First launched in 2011, the current generation Isuzu D-Max is the oldest pick-up truck in the segment. To keep it current, Isuzu Malaysia has given the D-Max yet another mid-life update. For 2019, the new Isuzu D-Max now comes with a smaller capacity (but more powerful) 1.9L BluePower Ddi 150 PS engine. From the outside, the car looks exactly the same as before apart from BluePower Ddi decals but the interior gets a new dashboard, which now comes with soft touch padding. More importantly, the ne
