Since its debut on Philippine roads in 2003, the Isuzu D-MAX has witnessed Filipino drivers’ ever-changing needs and wants.
From its humble origins as an all-around workhorse, the Isuzu D-MAX has changed to a vehicle that checks all the right boxes for every Filipino family. The 2024 Isuzu D-MAX is a testament to how Isuzu has created a vehicle made for every Filipino.
Beyond a powerhouse
When it debuted in 2003, the Isuzu D-MAX came in two distinct engine configurations. A 2.4-liter inline-four gasoline engine with a maximum power of 123 hp and 207Nm of torque, and a 3.0-liter turbodiesel with up to 161hp max power output and 360Nm of torque. The engine power made it a perfect match for those looking for a reliable workhorse.
Fast forward to 2024, and the All-New Isuzu D-MAX now comes with a 3.0-liter (4JJ3-TCX) diesel engine touting the brand’s Blue Power engine innovation. It delivers 190 hp maximum output and a staggering 450Nm of torque. The Blue Power engine is powerful and also is very fuel efficient, a perfect combination for everyone. Isuzu is also offering a 1.9-liter (RZ4E) diesel engine variant with 150 hp and 350 Nm of torque.
Apart from the powerful engine, Isuzu has fitted the 2024 D-MAX with a more durable chassis for improved handling, stability, and durability. Go anywhere with its new Rough Terrain Mode and new Differential Lock, higher ground clearance, and up to 800mm water wading.
The new engines and body improvements show how the Filipino’s taste in pickup trucks has changed over the years. The pickup truck is now more than a work partner but a daily driver, a 4×4 powerhouse, and even a reliable family road trip stead.
Going beyond the workhorse
From its humble origins as an all-around work partner, the Isuzu D-MAX has elevated its game to become your all-around partner. The 2024 Isuzu D-MAX sports a new, more luxurious interior while exuding a sporty and muscular appeal outside.

You can now experience an elevated sense of comfort with the leather-clad interior mated to functional technologies such as the massive 10.1-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The 2024 Isuzu D-MAX has changed the game for interior comfort and functionality. It has shown how the pickup truck can be more than a working man’s car and have the sensibility of a road partner. A car that not only gets you from point A to B but brings you there in style and comfort.
Get amazed and astonished looks when you drive by with the 2024 Isuzu D-MAX’s new sportier look. The new front grille design, fender, and 18-inch alloy wheels with matte finish make the Isuzu D-MAX a looker and place it as a rally legend on the streets roaming the streets of the metro.
The 2024 Isuzu D-MAX has come far from its 2003 debut. Starting from a no-nonsense truck to now a sporty and confident vehicle that looks good no matter where you’re standing.
