The Isuzu D-Max facelift 2024 is equipped with a “rough terrain mode” for off-road driving, which is said to enhance braking and torque distribution to provide the highest level of traction when climbing mountains. It can also automatically lock the rear differential.

In terms of safety equipment, there doesn’t seem to be many changes compared to the predecessor model, but Isuzu claims that the front camera has a “wider and more accurate” field of view.
