Isuzu D-Max EV production begins in Thailand; will PH get it soon?
LHD production of Isuzu D-Max EV begins, Europe to get first dibs in Q3 2025
After the D-Max EV's global debut during last year's Bangkok International Motor Show, Isuzu is proud to announce that the all-electric pickup truck has entered mass production.
That's right, the Isuzu D-Max EV is now being built at the brand's facility in Thailand, and the company has first started production of the left-hand drive (LHD) model bound for European markets. Isuzu added that the first units of the D-Max EV for Europe will be heading to the Old Continent in Q3 of 2025.
As for the right-hand drive (RHD) model of the D-Max EV, Isuzu said they will begin mass production by the end of the year, while sales will begin in 2026 in the UK. Afterward, the RHD D-Max EV will be rolled out to other countries and areas based on market needs.
Isuzu has released other details and specifications of the all-new D-Max EV. For starters, the electric pickup will measure 5280mm long, 1870mm wide, and 1810mm tall, and sits on a 3125mm wheelbase. It also has a curb weight of 2350 kg, a maximum payload rating of 1,010 kg, and a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 kg.
As mentioned before, the D-Max is equipped with a full-time 4x4 system, which consists of a pair of electric motors placed on each axle. The result is an AWD electric pickup that puts out 140 kW or 190 PS and a generous 325 Nm of torque. While it may not have the 450 Nm of pull as the turbo-diesel version, do remember that EVs generate peak torque at 0 revs, which translates to instantaneous power delivery.
Power is supplied by a 66.9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that gives the D-Max EV up to 263 km based on the WLTP cycle. The range goes up to 361 km, however, when rated for WLTP City Mode. Recharging the battery from 0 – 100% via an 11kW AC charger can be done in 11 hours. Meanwhile, a 50kW fast DC charger can replenish the D-Max EV's battery from 20% to 80% in just an hour.
Unfortunately, there's no word yet if Isuzu Philippines Corporation plans to bring the D-Max EV into the country. However, they could make the electric D-Max as an indent order special to allow interested customers to get one for themselves. We're keeping our fingers crossed that the D-Max EV eventually makes its way here sometime next year.
