The 2020 Isuzu D-Max ute has been released in Thailand. A power boost for the 3.0-litre engine, better off-road ability, advanced safety tech, Apple Car Play and Android Auto are the headline acts.
The next generation Isuzu D-Max has officially broken cover in Thailand ahead of its Australian showroom arrival in 2020.
Loaded with technology, the new model has catapulted the Isuzu D-Max from a bare bones proposition to one of the most advanced utes in the class.
These latest images taken from the Isuzu website in Thailand show the next generation Isuzu D-Max is all-new from the ground up and has grown in every dimension.
The big news is under the bonnet: the 3.0-litre turbo diesel four-cylinder lives on and has been given a power boost from the current model’s 130kW/430Nm output to 140kW/450Nm.
This power figure puts the new Isuzu D-Max into the thick of the action among the class leaders (Ford Ranger 2.0TT 157kW/500Nm, Toyota HiLux 130kW/450Nm, Mitsubishi Triton 133kW/430Nm, Holden Colorado 147kW/500Nm, Nissan Navara 140kW/450Nm, Mazda BT-50 147kW/470Nm).
The new Isuzu D-Max promises to be more capable off-road. A rear differential lock has finally been added (the current Isuzu D-Max doesn’t even have a limited-slip, it’s an open diff) and the wading depth has increased from 600mm to 800mm, equal best with the Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50. Any deeper and these utes will start to float.
Hill descent control and hill start assist will also form part of the off-road package. The front brake discs have grown from 300mm to 320mm in diameter but the rears appear to still be drum brakes.
The interior of the new Isuzu D-Max has had a major makeover and is a big leap forward from the basic design of the current model.
In the centre of the dash is a 9.0-inch tablet-style central touchscreen with Apple Car Play and Android Auto, and the instrument cluster has a large 4.2-inch digital dash display – with a digital speedometer.
Among the long list of basic mod-cons added – not available on the current D-Max – include one-touch three-flash indicators, dusk-sensing headlights, rain-sensing wipers and height-and-reach adjustable steering.
A sensor key with push-button start unlocks the vehicle within 2 metres of approach and automatically locks when the sensor key is moved more than 3 metres away.
An eight-speaker surround sound audio system is available on top-end models. Flagship versions also get perforated leather sports seats.
To cool the cabin in summer and warm it in winter before you get in, certain variants of the new Isuzu D-Max have remote engine start. Dual zone air-conditioning is available and rear air vents have been added for back seat passengers.
The new D-Max is available with a UV-protection windscreen and has “wet” wiper arms (the washer nozzles are embedded into the blade rather than squirting from the bonnet).
Meanwhile, new factory-fitted parking sensors have four sensor heads each for the front and rear for more accurate warnings. The extra parking sensors form part of the new Isuzu D-Max's auto parking mode, which means the power steering has switched from hydraulic to electric. The rear bumper now has a more integrated design.
The video presentation to media in Thailand showed the new Isuzu D-Max will be available with advanced safety aids such as rear cross-traffic alert and blind zone warning. Although autonomous emergency braking was not highlighted, this is expected to be added to Australian models given it is now a requirement for five-star safety ratings.

Put on headphones with xtreme bass and youll cry with this amazing soundtrack that goes with this amazing video. That truck is amazing in every single way. Its well designed, its unique from all the other trucks that cough cough practically look the same. On top of that it looks way more futuristic and the body such as the lines and curves are beautiful.

Isuzu finally decides to step up and compete! I love it. It's a well-loved brand for its engines, but other brands like Toyota and Ford seemed to have an advantage over Isuzu in other aspects. This new line of D-Max really covered all the bases, and didn't slack off on the both interior and exterior design.

Impresionante,!!! Realmente es un carro que transita con mucha propiedad, haciéndose imponente ante cualquier terreno

Wow what a car, I have an MUX and love it, the new MUX will be mine.

Arguably compelling bakkie! I hope I can test drive this soon & see it it fits me & my utilitarian needs as a professional agriculturist. Hoping to see this ute on Philippine roads very soon!

Why can't they bring that to the USA? It's a damn good looking truck. Plus Isuzu has the best diesels in the world.
