Joining the ranks of carbon-reducing pick-up trucks is this new 2024 Isuzu D-Max Hi-Lander Mild Hybrid (MHEV) concept, that's just been unveiled in Thailand ahead of next week's Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS). It's not a reality just yet, but the idea is sound and to be honest, it doesn't look that far off from production. Under the hood is the 1.9-litre Ddi Blue Power turbodiesel, paired to a small electric motor on the front of the engine and a 48V battery. Powertrain figures nor spec

So, is the all-new D-Max good enough to have people ditching the Hailak moniker and turn the segment on its head? Can it really out-truck the usual suspects like the Toyota Hilux Ro

Almost 300 new orders of Isuzu D-Max trucks received before the start of the Movement Control Order have been stuck in limbo since March. Now that the government has partially lifted the order, Isuzu Malaysia is working hard to make sure these new owners will be able to finally collect their new pick-up trucks.

Isuzu’s new pup proved its worth in the gruelling Borneo Safari challenge and even gets given the organiser’s Special Award as a recognition of its remarkable off-road capabilities.
