The new record of 9,650 units reaffirms the model’s impressive design and features.
With two consecutive years of record sales in Malaysia, the third-generation Isuzu D-Max continues to be a pick-up truck of choice.
“Since the third-generation D-Max was introduced into Malaysia in 2021, interest in this model has remained consistently high thanks to its good features, excellent driving character, versatile operation and impressive value for money. This new model has expanded our customer base by increasing our conquest sales by 185% while retaining our strong core customer base,” said Isuzu Malaysia’s CEO Shunsuke Okazoe.
There are eight Isuzu D-Max variants, ranging from the Single Cab to the X-Terrain flagship.
Topping in popularity once again is the 1.9-litre Standard variant that contributed 28% in sales.
This variant has been particularly popular due to its modest engine displacement that offers the benefit of lower road tax and lower running costs yet offering spirited performance.
Demand for the flagship X-Terrain variant also continued on a positive uptrend in 2023, bolstered by its exceptional finish, high level of sophistication and highly satisfying on- and off-road performance.
Despite being the neophyte in the premium pick-up truck segment, the Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain has been the trendsetter, growing by a massive 24.5% since its launch by bringing numerous class-leading features with it including a full suite of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS) and a generous 7-year unlimited mileage warranty.
The consistently strong demand for the Isuzu D-Max has seen the brand rise to the No.2 position in Sabah, Kedah and Pahang in the pick-up truck segment and raised the brand to the No.3 position nationwide with a 16.6% market share.
