Isuzu D-Max EV offers 361 km range, 190 hp/325 Nm and 4WD system

Isuzu Motors Limited has recently announced that production of the electric pickup model, the D-Max EV, has officially begun at its factory in Thailand.

The zero-emission pickup was first showcased at the Bangkok Motor Show 2024.

According to specifications, the D-Max EV is equipped with two electric motors and an all-wheel-drive system, with the front motor producing 58 hp and 108 Nm, while the rear motor produces 132 hp and 217 Nm.

The total power output reaches 190 hp and 325 Nm, allowing for acceleration from 0 to 97 km/h in just 10.1 seconds, with a maximum speed of 130 km/h.

The D-Max EV’s capabilities are on par with the diesel version of the D-Max, boasting a payload capacity of 1,010 kg and a towing capacity of 3,500 kg.

The 66.9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack enables the vehicle to travel up to 361 km for city driving (WLTP data).

The D-Max EV also supports 11 kW AC charging (0-100 percent in 10 hours) and 50 kW DC fast charging, where the battery can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in one hour.

In terms of dimensions, the D-Max EV measures 5,280 mm in length, 1,870 mm in width, and 1,810 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,125 mm. The vehicle weighs approximately 2,350 kg.

Additionally, the D-Max EV features a ground clearance of 210 mm, the capability to wade through 600 mm of water, and approach and departure angles of 30.5 degrees and 24.2 degrees, respectively.

Unlike the standard D-Max, which uses leaf spring suspension in the rear, the handling of the D-Max EV is enhanced by the use of De-Dion suspension.

According to Isuzu, the left-hand drive (LHD) version of the D-Max EV will be distributed to major European markets in the third quarter (Q3) of this year.

The right-hand drive (RHD) version is set to begin production at the end of this year and is expected to be sold in the UK market in 2026, before being expanded to other markets.
