In September, AutoIndustriya.com reported that Isuzu has plans to introduce a fully electric pickup truck, which is essentially the electric version of the D-Max. The vehicle is expected to be manufactured in Thailand.

However, Nikkei Asia reported that there is no official information from Isuzu regarding the new fully electric pickup truck. Surprisingly, at the launch event of the D-Max facelift 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand, Isuzu Chairman and COO Shinsuke Minami confirmed the company’s plans to produce a fully electric pickup truck.

“Isuzu is actively working towards carbon neutrality. In the future, Isuzu plans to manufacture fully electric pickup trucks in Thailand. Initially, they will introduce this pickup truck to the European market and later expand to other markets, including Thailand,” stated Mr. Minami.

Details about the upcoming Isuzu electric pickup truck are still unknown. However, there are rumors that it will be a fully electric version of the D-Max.

Meanwhile, the newly launched Isuzu D-Max facelift 2024 comes with significant upgrades in terms of design and technology. In terms of exterior design, the Isuzu D-Max facelift 2024 features a redesigned front fascia with refined headlights, a new gray or black chrome grille, and an integrated air scoop on the lower bumper to enhance aerodynamics. Other exterior changes include updated LED taillights, new wheel designs, and more pronounced wheel arches.

In the cabin, the Isuzu D-Max facelift is equipped with steering-mounted paddle shifters, ventilated front seats, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster (upgraded from 4.2 inches), and USB-C ports at the front and rear, replacing the previous USB-A ports.

The Isuzu D-Max facelift 2024 features a “rough terrain mode” that assists in sudden braking and torque distribution to the wheels for maximum traction when climbing hills. It also has an automatic rear differential lock.

In the Thai market, the price range for the Isuzu D-Max 2024 is between 540,000 and 1,264,000 baht (approximately 356-834 million VND).
