The 2026 Isuzu D-Max line-up in Malaysia has been launched today, with the RZ4F-TC 2.2 litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine replacing the RZ4E-TC 1.9 litre unit. This powers the majority of variants in the 2026 D-Max line-up, alongside the 4JJ3-TCX 3.0L four-cylinder turbodiesel that continues in the range for the single cab and double cab X-Terrain variants. The 2026 Isuzu D-Max line-up in Malaysia, at a glance (prices are on-the-road without insurance for individual private registration in Peninsular Malaysia): X-Terrain: 3.0L 4×4 AT X-Terrain – RM162,938.40 Premium: 2.2L 4×4 AT Premium – RM141,821.20 3.0L 4×4 AT Premium – RM145,138,40 Standard: 2.2L 4×4 AT Standard – RM122,171.20 2.2L 4×4 MT Standard – RM114,171.20 Plus: 2.2L 4×2 Auto Plus – RM114,671.20 Single Cab: 2.2L 4×4 AT Single Cab – RM109,121.20 2.2L 4×4 MT Single Cab – RM103,121.20 3.0L 4×4 MT Single Cab – RM108,888.40 Isuzu 2.2 Ddi MaxForce engine, BIMS 2025 Displacing 2,164 cc, the RZ4F-TC 2.2 litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine is rated to produce 63 PS at 3,600 rpm and 400 Nm of torque from 1,600 rpm to 2,400 rpm, or 13 PS and 50 Nm more than the outputs of the 1.9 litre unit it replaces. This engine brings a new block, cylinder head, crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods, as well as a new turbocharger and high-pressure, 250 MPa fuel injection system. Isuzu claims a 10.7% improvement in extra-urban fuel consumption, and a 56% improvement in off-the-line response courtesy of 255 Nm available from 1,000 rpm, or more than half the peak torque on offer. Equipped with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate diffuser (DPD) and intelligent exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), Isuzu claims a reduction of emissions by 21%, and particulate emissions by up to 99%, and the engine is capable of running on biodiesel blends of up to B20. Partnering the new 2.2 litre turbodiesel engine is a new eight-speed automatic transmission co-developed with Aisin, for improved acceleration and fuel efficiency. This is by quicker shift mapping, while the first six ratios are selected for response, and seventh and eighth are overdrive ratios for fuel efficiency. The transmission also offers increased durability and the ability to handle more torque, says Isuzu. Along with the powertrain update for the D-Max is what’s claimed to be the first automatic transmission-equipped single-cab pick-up truck model, priced as above at RM109,121.20 OTR without insurance. This single-cab variant offers a cargo bed measuring 2,345 mm x 1,590 mm x 465 mm, with a payload capacity of 935 kg. Updated for the 2026 D-Max Single-Cab is the addition of a Rough Terrain mode, new centre console with armrest, body coloured bumper, and a new exterior paint colour, Mercury Silver metallic. Visual updates for the 2026 D-Max range are modest, but nonetheless include a new design for the grille, headlamps, and foglamps (except on the Single Cab MT), while the rear gets a new tail lamp cluster, and the tailgate assist is now standard across the board, now added to the Standard automatic and manual transmission variants. Wheels are 18-inch alloys on 265/60R18 tyres for the X-Terrain (matte dark grey wheel finish) and Premium (two-tone machined finish), 17-inch alloys on 265/65R17 tyres for the Standard and Auto Plus variants, and 16-inch wheels on 205R16C tyres for the Single Cab variants. Revisions to the interior of the 2026 D-Max for Malaysia include a 10-inch infotainment unit for the X-Terrain, Premium and Auto Plus variants, while the Standard AT and MT get a seven-inch infotainment unit. A new door insert design is found on the X-Terrain and Premium variants, while a new seat upholstery pattern is leather on the X-Terrain and Premium, and fabric on the Auto Plus and Standard AT/MT variants. Most variants of the 2026 Isuzu D-Max in Malaysia are sold with a 150,000 km, five-year warranty, save for the X-Terrain flagship that gets a seven-year, unlimited mileage warranty. All variants of the 2026 D-Max in Malaysia come with a 20,000 km, two-year free periodic maintenance service package. 2026 Isuzu D-Max in Malaysia; presentation slides Compare prices between different insurer providers to save the most on your car insurance renewal compared to other competing services.
