The previously referred to DL40-equivalent and V-Cross-equivalent trim levels will now be known as D-Max eDL40 and D-Max eV-Cross, respectively. This naming convention aligns with the existing diesel-powered range, reflecting the fact that the EV versions retain the same core capability, premium features, and rugged DNA as the internal combustion engine D-Max DL40 and V-Cross models, now with the added benefits of electric power.
The New Isuzu D-Max EV will be offered in a selection of colours. eDL40 models will be available in Splash White as standard, with optional premium finishes including Mercury Silver Metallic, Obsidian Grey MICA, Onyx Black MICA, and Biarritz Blue Metallic.
