A facelifted Isuzu D-Max pick-up truck is on the way. The new Isuzu workhorse will go on sale this spring, priced from £15,749.
Under the bonnet the new D-Max gets an all-new 1.9-litre turbodiesel engine, producing 162bhp and 360Nm of torque. The torque figure is down a little compared to the old 2.5-litre unit, but it retains its 3.5 tonne towing capacity and one tonne payload. Isuzu says the new engine is quieter, making for a a lot more refined driving experience. Importantly, it’s compliant with Euro 6 emission standards, and must deliver better fuel economy alongside lower exhaust emissions.
In terms of looks the updated D-Max will gets a new grille, bumper, bonnet and tailgate design, plus LED daytime running lights. Inside, it will get a new 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, roof-mounted loudspeakers and various trim updates to keep it competitive.
