Which variant to buy
Most private buyers should begin with the 1.9L 4x4 AT Standard at RM116,999: it gets five seats, 4x4, an automatic gearbox and the 187 hp 1,898 cc diesel. If you do not need 4x4, the 1.9L 4x2 Auto Plus costs RM109,499 and also has 187 hp. Fleet and site users should look at the Single Cab manuals, from RM98,949 for 1.9L 4x4 or RM105,888 for 3.0L 4x4. Pay more for the 3.0L 4x4 AT Premium or X-Terrain only if you want the bigger 2,999 cc engine and higher trim.

Verdict
The D-Max covers more than one type of pick-up buyer, from low-ride 4x2 manual to 3.0-litre 4x4 automatic X-Terrain. Its RM92,199 starting price sits below the Nissan Navara, JMC Vigus Pro and Mitsubishi Triton entry prices, though the upper variants pass RM140k. Malaysia remains diesel-led with no confirmed EV or mild-hybrid plans. Sales strength is clear: the D-Max was Malaysia’s second best-selling pick-up in 2025, with 15% market share.
