UK debut at CV Show for all-new Isuzu D-Max pick-up

The all-new Isuzu D-Max pick-up will make its national debut at the CV Show. On sale from June 2012, the tough new Isuzu D-Max will offer four specification levels and, a first for Isuzu in the UK, an extended cab body configuration, featuring rear-opening side-access panels – joining the single- and double-cab variants.

Prices will range from £14,499 (CVOTR) for the entry-level model 4×2 Single Cab, with air conditioning, electric windows and daytime running lights as standard. The ‘Utah’ 4×4 Double Cab Automatic is priced at £21,499 (CVOTR).

The new model is powered by a 2.5-litre twin-turbo common rail diesel engine with newly-developed six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmissions, generating 163PS and peak torque output of 400Nm. The pick-up also introduces a new ‘shift-on-the-fly’ system, allowing the driver to adjust between two- and four-wheel-drive modes while travelling at speeds of up to 60mph. It has a three-tonne (braked) towing capacity and a payload capacity of 1,000kg.
