THE NEW

Achievement

Duramiles Challenge
We put the Isuzu D-MAX to the test in 2007 by driving from Bangkok to KL using less than a full tank of fuel. Thats 1,501 km on less than a tank! In June 2011, we pushed the D-MAX further. Our range of Isuzu D-MAX pick-ups broke the old record with an incredible drive of 1,600 km on less than a tank. Thats a journey from Bangkok to Ayer Keroh, Malacca with fuel to spare. The D-MAX really does push the limits of fuel efficiency to the max!

Motorsports
The Dakar Rally - quite possibly the toughest, most demanding test for man and machine. On the way to winning this extreme challenge, the Isuzu D-MAX also earned the highest ranking for a 4x4 diesel pick-up. But we didnt stop there. We conquered the most testing terrain to emerge overall champion of the AAM Malaysian 4x4 Rally Championship two years running.

Melt-in Liner
What makes this liner special is the High Frequency Induction Hardening (HFIH) - a special process that melts the cylinder block liners to the block. This 'double-padded' built-in protection keeps the cylinder walls in pristine condition for longer.

Alloy Pistons
These hard-wearing pistons are made from a special heat durable material - Isuzu's High Performance Alloy. With the Thermal Flow Cooling channels, the pistons won't expand under extreme heat conditions and won't come in contact with the walls of the engine. A unique feature in the D-MAX.

With ABS Braking Point

Without ABS

ABS + EBD Solid Cabin Construction

A single piece cabin side construction makes it stronger and less prone to rattles and corrosion.The double-sided galvanized steel sheets increase the rigidity and enhance durability. Anti-lock Braking System prevents the wheels from locking during sudden braking or braking on wet slippery surfaces. Provides better traction and control of the vehicle. Electronic Brake Force Distribution increases the stopping power by adjusting the force between the rear and front wheels of the vehicle.

Grade Logic Control

Automatically selects the ideal gear depending on road conditions and engine speed. It helps to reduce gear shift hunting and improves vehicle control.

Reinforced Chassis

70mm
without Grade Logic Control

A rigid pick-up chassis with the most number of joints. The high performance and thicker frame further increase durability and safety. For better weight distribution and stability, the chassis is reinforced with a specially designed Rear X Cross Member.

Side Door Beam

Solid side beams on all doors absorb the force in a side collision. Minimizes the impact and intrusion to protect passengers.

Wheel Stopper
In a frontal collision, the wheel is prevented from intruding into the front passenger cabin.

Touch-on-the-Fly
The first with a convenient one-button switching from 2-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive and vice versa at speeds up to 100km/h.

Safety Crushable Zones

Accident-prone zones are reinforced to maximize impact absorption and provide maximum protection.

Brake Servo
Upgraded and improved brake servo and bigger caliper area provide ultimate stopping power for added safety.

Key-coded Immobilizer
Isuzu OEM security system with one of the most advanced immobilizer in the pick-up segment.

Dual SRS Airbags

The front SRS (Supplementary Restraint System) airbags provide maximun protection to the driver and passenger in a frontal collision.
