Isuzu Motors revealed the next-generation of its pick-up truck D-max V-cross in the Thailand market back in October 2019. Globally, it has been in production since 2011 that makes it 9 years old in the auto market. The all-new 2020 model of Isuzu D-max incorporates the infinite potential theme as the automaker has added premium styling elements to its pick-up truck on the outside and inside and equipped it with high-tech features. It will gradually enter other auto markets around the world in 2020 now.

Under the hood, it’s powered with a newly developed 3.0-litre turbo-diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission which possesses more power than its predecessor. It offers a maximum output power of 188 hp and a maximum torque of 450 Nm.
D- Max V-cross Exterior:
Isuzu D-max is now designed with a much bolder outlook through its reshaped front radiator grille, which has fang-like inserts.

The instrument cluster of the vehicle is also completely revamped with a 4.2-inch digital display that features a digital speedometer. Furthermore, the air-conditioning vents at the front have been reshaped as triangular by the auto manufacturer. There are also silver elements around the display area and the AC vents.
