AshleyNov 15, 2024, 05:01 PM

It is reported that the Isuzu D-Max and Isuzu MU-X will be equipped with a new 2.2-liter turbocharged diesel engine. Tripetch Isuzu recently released an official teaser for this new powertrain, indicating that the engine will be officially launched in Thailand soon. Consumers interested in the new engine can already register for test drives.

This new engine is built on the RZ engine platform with an increased displacement of 2.2 liters and features an upgraded turbocharging system. While Isuzu has not disclosed the specific power figures for this engine, the company has stated that it offers “stronger performance” and “faster acceleration,” naming it the “MAXFORCE” engine.

Both the Isuzu D-Max and Isuzu MU-X will be powered by this MAXFORCE 2.2-liter turbocharged diesel engine. However, it is still unclear whether this engine will replace the existing 1.9-liter turbocharged diesel engine or if it will be offered alongside the 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine. This new 2.2-liter turbocharged diesel engine will incorporate Isuzu’s latest diesel engine technology, and it is expected to offer better power than the 4JJ3 engine while maintaining lower fuel consumption compared to the RZ4E.

Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?

Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.

Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?

The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?

Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?

Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
