Once the undisputed “King” of the pickup truck arena, it now makes a powerful return. The all-new Jiangxi Isuzu D-MAX 3.0T is now in hot pre-sale, with an official pre-sale price range of ¥174,800 to ¥214,800. The new vehicle has quickly ignited market enthusiasm, attracting a large number of seasoned pickup enthusiasts eager to secure their orders early, driving a continuous increase in nationwide reservations.

Placing an order now grants you triple limited-time exclusive benefits: 3 years/6 basic maintenance services (including the first service), lifetime warranty for the engine and transmission, and a priority vehicle delivery privilege. The pre-sale channel will close on March 20, meaning the opportunity to become one of the "first global owners" is entering a countdown.

First Media Test Drives Published: No Match in Its Class for High-End Diesel Pickups

Following the start of its pre-sale, the all-new D-MAX 3.0T has undergone initial media test drives, with multiple veteran automotive reviewers giving high praise to its overall performance. Some media outlets have directly stated that the D-MAX 3.0T already stands at the top of its class in terms of hardware configuration—featuring a 3.0T 4JJ3 engine, a BorgWarner intelligent four-wheel-drive system, a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, and a reinforced chassis, forming a combination described as a "winning hand." Looking across the market, it's hard to find a comparable high-end diesel pickup truck in the same segment.

A well-known automotive reviewer, after driving the all-new D-MAX 3.0T over 4,000 kilometers through the Sichuan-Tibet region and conducting high-altitude extreme tests, praised the vehicle extensively: "Even at an altitude of 5,500 meters, the power is still on-demand, with rapid acceleration and no noticeable decline." Its intelligent electronic four-wheel-drive and part-time four-wheel-drive systems, paired with hardcore features like three differential locks, crawl mode, and tank turn, allow the 4WD system to perform with ease. The reinforced chassis demonstrates exceptional durability and impact resistance under extreme road conditions, making the vehicle's comprehensive capabilities hard to match in the next two to three years.

The King Returns, with "Superior Strength" Fully Evolved

The all-new D-MAX 3.0T has undergone comprehensive evolution across four key dimensions—"Super Power, Super Chassis, Super Handling, Super Quality"—reshaping the benchmark for high-end pickups with its formidable strength.

Equipped with the new-generation 4JJ3 3.0T diesel engine, it delivers a maximum power output of 155 kW and a peak torque of 560 N·m, boasting the highest power and torque figures in the pickup truck industry. Paired with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, it ensures smooth gear changes and rapid response. The engine generates 380 N·m of torque at just 1,000 rpm, and its 0-100 km/h acceleration at high altitudes is 28.5% faster than comparable models.

The chassis features leading-edge design and premium materials. Key components of the front suspension are sourced from top-tier global suppliers, with core structures such as the lower control arms and longitudinal beams being more robust, providing enhanced torsional rigidity and load-bearing capacity. All vehicle pipelines are cleverly concealed inside the longitudinal beams, and the engine underguard offers comprehensive protection. The corrosion resistance standards far exceed industry requirements, ensuring a solid, durable build that grows more dependable over time.

It comes with the BorgWarner MLOCK mechanical locking intelligent four-wheel-drive system, paired with 8 all-terrain driving modes, tank turn, and crawl functions, enabling it to handle complex road conditions with ease. Notably, the front axle, rear axle electronically controlled mechanical differential locks, and the inter-axial mechanical locking system form a set of "three mechanical hard locks," with wheel-end torque reaching up to 22,600 N·m. Its escape capability is arguably the best in its class.

In terms of quality, the all-new D-MAX 3.0T features comprehensive upgrades in cabin materials, noise insulation technology, and comfort configurations. It is also equipped with an intelligent driving assistance system, balancing the needs of all-scenario travel with a premium driving and riding experience.

Currently, test drive vehicles of the all-new D-MAX 3.0T are gradually arriving at dealerships nationwide. We welcome all automotive enthusiasts to visit dealerships for a test drive and experience firsthand the formidable strength of the "King." It is reported that the new vehicle will officially launch on March 20, with more performance highlights to be unveiled simultaneously. Stay tuned for further updates.
