The new Isuzu D-Max facelift will be launched in Malaysia on May 14, 2024 at 7pm. This is according to a dedicated page on Isuzu Malaysia’s website where the public can register their interest for the updated pick-up truck, which made its initial debut in Thailand last October.
Styling changes for the D-Max, which is currently in its third generation, include a reprofiled front grille that still retains the “fang-like” insert. There’s also a new front bumper with sharper cutouts for the fog lamps, while the headlamps have been reshaped and feature a different daytime running light signature that wraps along the top portion of each cluster.
At the rear, the taillights get a more distinctive triple-tier look and the tailgate has been tweaked so there are creases at the top and bottom rather than on the sides, as on the pre-facelift model. While the exterior changes are noticeable, the interior remains largely unchanged with a pretty identical dashboard layout.
In Thailand, higher trims get a larger seven-inch multi-info display and paddle shifters, along with an ADAS suite that includes autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and automatic high beam.
Based on the ROI page on Isuzu Malaysia’s website, the refreshed D-Max will be offered in a variety of variants and powertrain configurations. The latter should include returning turbodiesel engines like the 4JJ3-TCX 3.0 litre inline-four with 190 PS and 450 Nm of torque along with the RZ4E-TC 1.9 litre inline-four making 150 PS and 350 Nm. Transmission options include a six-speed manual and automatic, with four-wheel drive being standard on most variants. Here’s what’s listed on the page:

Honestly, forget about the 3.0L version. No one will buy in Malaysia because of our stupid roadtax calculation
Different story for our Sabahan and Sarawakian friends. They have different roadtax calculation where 3.0L is cheap there.
Add a 1.9 Xterrain spec for the Semenanjungites please
East Malaysia Banyak 3.0
Ya…for sarawak 3.0L around 4++ also..Sabah a bit cheaper..well what to do if u compare with geographical landscape its the only vehicle can transport u safely…however the road become better and better nowadays
The premium version looks better this round than flagship lol
For me honestly the pre facelift looks better..
The current D-MAX is CBU or CKD?
