  • 2012 Isuzu D-Max [teaser]

    Isuzu has released a teaser picture of the all-new pick-up – Isuzu D-Max. It will hit the market in June, this year. The truck combines good performance, quality, efficiency and refinement. Isuzu D-Max is the result of the most comprehensive new product development programme in the Japanese company’s history.

    The pick-up features aggressive and imposing exterior styling that reflects its exceptional load-lugging capacity, towing capabilities and off-road performance. The interior boasts more space for driver and passengers as well as featuring high-quality materials and an impressive standard specification.

    Isuzu’s new pick-up sees the introduction of extensively redeveloped common-rail diesel engines, which will deliver significantly improved emissions and fuel economy together with more flexible and accessible power and torque.

    “The result of an exhaustive development process that included extensive research amongst customers around the world, the all-new Isuzu D-Max is an incredibly appealing package that will deliver in every key area that matters to those in farming, construction and other outdoor industries,” commented William Brown, General Manager of Isuzu UK.

    “Available from June through a dedicated, expanding dealer network, this new model will reinforce Isuzu’s strong reputation as the pick-up professionals.  I’m confident that the new Isuzu D-Max will continue the record of impressive year-on-year sales growth that has seen the UK become the brand’s number one European market,” finished Mr. Brown.
