knob. Both trim levels also benefit from a limited-slip differential and an anti-theft alarm system with key-coded immobilizer.
The 2.5 Super Commonrail will be available at all Isuzu dealerships nationwide beginning October 1st. Price details will also be available on the same date but expect the range topping Premium model to be priced at about RM89,000. Isuzu also announced the Smart Saver campaign where customers who purchase the double-cab D-MAX will be entitled to a free Garmin GPS unit and a cash rebate. This promotion is valid till November 30th.
UPDATE: The D-MAX 2.5 Super Commonrail Type-B is priced at RM82,155.40 OTR with insurance (for solid paint finish) while the Premium spec goes for RM88,411.40 OTR with insurance (for solid paint finish).

yo la…email me for the best price….
nais
Wow five speed manual transmission.
LOL~! I think what u mean is why still five speed? While others already went for 6-speed manual & Auto..
nothing new with the five speed manual…even the old land rover tdi have 6 speed manual
navara too
Wow…finally the CRDi arrived for the 2.5l. If there was an auto 4×2 option it’d be a huge seller
So Toyota Hilux’ 2.5L Common Rail is the least powerful turbo diesel engine available in Malaysia?
We wait for the 3.0..
3.0 road tax will put off many people. Double of 2.5 le.
Still lose to a Triton.
But, with good diesel tuning box, I’m sure it can beat the Hilux flat!
Triton owners now are having an aftersales issue, as parts for Triton are getting more & more expensive and the durability have been a drawback. Have seen a few Triton owners after a few years using have sold/trade off just to buy Navara…
Yezzzzzzaaaaaahhhhh…I’m Agree as a Navara owner..
i dont know about Navara, but i hv heard the old frontier owners hv some problem with the malfunction of the turbo unit..its cost rm7k to replace..donno weather the reliable issue or not poor maintenance by the owners
never heard any prob regarding to turbo as my dad use frontier. just serviced the turbo, but at that time the mileage is 220k. reason to service : baru tau turbo mesti maw servis, ingat xpayah.hahaha.
My 2004 Frontier was leaking badly and the estimated cost to repair the turbo is around RM 6k.
So, in the end, I trade it for a Navara 2.5 SE because TCM is offering up to RM 50k in trade in value. The offer was back in March 2010.
Is that so?
I have 2 units of 2007 Triton 2.5 Auto and 2010 Navara 2.5 SE (6-speed manual).
What parts issue u talking about?
The only problem is the 2008/2009 batch with tilting chassis and 2010 with turbo problem.
For 2006/2007, no issues so far.
No doubt the Navara can accelerate faster but with a diesel tuning box, even the Triton can chase down a Navara at 175kph (recorded on GPS).
sorry off topic a while.
paul, i saw a trailer recently on the NKVE near the Subang exit stretch carrying 3 white peugeots. 1 of them is a 308 CC. The other 1 is a 3008 and the third i forgot.
Anyway, what interest me is seeing the 308 CC. Any news on whether it will be launched by Naza group?
Have personally seen it upclose a few times in SG and it’s really a beauty. If Naza can CKD this and launch it at a competitive price, then will be the best.
Did you really see it? I’m going to buy this car. However, it hasn’t been launched.
Hi..everybody..sorry different topics.how about toyota alphard 2006 2.4 normal spec.
any people got experince.how the maintaine ? expensive?car conditoin?market price?
can shared with me?thank you all …
2006 still quite new, quite many of them running around so it should not be too pricey.
kennytan: try to Ask whoever greasemonkey..Ask them, how to replacing the Toyota Alphard, Estima..or whatsoever MPV…Remember..Ask them “How to replacing timing belt”…You will konw it..hehe
Bro! If you want to learn more about Alphard, log on to our club.
All the sifu are ready to assist you.
Dont just wondering around with those un-experience sifu.
Cheers. See You There…!!
i can say that i have a soft spot for d-max…nice and sleek..
For me it is Isuzu brand. :)
Huh ? only 116 PS at 3,600 RPM and 280Nm of torque between 1,800 and 2200 RPM.. it will take years for it to reach speed. Does it comes with VGM turbo ? When the red light turns green.. you will be crawling ..others wud juz overtake and look at you !!
For your information, this model do not have VG turbo. Only 3.0L Super Comon Rail sold in Thailand has VG turbo installed.
how does it work(VG turbo)? where can i get it & cost?
It is more than enough to be driven fast. Look at the torque figures. Between 1800 and 2200, doesn’t mean you don’t get any torque at any other revs. Those 1st generation Ford Rangers had almost the same output, and they can shame most of the protons out there.
But why the hell do you want to drive fast in a pick-up truck, You want fast get something else.
Ooi, why no 2.5 Auto ?
Automatic gearbox will ruin D-Max’ name for best in fuel consumption among pickup trucks.
The Mother Trucker will have it for lunch after eating the Tit-on for breakfast…
well, at least D-Max is sooooo much better than the ridiculous sissy Tiga Tan…
Midnite,
My Triton with unichip, I finished my lunch and saw the Mother trucker (so call for mum ) just placing order..
Fast is not the game for 4×4..
Well just imagine if the Mother Trucker had a Unichip (aka one fry)… it’ll eat the Unichip Tit-on for breakfast, regurgitate it and pee all over it.
Who said speed is the game for 4×4? must be the jokers who let Karak hway spank them silly yesterday, was it you?
I seriously hope that Isuzu will come up with the all-new D-MAX, instead of keep facelifting and launching new variant of the aging D-MAX. Good car, but in the face of newer competitors, I can’t help but notice its age already…..and hopefully with all-new model, the bouncy ride and cramped rear seats of the existing D-MAX can be resolved.
Better buy the diesel pickups now. 2012 all diesel pickups will have to comply with EURO V and will come with high output diesel turbo and supercharger combo engine to generate 160hp from a puny 1.6 diesel. Probably the injectors are pumping at 3000psi! Imagine the maintenance and only the service centers can maintain it..
Google new global Ford Ranger due release 2012.
Are you sure our G will upgrade the diesel fuel to Euro V compliant, which sulphur content is reduced to 10ppm or less?
Well….What i’m thinking…all double cab model are the same..The main purpose is to make us moving to another place very easy..the point is.. “Different People, Different perception..” This is the real challenge to the inventors or innovators facing (market) peoples with different perception..
like the desin outside with a great fuel consumption but ISUZU pls do sumthing with the rear seat .nowdays is not just typical contractor only likes pick up truck laa.family and outdoor guys loves it too.put more effort to make it more spacious n comfort laa.and when does the MU-7 (hope i get it rite) gonna bring in.our manufacture neigbour been enjoyin it for some years already.what a shame laa
anyone have idea about the fuel consumptions of this engine..whether its better then the super save 3.0 common rail unit?
The Hilux Vigo
PS = 102 / 3,600
Torque = 260 / 1,600-2,400
The Latest 2.5 Dmax
116 PS at 3,600 RPM and 280Nm of torque between 1,800 and 2200 RPM.
The 2.5 Hilux Vigo PS = 102 at 3,600 and Torque = 260Nm between 1,600-2,400 which one is better?
rear tire fender look like Tata Telcoline !!
Is Tata that looks like D-Max.
the front looks like cadillac
aging model
d-max not my taste.
prefer navara or hilux.
They know that idea to producing the 3.0 ltr or 2.5 4×2 was a big mistake. That was a rubbish.
D-MAx Rockkss..U shud google the xtreme version..wif metal bar n wide tires..
Triton tried but it look really oddball..Like Storm Troopers wif an enlarge head…wahahahah
My collection of 4wd Ranger01 & Frontier05 both sold. Now searching for Auto truck. While deciding between 6pseed Actyon – High spec & budget too/ Navara – pricey & have to wait 4months / Triton – my third choice / Hilux – Saw at least 10 units terbalik at highway while i travelling. Any comment on Actyon ???
Just email me for new ISUZU DMAX, call for the best price
would it be great if the bucket are made longer a few inches just like mitsu did with triton add a few inches to the bucket.
Yo laa… i felt so frustrated to sell this car. when im think what have ACM done much to get Isuzu’s name in malaysian standard. Even the dealer ship still to be continuining, my feeling , JV with ISUZU seems to be ended. Bye bye Isuzu trucks, China truck will control your market segment in Malaysia in less than 5 years.( my opinian only)
We Sales people will continue our efford to sell what relevant product in the market. what people want and need.
This is the best pick up among others in terms of technology.
