All-new 2020 Isuzu D-Max unveiled

Isuzu has introduced a completely revised D-Max pick-up. Like its predecessor, the 2020 model will be built in Thailand and customers can choose standard, space or crew cabs.

As part of an ‘Efficient and Robust’ engineering approach, high-tensile steel is used for many of the body panels. Consequently, rigidity is up by 20%, the roof is stronger than before and anti-corrosion protection is enhanced. Ride, handling and braking performance are also claimed to be better, plus manoeuvrability has improved thanks to a revised steering set-up.

The styling incorporates a bold two-tier grille flanked by bi-LED headlamps. A prominent swage line runs along the sides, while the rear features LED light clusters, a sculptured tailgate and an access step which is integrated into the bumper.

Inside, the dashboard is dominated by a central 7” or 9” touchscreen for an infotainment system that’s Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible. Other available technologies include keyless entry and start, automatic lights and wipers, voice recognition, dual-zone air conditioning, rear cross traffic alert and blind spot monitoring.

148 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS) 1.9 litre and 187 bhp (140 kW / 190 PS) 3.0 litre turbocharged diesel engines are being offered, but their allocations by market haven’t been confirmed yet. The D-Max can be specified with either rear-wheel drive or a part-time 4x4 transmission.

Deliveries in Thailand begin later this month. However, trim grades, prices and an on-sale date for the UK are still to be announced.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
