Changes include a redesigned front end with a 3D grille, new headlights, and tweaked bumper intakes. The pickup features a new tailgate with an integrated spoiler and revised taillight graphics. The pictured D-Max V-Cross 4×4 flagship trim is the most rugged-looking of the bunch thanks to the extra plastic cladding around the grille, the aluminum-style skid plate, the wide fender extensions, the matte black 18-inch alloy wheels, and other add-ons.
Inside, there's a familiar dashboard with new trim options and upgraded technology, including a 9-inch touchscreen and a 7-inch digital instrument cluster. Isuzu added USB-C ports for the front and rear passengers, and a new key with remote engine start function.

The powertrain lineup appears to be unchanged from the pre-facelifted model, including two four-cylinder turbodiesel options. The base 1.9-liter mill produces 150 hp (110 kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque, while the more potent 3.0-liter unit is good for 190 hp (140 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft). Depending on the version, power is transmitted to either the rear (2WD) or to all four wheels (4WD) via a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic.

Improvements in 4x4 driving performance are achieved through tweaked electronics and a new "rough terrain mode." More specifically, the traction control has been expanded to when the electronic rear differential lock is activated, while there is a new “rough terrain mode” assisting drivers by controlling the braking and engine RMP in more demanding off-road scenarios.
Safety equipment has been enhanced, including the addition of an ADAS camera with a heating function and expanded adaptive cruise control.
Sales of the 2024 D-Max are scheduled to start on October 12 in Thailand, with other global markets set to follow gradually. Prices start from 540,000 Thai Baht ($14,551) for the cheapest regular cab 2-door and 2WD version, reaching up to 1,257,000 ($33,876) for the flagship 4-door V-Cross 4×4 trim.
