Moreover, the company has also teased a new 'super strong' variant of the D-Max in an official video.
Under the hood, the pickup will get a new BS 6-compliant engine. Previously, it sourced power from a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbo-diesel unit which delivered 134 bhp and 320 Nm of peak torque. This engine was seen with a 5-speed gearbox which was offered as standard.
Whether or not this powertrain will be seen on the updated model isn't confirmed yet. It is also said that the SUV will get a BS 6-compliant 1.9-litre diesel engine which was globally introduced earlier this year. Moreover, a 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel is also on the rumour list for select markets.
