The new Isuzu D-Max, which made its debut back in October 2019 in the South Asia region, to reach the UK market as the first examples will arrive in dealerships across the country this March.
The new Isuzu D-Max features a more modern
and aggressive exterior design, with the front end dominated by a huge grille
and a sharply defined bumper, in addition to the new Bi-LED lights that will be
standard fit on higher-spec models.
Perhaps the biggest departure from the
previous generation model can be found inside, where the new truck is getting
an all-new dashboard design with soft-touch materials and a new infotainment
system, making the interior of the D-Max more premium than ever.
Under the skin, the new D-Max rides on a
strengthened ladder chassis that features larger rails and an extra panel for
more extensive underbody protection. This is combined with new front and rear
suspension, better sound-proofing, and a new speed-sensitive power steering.
The all-new D-Max will be available in the
UK market with a single, Euro 6D-compliant diesel engine producing 162 HP and 360 Nm of torque paired to either a standard six-speed
manual or an optional six-speed automatic transmission, with the latter
offering 25 percent faster gear changes compared to the previous model.
Moreover, models fitted with four-wheel-drive are getting a shift-on-the-fly
4WD system, as well as a rear diff-lock on the All-Purpose and Adventure
grades.
The new Isuzu D-Max will be available in
four trim levels and three cab types – single, extended, and double cab.
Standard equipment includes Autonomous Emergency Braking, Traffic Sign
Recognition, Intelligent Speed Limiter, and Lane Departure Warning &
Prevention, while the new D-Max will also be the only pickup truck in the UK to
feature a rear radar as standard on all double cab models.
