Isuzu has recently announced plans to offer the D-Max Blade in the United Kingdom where it will have a starting price of £24,995.
Set to go on sale next month, the special edition boasts a long list of unique style enhancements and technology upgrades certain to help the vehicle stand out from the crowd. It features a Shadow grey grille, privacy glass windows, heavy-duty side steps, black roof bars and 18-inch alloy wheels with 255/60 R18 Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires.
The D-Max Blade also comes standard with an under-rail bed liner for added practicality while customers can then choose between an Aeroklas hard top complete with internal light or a Mountain Top Black Roller Top Cover which is unique to the Blade and cannot be purchased as a separate accessory.
Inside, the cabin comes nicely equipped with premium black leather seats, automatic climate control, DAB digital radio and a 6.1-inch touchscreen navigation system, complete with integrated rear safety camera.
Power comes from a twin-turbo 2.5-liter diesel engine which produces 163 hp and 400 Nm of torque. This allows the car to tow 3.5 tonnes and average 7.3-liter/100km (38.2 mpg UK or 31.8 mpg US).
William Brown, General Manager at Isuzu UK, said: "The new Isuzu D-Max Blade is a high-value, high-quality proposition that we hope will widen the appeal of the D-Max further and take us into new market segments. It’s been designed to appeal to urban tradespeople as well as recreational lifestyle users looking for a pick-up that stands out from the crowd. The Blade meets the growing demand for a stylish pick-up that doubles up as an everyday workhorse for those who need it."
