PETALING JAYA: Isuzu Malaysia has launched the new D-Max Double Cab 1.9-litre 4x2 Manual Low Ride pick-up truck priced at RM92,199 on the road without insurance.
The company started taking orders for the affordable variant on Jan 14.
It comes with a five-year or 150,000km warranty (whichever is first)
“The new Isuzu D-Max Low Ride is designed to deliver significant value to its owners. The back-to-basics features and fuss-free functionality are aimed at keeping operating costs low while delivering high-levels of productivity,” said Isuzu Malaysia CEO Shunsuke Okazoe.
Power comes from the 1.9-litre RZ4E-TC engine that produces 150PS and 350Nm of torque available from 1,800rpm to 2,600rpm mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, with overdrive available in the top two gears.
Key to its appeal is the lower loading deck that is a comfortable 78cm above ground, some 5% lower than the high ride’s load height.
Apart from easier loading and unloading of heavy goods, accessibility over the sill is also greater, thus crew members can easily retrieve items from the cargo bed that boasts a payload capacity of 930kgs.
It sports a stylish front bumper finished in body-coloured Splash White.
Embedded in the bumper is a fog lamp cum DRL for greater road presence. Halogen headlights offer illumination and include a follow-me-home function.
The pick-up truck rides on 16-inch alloy wheels featuring 215/70 R16 tyres.
For convenience, the door mirrors are power adjusted while the four windows are electrically-operated.
The central locking system is speed-activated with an override button.
Inside, there are fabric seats and a tilt-and-reach adjustable steering column, a 3.5-inch multi-information display, single-DIN audio player with USB port, and a 12-volt power socket.
For safety, there are Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS), Hill Start Assist (HSA) and Hill Descent Control (HDC).
