Isuzu D-Max to get twin-turbo diesel by 2016 - CarAdvice

The mid-life-update of the Isuzu D-Max , due in 2016, will see the Thai-built ute replace the current Euro4-rated 3. 0-litre single-turbo diesel engine, with a 2. 5-litre twin-turbo unit to meet Euro5 emissions regulations in Australia. The new Isuzu engine is already used in the Isuzu D-Max in parts of Europe including the UK, where Euro5 standards have been in place for several years. While the smaller displacement twin-turbo unit gives up 10kW of power to the existing 3. 0-litre powerplant, maximum torque is up by 70Nm to 400Nm between 1400-2000rpm. It’s also one of the cleanest powertrains in the light commercial segment, achieving a claimed fuel-economy of 6. 2L/100km (4×4 manual models) and CO2 emissions of 194g/km. By comparison, the existing Isuzu 3. 0-litre engine produces 220g/km of CO2. I think that you’ll find that the 3 litre is better due to its wider spread of torque, so while its legal its the preferred choice by Isuzu. i have the chevrolet d max II 2. 5 twin turbo 2015 ute.
