⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Options:

While specific engine variants are not detailed in the product description, this generation of Isuzu D-Max typically featured robust Isuzu diesel engines. Common options included naturally aspirated and turbocharged direct-injection diesel engines, such as the 4JH1-TC (2.5L) and the 4JJ1-TC (3.0L) engines. The manual would cover the specific engine(s) fitted to the P190 model.

Typical Performance Range:

Depending on the specific engine and configuration, power outputs typically ranged from approximately 75 kW (100 hp) to 130 kW (175 hp) with torque figures in the range of 200 Nm to 360 Nm. Exact specifications are detailed within the manual.

Fuel Type:

Diesel

Injection Type:

Direct Injection, likely Common Rail Diesel (CRDi) for turbocharged variants.

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type:

Manual transmission typically standard on base models, often a 5-speed unit.

Transmission Type:

Optional 4-speed or 5-speed automatic transmission available on higher trim levels.

Drivetrain Configurations:

Available in both 2WD (RWD) and 4WD (4x4) configurations. The manual would cover servicing for both.

📐 Dimensions

Body Styles:

Offered in various body styles including single cab, space/extra cab, and crew cab, with different tray lengths. Specific dimensions would vary by configuration and are detailed in the manual.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:

GVWR varied by configuration, typically ranging from approximately 2,500 kg to 3,000 kg. Exact figures are model-specific and found in the manual.

🛡️ Safety Features

Safety Standards:

While specific crash test ratings from agencies like ANCAP or Euro NCAP for these specific model years would need to be researched externally, the manual would detail the safety systems fitted, such as ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and SRS airbags, which are critical for occupant safety.

Active Safety Features:

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), potentially Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD).

Passive Safety Features:

Seatbelts with pretensioners, driver and passenger airbags (SRS - Supplemental Restraint System).
