Speaking about the rating scored by Isuzu D-Max in the Euro NCAP test, the pickup truck achieved top scores in each of the four categories: adult occupancy, child occupancy, vulnerable road users and safety assist. The D-Max scored 84% in the adult occupancy, 86% in child occupant safety, 37.6 points or 69% in the vulnerable road users segment and lastly, in the safety assist segment, the D-Max was awarded 13.4 points or 83%. As per Euro NCAP, the vehicle’s bumper provided adequate protection to the occupants’ legs and pelvis of the pedestrian. The Safety Assist segment, on the other hand, includes passive and active safety features. Competing in a segment that is not celebrated for passengers’ safety, the D-Max features an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) that is standard across all its variants, which is not part of the SUV sold in the Indian version, and might not make its way in the updated version as well.The European version of the Isuzu D-Max is powered by a 1.9-litre four-cylinder inter-cooled turbo diesel unit. It produces 148 bhp at 3600 rpm and a peak torque of 350 Nm at 1800 rpm. The D-max comes with a six-speed automatic gearbox that distributes power to all wheels through a low-range transfer case.
