Isuzu D-Max Limited to only have 200 units in PH

MANILA:  The D-Max Limited variant will only have 200 examples in the country, an executive from Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) told Zigwheels Philippines.

It was IPC Assistant Division Head for Sales Robert Carlos shared the number during the vehicle's official introduction in the market.

“This is only limited to 200 units, so it’s up for grabs,” Carlos told 

The Isuzu D-Max Limited comes in as a trim of the iconic pickup truck that is set to compete with other “accessorized” nameplates in the segment.

That said, it comes with various appointments like a new grille, sporty and sleek decals, a more aggressive set of wheels, variant-specific floormats, as well as a fine-tuned suspension system.

When asked why IPC released a special grade of the Isuzu D-Max, and in small numbers at that, Carlos explained that it was prompted by a market survey conducted by the brand.

We always have this market survey, customer survey for their [customers> needs and wants. Then surprisingly our Filipino customers who drive a pickup, they are now really smart in choosing their vehicle. They are not only looking for aesthetics but also performance. So, that’s why we came up with this Isuzu D-Max Limited,” he said.

“We combined the form and function,” added Carlos.

“When I say form as you can see the exterior the body graphics, the blacked-out grille, and the side step board, these are actually the aesthetics that give the D-Max Limited a more macho and more tough look. But on top of that, this should be a performance-fit vehicle. So that’s why the Boondock specs that they had before — the nitrogen-charged shock absorbers, plus the all-terrain tires, and the rear shackles — we also equipped to this Limited model so it can go too any muddy, river crossing, any terrain,” he pointed out.

Customers looking to drive home what could be a soon-to-be coveted piece of Philippine automotive history can expect to be set back P1.58 million.
