Isuzu to reveal 2.2-litre diesel D-Max at CV Show

Isuzu has announced that it will reveal a 2.2-litre diesel engine-powered D-Max at the Commercial Vehicle (CV) Show.

The 2.2-litre unit is an evolution of the D-Max’s existing 1.9-litre turbodiesel, with the additional displacement boosting torque by 40nm, to 400nm.

In addition to the updated engine, Isuzu will offer the option of an eight-speed automatic gearbox, replacing the previous six-speed unit found on 1.9-litre models.

Isuzu said the 2.2-litre engine and eight-speed automatic will enhance the D-Max’s capabilities on and off road.

Other changes made to the D-Max include low-rolling-resistance Dunlop tyres for better fuel efficiency, new lights, a new grille and changes to the specification.

DL40 and V-Cross models gain a 360-degree camera and revised alloy wheels.

The DL40 Extended Cab model is new to the range, providing additional load capacity with a higher level of specification.

Pre-orders are open now, with prices starting at £33,495.
