The all-new 2021 Isuzu D-Max is bringing a couple of novelties. This pickup truck will continue to build on the recent redesign. The next model won’t introduce such drastic changes. However, the newest spy shots are showing us typical mid-cycle refreshments. Knowing that D-Max will get a couple of visual updates. Moreover, the interior is also ready for further improvements.
We can expect more tech and a longer list of standard equipment. As for the performances, Isuzu continues to offer the same four-cylinder powertrain. D-Max remains a reliable option in the mid-size pickup truck segment. It comes with a pleasant ride, the right level of comfort and versatility.
2021 D-Max Spy Shots
The latest spy photos of the 2021 Isuzu D-Max are exciting. The last year’s model arrived with a redesign. No one did expect further exterior refreshments. However, Isuzu has no plans to stop getting better. New D-Max will continue to look upscale and very unique. Third-gen D-Max is entering its second year, and it will look even better.
For a start, Isuzu will reduce the weight of its most popular model. On top of that, new tow hitches are in the offer. The front part comes with a larger grille and rear end sports more angular approach. The mid-size pickup will obtain new tires and additional chrome accents. However, the single exhaust is a clear indication that the powertrain will remain.
Interior Updates
As for the interior, the upcoming 2021 Isuzu D-Max will look very modern. The cabin is so well-equipped, and it provides the latest high-tech amenities. Furthermore, the interior looks closer to an SUV than to the actual pickup truck. Isuzu managed to create a pleasant interior that looks both stylish and fresh. New D-Max will remain as practical as before. Design is modern too. However, luxury starts with upper trim levels.
The base model comes with standard cloth upholstery and basic technology stuff. For 2021, D-Max will get more standard equipment. Interestingly, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are still not available. You can choose between two or four-door variants and two different bed sizes. Finally, D-Max could get additional driver-assistance features.
New Gasoline Engine?
Under the bonnet, the same 3.0-liter diesel engine is still present. The upcoming 2021 Isuzu D-Max will produce 180 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, a 2.4-liter gasoline engine is available in the United States. Gasoline output is rated at 125 hp and 155 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are using the same 6-speed automatic transmission.
Now, for 2021, some reports are suggesting new and more potent gasoline powertrain. The more powerful unit will be optional, and it will generate over 200 horses. It makes perfect sense as the current powerplant can’t satisfy the customers’ needs.
2021 Isuzu D-Max Price and Release Date
The current model is priced at $34,000. The approaching 2021 Isuzu D-Max will keep the actual price. On top of that, all of the trim levels will cost as they cost now. The range-topping trim level costs over $50,000, and it provides real luxury. The mid-size pickup truck will most likely go on sale later in 2020. The same model will reach American soil at the beginning of 2021.
