Isuzu has introduced a new 2.2-liter Biturbo engine delivering 204 horsepower for its popular D-MAX and MU-X vehicles in Thailand.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, Isuzu has officially launched a new 2.2-liter Biturbo engine, designed to enhance the performance of its D-MAX pickup trucks and MU-X SUVs. This new powertrain produces 204 horsepower and 500 Newton-meters of torque, marking a significant update to the brand's engine lineup in the Thai market.
Hiroyasu Sato, representing Isuzu, stated that the company remains committed to advancing its automotive technology and workforce development. A key highlight of this initiative is the high level of localization, with over 90% of the components used in these vehicles sourced domestically, which supports the broader Thai automotive industry.
For residents and potential buyers, this development signifies a shift toward more powerful and locally manufactured engine options within the Isuzu ecosystem. The emphasis on domestic parts may also suggest a more stable supply chain for maintenance and repairs in the future.
