The new Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain aims to empower today’s women drivers.
STARPICKS
In recent years, the sight of women behind the wheel of a pickup truck has become increasingly common, challenging stereotypes and redefining automotive culture.Once known to be heavy vehicles that were used mainly for business purposes, pickup trucks have evolved over the years to meet the needs and lifestyle of women who play multifaceted roles in today’s society.
Their versatility, ample cargo space to haul large items, easy-to-clean surfaces, and safety enhancements make them ideal for women as daily transport, easy enough to drive and manoeuvre.
Isuzu’s new D-Max X-Terrain offers all that, and more. Its advanced safety features, luxurious comfort and robust performance are aimed at ensuring that women have a comfortable and seamless journey as she navigates her daily routines.
Her partner-in-crime
The spacious cabins and comfortable interiors make it suitable for family use. They can serve as an all-purpose vehicle for daily commutes, weekend grocery visits, school runs, and family trips.
Apart from comfort, the advanced safety features will help ensure peace of mind during the rides, especially when there are children in the car.
An important aspect of the D-Max X-Terrain is the Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) including lane departure warning, enhanced automatic emergency braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking that not only provide proactive alerts but also anticipate potential risks, thereby enabling confident navigation through city traffic and highways.
The new D-Max X-Terrain also comes with ergonomic combi leather seats, designed not only for comfort and support during long drives but also for practical ease of maintenance.
These seats allow mothers to effortlessly clean inevitable food spills from juice boxes, biscuit crumbs and sticky residue from children’s snacks.

The Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain provides superior traction and control on uneven surfaces.
For those who enjoy outdoor activities like camping, hiking or biking, a pickup truck can accommodate not just a group of friends but also their gear - tents, sleeping bags, bicycles, and essential cooking equipment.
Not only that, pickup trucks are known to handle off-road conditions as they are built to navigate and manoeuvre rough terrains like rocky trails and muddy paths as well as endure weather conditions.
The New Rough Terrain Mode from D-Max X-Terrain provides superior traction and control on uneven surfaces with advanced navigation and infotainment system, as well as connectivity to stay on course and be in touch with the world.
It also comes with seven SRS Airbags, and was rated 5-Star in the New Car Assessment Programme for South-East Asian Countries (Asean NCAP).
Her 'Jack-of-all-trades'
Women in certain professions such as construction, farming or other trades can rely on pickup trucks for their job.
The demanding nature of these fields requires a vehicle that can handle heavy-duty tasks and efficiently transport a variety of tools, materials, and equipment such as building materials, power tools, fencing supplies, produce, and more.
The ability to transport all these directly from one location to another without multiple trips saves time and effort.
On top of that, the sleek exterior design and premium interiors of the D-Max X-Terrain, enhanced with MIURA design elements, reflect sophisticated taste while accommodating a busy lifestyle.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the pickup truck offers a 360° camera system that is particularly valuable, providing a comprehensive view of the surroundings to help navigate tight city roads and parking spaces with ease.
