Isuzu Malaysia Introduces Enhanced D-Max Premium & Z-Prestige

Isuzu Malaysia Sdn Bhd has officially introduced an enhanced Isuzu D-Max with an upgraded interior and exterior alongside a fresh color option.

The Premium D-Max (including 3.0L and 2.5L) and D-Max Z-Prestige are now equipped with a new 8-inch touch screen infotainment system with built-in GPS Navigation, Smart Mirroring, Wi-Fi, AUX-Jack, USB, iPod, Bluetooth and others. This makes the screen more user friendly and the built-in location of official Isuzu outlets enable the customers to find the service outlets easily.

As for another new feature, a sliding cargo tray is installed on the D-Max Z-Prestige variant. It is optional for the rest of the D-Max variants and customers can opt to have this accessory. The cargo tray slides to the back of the cargo area, making goods easier to retrieve when pulled forward to the tail gate.

This also reduces the instances of back injury as the user can lift the weight closer to the body. A new leather seat is also installed into the Isuzu D-Max Premium AT (3.0L) and D-Max Z-Prestige. It exhibits a contemporary sporty design with rectangular geometric shapes. The new color Cavalry Purple Mica will replace the current Nautilus Blue Mica. The appearance of the color is blackish under dark conditions while it impress on the eyes as a dark shade of purple under the sun.

Isuzu Malaysia Chief Operating Officer, Masayuki Suzuki said, “The enhanced D-Max retains our core values (fuel efficiency, durability, and reliability) and the exterior and interior improvements are made in accordance to the user needs so that it will be favorably acknowledged by the users in Malaysia”.

The D-Max Huntsman is the coolest pick-truck right now

Isuzu UK has introduced one of the coolest looking D-Max pick-up trucks we have ever seen. Called the Huntsman, the fittingly named variant of the D-Max comes in a number of colours but the most menacing of the lot has to be matte green, which the company calls ‘Tundra Green’.

Marketed to countrymen who cherish their hunting rights, the vehicle is decked out with a number of notable accessories that include ‘out of sight’ storage for firearms and ample bed space for dog boxes as well as other equipment. There’s also a rough-and-tough high-mounted tow bar that may prove useful when traversing difficult terrain.

On the outside, there isn’t much that catches one’s attention, which is precisely the point. The Huntsman’s distinctive body colour and lack of flashy chrome bits allow it to blend in with the surroundings. This may prove to beneficial when owners are on a game trail and prefer to stay hidden.

The extensive list of accessories that accompany the Huntsman variant of the D-Max include:

Aluminium Drawer System and Flap
Aeroklas Commercial Canopy with Roof Rails and Roof Vent
Under-Rail Bed Liner
Aluminium Under guards & Rear Diff Protector
Black Roof Rails Set
Black Side Bars & Steps
De-Chrome Pack (incl. U-Pol Raptor to Door Handles, Mirrors, Front Grille etc.)
5 x 18″ Black Alloy Wheels with Pirelli All Terrain Tyres
3.5T Tow Bar & 13 Pin Electrics
Tailgate Damper
Premium Protective Mat Set

Isuzu UK says that it will offer this impressive bit of kit as the Huntsman Pack (£5,995/RM32,925.80) that will be made available for purchase to those who already own the double cab variant of the current D-Max. In addition to that, it will also be offering the Pedders Suspension kit for an extra £1,000 (RM5,492.21), which could provide more versatility.

Those wanting a bit more exclusivity can also opt for the new bespoke Huntsman leather interior. And if the matte green body finish isn’t to your liking, you can choose between the Cosmic Black and Obsidian Grey body colours.

The D-Max Huntsman is definitely the coolest pick-up truck name that we have ever come across, and considering who its aimed at (no pun intended), adds to the vehicle’s desirability. Though we aren’t too fond of hunting or game trails here in Malaysia, we would still welcome this Huntsman with open arms.
