There's a lot of variants on offer but to keep things simple, urbanites who want to get into the urban truck lifestyle but don't need a 4x4 can opt for the 1.9 4x2 AT Hi-Ride variant, which starts at just RM 100,049. 

2019 Isuzu D-Max USP

The 4x2 variant offers all the cargo hauling utility of a pick-up truck but consumes less fuel than 4x4 variants. For those that want a pick-up that matches the features of a passenger car, there's the 4x4 AT-P variant, at RM 115,799.

Business owners however, might prefer the 1.9 4x2 MT Low Ride.

2019 Isuzu D-Max Easy Closing Tailgate

All variants except for the Double-Cab 4x2 MT Low-Ride and 4x2 AT Hi-Ride are locally-assembled at the DRB-Hicom plant in Pekan, Pahang.

The two aforementioned variants are imported from Thailand. The remaining  locally-assembled variants qualify for Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) incentives – the first pick-up truck in the country to do so, thus the reduced prices.

In addition to EEV incentives, the 1.9-litre variants of the Isuzu D-Max 2019 benefits from lower road tax, as owners need to pay just RM 329 annually, as opposed to the RM 839 for the older 2.5L variant.
