Isuzu Motors India Private Limited has expanded its range of D-MAX commercial pick-up vehicles in India by introducing a new Cab-Chassis variant, designed specifically for businesses engaged in long-haul operations. This latest addition caters to a variety of industries, including perishables, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), food and catering services, as well as last-mile deliveries.
The introduction of the new Isuzu D-MAX 1.7 Single Cab-Chassis Standard version provides customers with enhanced flexibility to modify the vehicle’s load-body to suit their specific business requirements. Under the hood, the new D-MAX 1.7 Single Cab-Chassis is powered by the reliable 2.5-litre ISUZU 4JA1 engine, ensuring that the vehicle delivers robust performance and high durability over extended distances.
The D-MAX series of commercial pick-ups feature an aggressive, dynamic look, thanks to its sleek aerodynamic exterior design. The vehicle’s modern passenger-vehicle-like interior layout complements its rugged exterior, offering drivers a comfortable yet functional workspace during long journeys.
Inside the D-MAX, high-quality fabric upholstery, height-adjustable seat belts, and a well-organized Multi-Information Display (MID) with Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) provide an elevated experience for drivers. These features work together to optimize torque and fuel consumption while ensuring the vehicle’s drivetrain remains durable, even in the most demanding driving conditions.
The Gear Shift Indicator helps drivers maintain the most efficient gear selection, further contributing to fuel savings and smoother driving performance. At the heart of the D-MAX is Isuzu’s heavy-duty iGRIP chassis, which enhances the vehicle’s overall dynamics and stability. Known for its dependability and robust construction, the iGRIP chassis ensures superior handling, even when transporting heavy loads.
Additionally, the chassis is built using high-tensile steel, which adds strength and resilience, offering enhanced safety in case of an impact. This extra layer of safety makes the D-MAX a reliable choice for industries where consistent performance and worker safety are paramount.
To improve the vehicle’s stability and comfort, the D-MAX employs independent coil spring suspension in the front and rigid leaf spring suspension at the rear. These suspension systems ensure that the vehicle maintains smooth handling, whether on smooth highways or rougher rural roads.
On top of that, the D-MAX offers top-tier occupant protection features, including strategically designed crumple zones, a cross-car front beam, door-side intrusion bars, a collapsible steering column, and protective steel underbody shielding for the powertrain. Toru Kishimoto, the Deputy Managing Director of Isuzu Motors India, emphasized that the introduction of the new D-MAX 1.7 Cab-Chassis variant expands the company’s product offerings to meet the unique operational needs of diverse Indian businesses.
By providing this versatile and customizable option, Isuzu Motors aims to empower its customers to maximize efficiency and go the extra mile in their journey towards business growth. Available at an attractive starting price of Rs. 9,99,990 ex-showroom in Chennai, the D-MAX 1.7 Single Cab-Chassis Standard version is poised to be a key player in India’s commercial vehicle market, offering businesses a reliable solution that combines safety, performance, and versatility.
