2024 Isuzu D-Max facelift leaked, imminent reveal for updated ute

The facelifted 2024 Isuzu D-Max ute has leaked online, ahead of an expected reveal this week.

Thai publication HeadlightMag [↗] reports the updated D-Max will debut later today, October 6.

An Isuzu Ute Australia spokesperson was unable to confirm this rumour.

“At this point in time, we are unable to comment on future model plans including those of the rumoured facelifted D-Max in Thailand,” the spokesperson said.

“However, Isuzu Ute Australia will continue to monitor the market to ensure that any local product updates meet the Australian market’s requirements, before committing to any changes locally.”

Images posted to Instagram by Kurdistan Automotive Blog [↗] reveal the facelifted D-Max will feature a revised front design and updated tail-lights, four years after the current model debuted in Thailand in October 2019.

It arrived in Australia in 2020. A minor update launched in 2022 with new-look alloy wheels, a redesigned grille, fresh paint finishes, and updated specifications.

However, the latest revision will include new headlights, another redesign for the grille, and a revised front bumper.

The model in the leak appears similar to our flagship X-Terrain, with darkened accents and what appears to be chunkier flared wheel arches.

It is unclear what changes are planned for the D-Max’s cabin. However, an updated, larger infotainment system is likely to better match the Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok, potentially in line with the Chinese-spec D-Max, which features a digital instrument cluster and a unique dashboard with a widescreen infotainment system.

In China, the current D-Max also sports rear disc brakes, coil spring suspension from the MU-X, and an integrated wireless phone charger.

Similar updates for the related Mazda BT-50 ute and the Isuzu MU-X off-road SUV are likely to appear later.

The 2024 Isuzu D-Max is expected to debut in Thailand this week. It is currently unclear when the update will arrive in Australia, with more details likely to be confirmed once official information is released.
